eh. i don't really like open carry. it doesn't bother me if you want to do it, but it just seems really odd to me. even with growing up hunting and shooting guns all of the time, i could never see myself carrying a firearm with me while i walk around town, go shopping, or whatever. though, when in high school many years ago, i did have a rifle in my friends truck, so that we could go hunting after school. omg. you could NOT do that today. people probably look at what we used to do in the 90's as insanity.
Yup I’m indifferent with open carry. I honestly like concealed better however I do like open carry only for the fact that it gets people used to seeing firearms and making it normal part of their lives. Just like a car or money is normal.
Generalizing here…but no one is scared of something they see all the time.
Ya one of my buddies I played hockey with at Michigan State had a rifle and a couple shotguns in the back of his truck in mid 2000s and would shoot up north and go hunting on Sundays on our off-day each week. Not legal then…but definitely frowned on now hahahaha.
what does it feel when you can legally protect yourself with a firearm?
I am very used to it because I grew up with it my entire life, so I never even think about it to be quite honest, but I try not to take the freedom for granted. I try to teach others about it and talk about it whenever possible.
It doesn’t give you a license to be reckless, though, like most would make you believe. I am still just as cautious if not even more cautious when carrying. You have a greater responsibility as a gun owner as someone that carries to not only yourself, but your family and the people around you.
And not only cautious with your handling a firearms, but also cautious about where you are going and awareness of your surroundings. Having a firearm doesn’t mean you just walk down dark alleys at night. It increases your personal responsibility and awareness for sure.
