Open carry, what would you carry?

[jrbfishn]

I'd carry this because it's just as silly as open carry.

You may as well conceal carry that, because having a gun where you may not be able to get to it when attacked is, well....just silly.

Actually, pretty much the same arguements can be used against either means of carry.

It's clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. It is also clear you have not taken any classes of instruction/training involving FOF or ECQC, which is unfortunate. I highly recommend seeking out the aforementioned training.

Being rude to a long time (and well respected) member (that you don't really know) certainly won't endear you to a great deal of the membership here.

Oops! Thanks!

 

[BRD@66]

Or endear you either.

I don't think I trust your assessment of what's clear.

So ignorance is excused by membership status?

Sure seems like LEOs and military get plenty of training and still open carry. Next time you see one you should straighten them out.

Haven't seen much ignorance. A little arrogance, but no ignorance.

What is perfectly clear is that you have absolutely no idea what level of training I have. Or what sarcasm is. No matter how well trained you think you are or what you think you know, there is more ways to look at things than your own narrow minded way.
One of things I like the best about this forum is that people here with an intelligent argument have changed my mind on subjects or at least gotten me to look at things with a different perspective.

Well,,,,they have excused yours so far, so.
And I am not the one claiming to be the final authority on the subject like you.
And yes, I am ignorant. There are a great many things I do not know. But I am willing to learn. But not from someone that seems to have as little of your screen name as you do. But cheer up, don't get your feelings hurt because I don't think you are some godly creature with supernatural intelligence and skill. Use this as a learning opportunity. After all, you can learn from an ignorant person. You can even learn from a fool.

If nothing else, you might learn how not to be one.

I'm happy to open carry any of my glocks. I am fine with any bad guys to see my pistol and realize I'm the wrong lady to mess with and they better move along and pick somebody else to accost.

I totally get this viewpoint. Possible victim, removes that option with open carry.

Personally, I won't do open carry in most instances. I don't look like a victim, and I feel OC might make me look like a threat which needs to be resolved. So I don't plan to OC. Much like other choices in life, there are a few factors to consider. My preference is to be invisible until I need to be otherwise. I think OC would make me stand out in a bad situation.

 

[Charlie]

Understood. I conceal carry all the time and don't worry about anything. I deal with a lot of people all day long and don't (shouldn't) offend them. Easier for me. Should a situation come up, I'm still ready!

 

[sergeant69]

this is what i would LIKE to carry. but its so heavy i might as well carry a cop on my back.

 

[LOCKHART]

Has anyone suggested an M4 type carbine, with 30 round mag? Seems like the perfect choice for open carry! lol

 

[Tcruse]

I'm sure it would be a 1911 in .45, after all, what else is there? I have a few in the stable I can choose from.

Interesting that a number of people choose 1911 in .45ACP. Certainly, probably the most known of the choices. It does work in that it is relatively narrow for a full sized gun and there are lots of "nice" looking holsters. However, the capacity is limited (8 to 10 max) and it is heavy.
SW M&P 9 certainly should be a popular choice. Amazing no one mentioned Glock 17/19. If we would to make a survey of openly carried guns, the Glock would certainly be the most common.
As a personal preference, never considered the XD/XDM as a "service" level weapon.
