Thoughts on open carrying? I really want to rock this old fashion cross shoulder holster but I don't want to intimidate people too much or look retarded. I'm not a sperg so think I could pull the look off and I feel like the classic aesthetic comes off as relatively unthreatening
>open carrying
Bad idea. Kills the surprise elements
this. there's a reason you never see police carrying openly.
Are you making a joke?
Are you autistic or German?
Why not both?
Ja
the lesson is: only open cary when you have body armor and backup.
No, that is a misinterpreted bastardization of The Lesson.
Thats why you never see cops with body armor or radios.
Haha, sardonic parody! I don't need that shit to pack big iron, Einstein. Your mockery of Constitutional Rights betrays your antigun position. Sad really, when you work against the very nature and essence of freedom.
>nooo, you HAVE TO HIDE IT!!!
Followed by:
>RRRREEEEEEEE
Behind every cop is a thousand other cops on overtime, that's the difference. If cop's gun is stolen you get the entire department on your case. Meanwhile if an ordinary Joe Blogg's gun gets stolen it's just yet another robbery.
And the same for any victimization. YOU are responsible for your own safety, no one else. In your paranoid fantasy you get executed on sight for having a gun. In mine, I am responsible for myself, my loved ones, then others and have yet to be victimized. My fantasy is supported by years of experience, yours by paranoid delusions.
Hey, I'm all for OC. Normalization of OC is a good thing, especially in places where it is de jure legal but de facto not. I'm just explaining why cops don't have to worry about such things.
Got it, crossed posts. I blended with this:
>Open carrying is basically like wearing a giant "shoot me in the back of the head first" sign
Which I find ridicules as I do oc and often.
Wow you're an idiot.
Not comparable situations. A civilian open carrying is saying - to any potential attackers - 'you will need full force immediately for this target.' It can act as passive de-escalation, of course, but if you're dealing with one of the FBI's chud schizos then you're obviously target #1.
Police open carry not just for convenience of access but to lean heavily on that passive de-escalation element. Police also work in teams, which makes 'just kill this guy first' not a particularly applicable tactic.
Ultimately there's nothing wrong with open carry but just remember you're surrendering the element of surprise and no weapon made is better than good situational awareness.
I’ve seen at least 10 vids, probably more, on Active Self Protection of open carriers immediately disarmed at gunpoint, had the gun yanked out of their (shitty) holster, or just get shot in the back of the head and looted by some random moron.
Deep fake.
Oh wow. Ten supposed vids. And do you have a vid for every time that doesn't happen?
Its like not driving a car because you've seen at least ten videos of car crashes. You don't have any real gauge of what you're even discussing.
That’s a terrible analogy because you’re the one making the choice to open carry you don’t choose to get in a car crash. A better analogy would be driving with bald tires or shitty brakes, making it more likely something bad would happen.
Sir, you're the one who doesn't understand the analogy. You have no hard facts to back up the claim that open carrying is more likely to get you targeted and jumped. That is why my analogy works. You cannot claim open carrying is unsafe by just watching some random videos. It doesn't give any kind of realistic information.
Admittedly, the car crash analogy has flaws, such as the fact that statistics exist pointing at the rate of deaths via car crashes. No such statistic exits for open-carry though.
You've completely missed what i was even trying to tell you. SO I'll ask more directly: Do you have a single fact to back up your statement?
How about you stop babbling on about statistics and use your fucking brain you autist. You’re standing in line at a gas station and a moron walks in gun up, he already has the drop on the couple of people inside. You’re the only one who visibly has a gun strapped to his hip. Who is he immediately going to focus on?
I'm not going to debate you over the morons in your head. morons sees you OC, he shots you. moron doesn't see you CC, he shoots you anyway because you're in between him and the register.
You are at a disadvantage in any situation you actually need to use your gun if the aggressor already knows you have one. I don’t get what’s so hard to understand about this.
The difference between the imaginary morons in your head and actual morons is that actual morons aren’t going to target a store where the customers are visibly armed, if they’re even paying enough attention to notice in the first place
Literally millions of gun owners and thousands of murders each year and 10ish videos, which may not even be contemporary to each other by the way, are going to totally rule out OC for you? Doesn't make sense tbh senpai famalam. Seems like you just don't want to OC, which is fine I CC a G19 all the time, and are making up a justification that you don't need beyond "I don't feel the need"
and now just think of all the times that didn't happen because gunman decided "fuck that shit im not going to risk it" Hell the only time i've ever seen someone get shot on the draw or with a weapon visible is when they are either
A: A security guard
B: that one guy at the texas church who took like 30 seconds to get his gun out
Man you’re fucking retarded
Open carry. Do it so we can be rid of your retarded ass.
This anon gets it.
Some places it is also harder to concealed carry. I live in Florida and its hot as hell here. trying to have a shirt that covers a pistol IWB is such a fucking pain. I just carry a .38 snub nose in my front pocket now. If I need more than 5 shots I got a speed strip in my back pocket. If I need more than that. Fucking bye.
Open carrying is basically like wearing a giant "shoot me in the back of the head first" sign. The very first indication anyone should ever get that you are carrying a gun should be you firing it at them.
The only exceptions are when you're at the range fucking around, or innawoods/innawilderness where you may need to draw as quickly as possible.
>"shoot me in the back of the head first"
>twink carries at15 into local mall
>oh oops better see who's open carrying before I start blasting people in the back.
Accept that not everyone shares your romanticism. You will look like a sperg.
>You will look like a sperg.
You're right, it's fedora tier.
I know it's quixotic but I almost don't even care. It's just such a classic. I'm probably gonna buy one anyway, if only to take to the range or go hiking with.
man rage comics has come so far
I can most assure you, sir. You are indeed a sperg.
I'm jerkin' it to ya, sperg-boy!
Just do it. These homos are city fags. Out wesr oc is just fine. I see it nearly everyday. The problem with the above gays is too much time indoors. 7.5" scoped Super Redhawk picrel. Nobody says shit to me about it.
Is that supposed to be a male mannequin?
You wish, weirdo.
Thanks bros, I'll tote with pride
>90% of the board says you'll look retarded and upset people
>3 people are as retarded as you
>You cherry pick them for support
Internet echo chambers like that are how chudism spreads
Well, it it worked for trannies, then it should work for OC. So why are you so negative about it?
You should be shamed for both. Both do nothing but draw unnecessary attention to yourself marking you as a potential target, and make people feel uncomfortable.
>You should be shamed for ... make people feel uncomfortable
lmao, why do you even bother coming here? Go back to your hugbox. It's alright, he'll slap a trigger warning on his holster, maybe 5 lb.
Because I don’t like making random women/children who aren’t familiar with firearms feel uncomfortable. Also enjoy being the first one killed in a situation where you’d actually need to use your handgun.
>Also enjoy being the first one killed in a situation where you’d actually need to use your handgun.
What fucking planet are you people from that oc enjoyers are getting gunned down daily?
Your reading comprehension isn’t very good friend
Retard
>Not doing something because some women will disapprove
>implying children will care
lmao, okay.
The point is to not make people uncomfortable. Not to mention gays call the police on you. Wasting both the cops time and yours just because some liberal cunt was spooked by a gun being within her general area.
There's absolutely no point in OC. Aside from a slightly faster draw than CC. And that can be mitigated with practice. If you OC you're doing it for attention and to get a reaction. Not because its safer. Either that or it's because you're a fat fuck and can't CC comfortably.
Acclimatization seems to be worthy goal for OC, frankly. How long will Karen freak out every day before she gets charged with false reports?
>chudism=RKBA
You are the problem, not part of it.
lewd pic not allowed, this is sfw board
>Mannequin
>Lewd
Jesus anon I gets it’s been a while but a female form is not inherently sexual
but female form wearing nothing but a holster is.
More erotic, than lewd. I force her tio wear nothing but the black leather crossdraw and a Rhodie split tail bush hat. Size 2 hard body hotness and never talks too much.
You're right anon, that's less threatening than a hip holster. I'd go for it if I were you.
Verification not required.
Just do it OP, I open carry a few times a month because I can and so homeless will leave me alone. If anyone calls it out just mention how crazy things are getting nowadays and you can't be too safe.
Do it king
A true chad either CCs or OCs when he feels like it and doesn't live in some cuck state or a hypocrite state
>t. lives in a hypocrite state aka Florida so open carry is impossible for now
the element of surprise advice is good OP, take it when you are in cities
especially when melenated men are around
they will try and steal your gun if you are open carrying and they will be in packs, one might distract you while another grabs for it
if they get a good grip on it, you cant draw
retards watching you get robbed will also claim you instigated it because you had a gun
in a just society, you would be able to open carry but be aware of what might happen
its better to not make yourself a target and only be targeted by those who see you as weak and defenseless
>muh element of surprise
so why aren't they attacking cops you stupid fuck?
Or better yet, why are you OC'ing with a cheap shit holster?
The dumber ones do sometimes reach for cops guns
>He lets riff raff get close to his OC
NGMI. I keep mine on a second belt and rotate it to my front when I'm around them.
Looks gay just get a side holster like literally fucking everyone who actually shoots uses
>soldiers in WWII didn't shoot
What
>I'm not a sperg
Yes you are. You're on PrepHole, PrepHole on a sunday night. Everyone is weary of your school shooter looking ass without guns. I'm old with gray hair, so I get free passes. You're not old and you socialize as well as a scared wet cat.
>Thoughts on open carrying?
Don't fucking do it, you gotta look the part. If you're an aged man, well dressed and groom, people will think it's part of your job. If you're under 25, everyone will just assume you're a school shooter. Open Carry laws are there to protect you from getting arrested when you take your guns from your car to your house, or the range to your car, or from your house to you car. Situations where you have to expose them to the public. Open carry laws aren't there so you can walk into McDonalds with your fat ass slinging an AR. Conceal carry is the best option for everyone involved.
Either this is bait or really good pasta, or better yet, this stupid gay is actually being serious
The Second Amendment is pretty clear in that we have the right to KEEP AND BEAR arms and that they SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
There is no if ands or buts about it
>complaining about people on PrepHole on a sunday night
>accusing OP of being a school shooter
It's the honest truth, if you're under 25, everyone that sees you with a gun will auto assume you're a school shooter. You fuckers scare me the most when I'm at the range, and stay far away from you tarts. You're also the most likely to use shitty trash guns that lead to NDwith stuck casings, failures to eject or failures to feed.
>The Second Amendment is pretty clear
I won't feel sorry for you when cops get called to deal with you and you get shot. You don't get to choose what kind of attention brandishing firearms in public will net you. If there's no need to open carry, don't do it.
You talk like a fag and your shits all retarded. I bet you believe in common sense gun laws and kiss men for pleasure.
Take his advice young spergling
You should be going to bed and taking your medication.
The once and only time I was ever accused of plotting a school shooting was when I didn't even own a single gun and now I currently own 13 and I keep 4 on rotation for carry.
I dont care what you have to say, and you can shove your dumb gay ass opinion where it rightly belongs.
For the record I carry a Glock 19, USP 45, Beretta M9A1, and a S&W 638, because I can and I actually own them. Unlike you who probably doesn't own a gun or all you have is some piece of shit cheap "conceal carry" gun that you bought in 2020 because the morons made you shit your pants and actually feel fear for life for the very first time
I will carry my guns as I please because I am a god damn American
>Anime poster
>Doesn't even argue he's under 25
>I will carry my guns as I please because I am a god damn American
Also partially retarded, cause other americans are the biggest threat you face.
One, anime website
Two, I'm 24 years old, why would I lie about my age?
>laughing at my pride in being an American
Post guns to prove that you're not a eurogay larping as a retarded boomer
Nice spread. Now your challenge is to oc 3/4 and deep cover the Bodyguard.
I've managed to deep cover the bodyguard plenty of times but OC is impossible because fucking Florida
You’re really proving oldfags point anon, black bed sheets and all. Not to mention your complete disregard for proper aesthetic in revolver selection. That hammerless two-tone off-white abomination says everything I need to know.
post guns gay
And he better post them too unless his dumb boomer ass is incapable of it
It's a miracle that his retarded ass knows how to use a PC
Last time I posted my stuff to prove my point last year, anons saved my pictures and reposted them in other threads for months. I'm not showing you my guns, you're getting a Fuck You instead.
>coping for the fact he’s a larper and owns no guns
If you can’t afford a good gun just say it anon
So you dont own anything and you're just a coping loser with no balls, no honor, and more importantly, no guns
Therefore any other retarded opinion you have is worthless
Fed
Do you carry your USP? I'm trying to find a good holster for IWB. Maybe I should just buy the alien gear and be done with it.
Hey you fucking retard. Fellow Americans have done more to harm you than any foreign nation in the last 200 years. Who erodes the bill of rights and your freedoms? Americans.
Plus. Who the fuck is going to rob you? Other Americans.
>Who erodes the bill of rights and your freedoms?
morons
Who the fuck is going to rob you?
Most definitely morons
>gotta look the part
>all decked out in this stupid ass plastic armor, fucking shiny black crotch rocket and a glock with a stendo
Check and well done. Kuddos to the Warrior of the Wasteland.in us all.
>Open Carry laws are there to protect you from getting arrested when you take your guns from your car to your house, or the range to your car, or from your house to you car.
yeah sure just hide you practicing your god given rights whenever possible. Fuck this stupid shit with CC being the only option because "oh no Karen could get scarred!!!" Oh gives a shit, police maybe show up and ask a couple questions before you're on your way if that. Normalize OC and normalize gun culture so its even harder to step on our rights.
I don’t see anyway you’re going to progress 2nd Amendment freedoms with social skills like that.
Kek ok "boomer". I'm 26 and I'm well groomed and dressed most of the time so by your arbitrary standards I should be fine. Not that I give a fuck. I figured PrepHole would mostly be against OC on tactical grounds which is fair, but I didn't expect this level of insecure incel projection from half the posters. I'd probably mog most of these losers with my good looks anyway.
You know what, y'all are right let Karen's call the cops I don't give a fuck. Honestly after reading all the bitter bitching in this thread I'm convinced that I have a moral imperative to open carry.
Thanks for an argument that's well thought out and isn't gay and autistic. I'll probably alternate between the two depending on where it is I'm going. If I lived in Memphis or Atlanta I'd definitely CC all the time but I'm from a mid-sized town in the deep south so I'm not too worried about glowie groomed retards or getting caught up in a robbery. I think passive de-escalation would likely benefit me more than losing the element of surprise would hurt me.
I can tell by your question that you are too young to be carrying anyways.
I only ever see old boomers open carrying
And once a dickhead on a motorcycle, man you should've seen this asshole all decked out in this stupid ass plastic armor, fucking shiny black crotch rocket and a glock with a stendo lol. Some people, man.
>all decked out in this stupid ass plastic armor, fucking shiny black crotch rocket and a glock with a stendo
I hope someday every man will look like that, projecting raw power everywhere they go, and requiring you to do the same or eat the dust
seeing meek unremarkable gray men all around you is so tiring, bros
A meek person is someone who is willing to learn. If there are any truly meek men in this world, they would have learned a thing or two over the last couple of years and acted accordingly. But I do like leather, I must admit
I couldn’t imagine wearing that all leather outfit would be feasible in the middle of an Australian summer, but it does look neat.
Imagine the smell
Smell Gibson
>that all leather outfit
>And once a dickhead on a motorcycle
I open carry when I'm on my motorcycle; it's the best way to carry in that position. My friend got his bike stolen when some bros did a tip & toss on him and I don't be wanting that to happen to me. No way I could clear a holster with all my gear on.
>Thoughts on open carrying?
If you see a lot of people open carrying - can't see why not. Your autismo holster would be seen as a curiosity. If nobody in your county is open carrying, you'll become a town retard.
>i'm not a sperg
If you're considering wearing that in public, yes you fucking are
if you're going to open carry you have to commit to making it a part of your outfit. if you dress like brendan frasier in the mummy you can pull it off.
>I'm not a sperg
Wrong.
Posting in a demoralizing thread
Yeah it's demoralizing that some gays think that exercising your rights is cringe
honestly if you can do it. Normalize it wherever you go
personally i've never liked that style of chest/shoulder holster but hey you do you anon
I open carry my bowie knife and saa on an authentic money belt.
I like this. If it offends people, so much the better.
Of course. OP’s holster is literally junk - I have one.
>with big iron on his... stomach?
>~~/big iron on his stomach/~~
Open carry is stupid in an urban environment or if you’re going to be around a lot of people. The whole reason I carry innacity is because there are some potentially dangerous people in certain parts of town. If I was visibly armed then I would be an immediate target.
This is a reasonable position. I also like katanas hidden in walking canes.
>makes me a target
makes you the opposite of one, dipshit mcgee is going to go rob jim who seemed to be armed with some very effeminate fists not the guy with a .38 in a shoulder holster or a glock at his hip
No, more it’s more like Tyrone will shoot at you first because he can can see you have a gun
literally the last mass shooter cased the area before attempting a massacre but then was stopped by someone who was CONCEAL CARRYING
there is several documented robberies of convenience stores where they case the place, see a guy open carrying, they shoot him first and then rob the place. go watch some fucking active self protection videos, I hate that fat fuck but at least he has a fucking point.
Oh dude, don't stop OP from open carrying if he really wants to.
Think of it this way.
>OP open carries
>You conceal carry
>OP looks hella aesthetic
>you look tragically lame and normie
>OP gets shot by mass shooter
>you get the opportunity to draw and fire on the mass shooter
OP will die a chad OC enjoyed sporting peak anesthetics and you get to fight in his shade. Its a win/win.
These "men" are henpecked cucks
You will just invite shadyfags that want a gun.
Depends on location and other nuanced factors. 4chin has never been able to appreciate nuance since most autism is all or nothing. I'd carry my 1911 in a tanker holstsr some places, nobody ever said a thing. Then I moved and I wouldn't open carry in town because it's full of harpies and sheepdawgs instead of nice country old people.
You should do whatever you fucking want, period
If you think you should CC, fine, tuck your tiny ass gun into a IWB or a your pocket and call it a day
If you want to OC, put the gun on a OWB or shoulder rig and call it a day.
Letting other people influence your decisions is gay herd mentality
>tiny ass gun
Can you not conceal a full size handgun, anon? Why is that?
I can but lets be real here most people dont CC a USP or Beretta 92
They CC a P365, Shield, G43x or a 638.
Glock 19s are the biggest guns I personally CC because everything else requires a wardrobe change.
Fuck women
Fuck kids
Men rule the world
You should buy a fedora and trench coat to go with it you sperg. Also those shitty white new balance type shoes would really complete the autistic look if that’s what you’re going for.
>I don't want to intimidate people too much or look retarded
You will 100% do both
Open carry is for dorks and dicklets. Enjoying being the first casualty of an active shooter incident. Your element of surprise is gone.
>t. lots of theoretical experience
Live in fear, gays.
>critical thinking skills
>finding a better approach to the situation
>"LMAO why are you so scared bro!?"
I OC my Model 19 when I'm out in the woods, I CC an autoloader everywhere else, sometimes just a mouse gun in the pocket for summer days. Simple as.
>itt oc == death sentence on sight
Crazy.
If you open carry while wearing a full business suit. No one panics. If you carry while wearing shorts, a fedora and an anime Tshirt, people will panic.
Checked lmao that'd be a disaster. I'd just wear jeans, boots, and decent button down shirt like this.
Inshallah brother, they will surely know you mean no harm!
Why not both?
I look forward to seeing OP in a future open carry cringe compilation.
>tactical flip flops out of frame
So close.
Lol I remember this seeing this awhile ago, actually pretty based. I'd leave the hat at home and keep the shirt unbuttoned but he seems cool.
Anyone who thinks that open carrying a firearm makes you a target is criminally retarded, and anyone who thinks that you can draw from concealment ‘just as fast’ with practice is also just objectively fucking stupid. And I’m speaking as someone who exclusively concealed carries
Simply possessing a gun is going to be suitable deterrent almost 100% of the time
>Anyone who thinks that open carrying a firearm makes you a target is criminally retarded,
I wish I had saved the webbems of the retards that carry and morons stealing their shit or people calling the cops.
>retarded,
no u
Woah I’m sure you appearing to be completely unarmed would have deterred such a robbery anon
>someone gets the jump on you
>lose wallet AND gun
>potentially your life
Or
>just lose wallet
Tough choice.
ey yo mugfuger white boi finna kick yo hed fo lookin me funny ackshully nah bro gon kill dis white boi now he made me mad do
>I'm not a sperg
I wouldn't do it. the overall culture is entirely against it, people panic over the smallest things and I'm no revolutionary out there trying to change the world.
Personally I wouldn't, because it tends draw attention. And I don't just mean in a life-or-death situation, I mean that it makes people look at you, and I hate getting attention from strangers.
Unless you are willing to be as oblivious as pic related, don't bother.
What are the chances he has another in the front waistband and a Derringer in his sock?
shit. I would put money he has one in his hat
>Hat carry
Chad energy
it depends on where you are and how you look. Some redneck boomer in the middle of bumfuck Tennessee wearing levis and a trucker hat isn't going to look out of place with that, but some skinny zoomer wearing a t- shirt and basketball shorts in suburbia is.
I'm afraid OP is just too chad for you fags. Go for it , these gays just don't exude a winner's mentality. I'm sure if you OC with this bad ass holster Tyrone will cower in fear.
Id say "Open Carrying" something like this is a very viable option, as long as you wear a shirt, or jacket, to atleast partially cover it from view of everyone
>partially cover it from view
What is brandish for $200, AlexRIP?
Wow imagine having such shit cops and laws that having a somewhat obscured handgun would lead to brandishing charges.
Sorry, pal. I don't make the rules. Concealed carry means concealed. If it peaks out, even unintended, it can be construed as brandishing. Unless you have constitutional carry, concealed means concealed. That's why oc is so much easier, it's not brandishing when it's seen.
>I'm not a sperg
Yes you are and that holster has all the disadvantages possible and none of the advantages of a real crossdraw or drop leg. Start again
