As for open carry there are good and bad points. Most people who carry a gun prefer to keep it concealed for obvious reasons.

Now we hear that Hillary favors the government taking all guns from the people regardless of the 2nd amendment. Get ready for the second American Revolution folks. How many people will die then?
I'm a firm believer in open carry of a firearm. With the following restrictions, you must have a background check and must attend a gun safety course, and receive a picture ID just like a conceal carry license. The reason I prefer open carry as to conceal carry is two fold. One is I only want to use the weapon as the last resort. Criminals look for easy targets. They do not want to target someone who could cause them harm. So if they see I'm armed, they will most likely pass me by and those that are directly around me. If they do not, then be happy you have a way to defend yourself. Second its time to get rid of this gunphobia in this nation. This fear of guns by the general public is just not healthy. Just because you see a person with a gun on them is not a reason to call 911. You call 911 because of the way they are acting not because you get a peak at a gun under their coat.
