We've been discussing concealed carry vs. open carry forever now. There is one other option we haven't really talked about; not carrying at all.
For people without a concealed carry permit for whatever reason (they don't want to apply, can't afford it, can't supply certain divorce documents, arrest dispositions, whatever) the argument isn't really CC vs OC. It's OC versus going out unarmed.
Which one do you feel is safer? If concealed carry laws were banished overnight and breaking the law wasn't an option would you rather open carry or leave your gun at home?
