Open Carry?

LOL, thanks. Forgot about that challenge. Did the drum ever work right?

Looks like a combination gun mag, part skillet

That is a problem with arguing for deterrence, I agree. It's hard to measure crimes which don't take place. Every once in a while, though, we get confirmation...such as the Waffle House incident where the criminals, having opted not to rob the Waffle House and having been subsequently apprehended by the police, admitted that it was the presence of the armed citizens that deterred them.

There is also this study done which indicated that criminals fear armed citizens:

There are pros and cons to each type of carry, each weapon one might carry, different holsters, and so on and so on. No one answer is right for everyone. Any choice you make might net you some advantages, but you'll pick up some disadvantages, as well.

i will play devils advocate and say that you cant really trust an NRA website on being unbiased

also, waffle houses have a no carry policy lol

but ya, everyone has a different style. i usually carry strong side hip under my shirt tucked in my waist with a desantis holster, or pocket carry

one guy i know uses pretty much only ankle holsters (not sure why, but hey whatever)

The study itself was sponsored by the Justice Department. Google Paul Blackman if you're not convinced.

I'm aware of waffle house's carry policy. The story is legit, though. It made the news. It happened here in Georgia, in fact.

Ed Stone (past President of GeorgiaCarry.org) wrote about it in one of his Gun Rights articles. http://www.examiner.com/article/open-carry-deters-armed-robbery-kennesaw

It was also heavily discussed on GeorgiaPacking.org.................I'm trying to find the thread.

Damn right. Wal-Mart...

That is awesome! I literally laughed out loud.

Right. Just pull it out after you curse at someone for panhandling.

OK, I admit it. I laughed out loud.
