Combined with “Stand your Ground” laws, this will lead to a lot of needless bloodshed.

Wow not like someone could just grab that and now have a gun to use against her…

What kind of shit hole do these people live in if they need a gun to walk their dog?
It’s either a red state hellscape of violence or they’re the most frightened people to ever exist.

Why are people so enamoured with open carry. If I’m a bad person wanting to do bad things, who do you think would be the first target? That’s right, anyone that has a gun strapped to their hip.
You’re making yourself a target and you don’t have a clue as to who is targeting you.
I prefer conceal carry so that you get the drop on the bad guy not the other way round.

no matter your stance on guns there is no practical purpose for open carry over concealed. If I was the kind of person to carry a gun for “protection” why would I want everyone to know what and where I’m carrying.
The only purpose for openly carrying is to show off your gun. if anything I’d think it would only make you a bigger target, or even have your gun used against you by an attacker

Any self defense or weapons expert will tell you that open carry is really, really stupid for several reasons.

Zero retention on that holster. Yeah perfect for open carry – facepalm 🤦🏼♂️

Open carry of a weapon also means easily open-stealing it by someone!!!!

For us in Europeans, this is completely insane. Police and military carry guns. Private citizes? Only when hunting and under rigorous control.

I’m sorry but if I can’t walk my dog in comfort without being strapped, Im just fucking moving

People open carry for attention. Not protection
Francesca_N_Furter on
Ok, so work with me on this…..this woman is walking her dogs—probably has her dominant hand holding the leash……I am thinking that if anyone needs a gun, they can just grab hers. I mean, it’s right there…..and looks easy to get to.
She’s going to get her fat ass shot off.

I can’t understand this. I’m a small woman who has walked around in Florida (mostly tourist areas but also residential areas) and I have never once wished I had a gun to protect me. And there have been times where I felt a bit uncomfortable or scared, but I really think having a gun on me would have only increased my anxiety.
Maybe it’s my Canadian-ness, but the only time I ever want a gun on me is when I go to the gun range to shoot at targets for fun.
Justastinker on
I carry when I walk my dogs too, but that’s because there are freaking mountain lions (and maybe bears, but we will be dead if that’s the case). But I have it concealed because I don’t want to look and feel like a dummy, I don’t want to scare anyone or make them uncomfortable, or be a target for gun theft. Also, that holster is so freaking big and ugly, just like the soul of that woman.

It blows over. Kansas has no licenses to open carry or conceal carry and everyone was doing this then now you never see a gun because open carry is stupid. Why would you want it known you’re carrying. If I’m commiting a hypothetical crime I’m going for that person first.
Edit: not to mention it would be so easy to sneak up behind her and just grab the gun and take it from her lol
Corey307 on
Open carry is dumb. Look at that shitty holster, it has zero retention meaning somebody can walk up to you and take that gun off your hip. It also doesn’t help that she’s wearing it as a fashion accessory. Guns or tools not toys and that holster screams I have no idea what I’m doing.
I live in Vermont where we have constitutional carry meaning the state considers the constitution your permit to open or conceal carry a firearm if you can legally own firearms. Almost no one open carries despite it having been legal for some time. It makes you a target for thieves, crazy people, anti-gun people. Last thing I’d want is to be at Home Depot and have some asshole from Massachusetts call the cops panicking because a man has a gun.
I carry because I’ve had bad things happen to me through no fault of my own and while I go out of my way to practice deescalation and conflict avoidance, I’d rather have it concealed than not. It’s concealed because it’s an absolute last option, I’m not broadcasting to the world don’t fuck with me or I’ll shoot you.

This js America. I don’t mind people open carrying to protect themselves if they are responsible gun owners.
Problem is anyone can go to a store right now, buy a gun, and carry it anywhere they want with absolutely zero training whatsoever.
Key word. Responsible. And actually use it to defend oneself from real harm. Not because someone starts recording you or tells you to put your dog on a leash.

I don’t understand how anyone would feel so unsafe walking their dog that they need an instrument of death to do so while also thinking they live in the greatest country on earth. If you need a gun to leave the house you live in a failed state.

Don’t worry guys. It’s Florida. They’re going to handle this with the calm, sober rationality that they’re famous for.

This is a fad. I remember being a young Soldier, excited to carry a pistol on my hip. That particular fashion accessory soon becomes a heavy irritant that ruins your belt and requires constant maintenance in return for nothing more than pseudo-clout and a dramatically increased risk of accidental injury or death. I don’t carry a pistol for the same reason I don’t carry a sledgehammer or a pickaxe; because they are completely unnecessary in my daily life or work.
