LOL that was a very nicely articulated hit piece on open carriers, even though the author claimed it wasn't.
He is right about a lot of things, but some of us do carry for political reasons, educational reasons, and deterrent reasons. I'll top this off with saying that I open carry or conceal carry depending on the circumstances. I'm more comfortable with open carry because of my back problem, it just hurts me a lot less. Also, as much as I've tried to practice my CC, I still every once and a while get my shirt caught on the hammer, a deadly error under pressure that could easily get me killed. No thanks, I'll continue doing both.
