Oh boy
You know I opened up this same can of worms earlier this year. And I learned a few things...
1. for every one person who is passionate about OC'ing there are five people passionatly against OC.
2. There are as many sects of firearm owners as there are religions. Example, hunters who just want hunting firearms, compition owners who think they are only for compitition, and your passionate 2A everyone should own a gun owners, just to name a few...
3. OC'ing and CC'ing are almost like political parties. Where as some CC'ers are a member of the NRA and support canidates who support their gun rights. OC'ers distrust the NRA as a business who makes to many compromises. And generally flock to more grass roots organizations and look for canidates who preach way more than just the pro 2A speal.
4. You cannot sway someone who wishes not to be swayed. You can talk yourself blue in the face on either form of carry and no one will change their opinion.
There are people who will ask a significant other 5 or 8 times a day if they are "printing" because they are that into concealing to the best of their ability. And as long as they are happy than why try and change their minds?
There are people who OC to make a political statement. Owning and carrying a gun is legal and should be considered acceptable period. On that same note before I get ostracized there are other reasons that people OC and CC. It may have to do with firearm selection and or local law.
Are these the only reason people carry? No people carry for a wide array of reasons. The cons and pros for either form are only in the eyes of the beholder.
This man has every right to his opinion. If that is how he views it than so be it. Some may say that to conceal a firearm is sneaky and people who do that are not to be trusted. Neither of these statements are facts they are opinions and people have a right to them.
I state this only because my own thread on this topic turned very sour and it was a no win for anyone. So by all means discuss the subject but do not allow your feelings to be hurt or emotions to overule your sound judgement. As someone had stated we are both on the same team. We just play a different position.

Open carry in public is rude and shows a lack of class. Sorry, but that's how I see it.
