Which is better: Open-carry or concealed-carry?
Speaking of guns, just to be clear. The question is also from the perspective of the other person. Of the two, which would you prefer that other people do when they carry, open-carry or concealed-carry? Why? What factors do you look at?
I would prefer people open-carry. I figure that lots of people currently carry now, legally and illegally, and I don't know who is carrying or not. With open-carry, I know. (Not that I'm the type to do something, but I still like to know.)
Open-carry really seems to unnerve some people, though.
Note: I am purposely leaving only two options in the poll.

There is that. Too many people just friggin' freak out when they see a gun.I think concealed carry is better. There are too many limp-wristed pansies out there who would freak out just SEEING a firearm. It's best that they not know.

It's a normal, healthy visceral response to sensing danger.
Why? Anyone wanting to harm you is not likely to advertise his intentions.
Look up the meaning of the word visceral.
Visceral does not necessarily equal rational. To me, seeing a person open-carry would indicate that they are less likely to have insidious intent. It's the criminal schmuck who conceals... that I can't see coming... that worries me.It's a normal, healthy visceral response to sensing danger.

In this day and age, concealed-carry is better so liberals don't faint upon seeing a firearm.
Oh please, it's not the political persuasion that upsets people. It's the individual carrying and setting that upsets people. I'm pro gun and it pisses me off when a particular idiot in town open carries at a park with his young kids (and lots of other people with young kids) with a few hundred people gathered to enjoy band performances in the summer. There is absolutely no call for it, he's not protecting himself or anyone else. He does not give a **** that he upsets people trying to enjoy a summer evening with their loved ones. Him and his family are a ****ing distraction at these events.
There's something to that. If your purpose in carrying a firearm is to make a political statement you are, in my opinion, doing it wrong.
