concealed vs. open carry

[Punisher]

alright guys - here is my opinion:

i think that concealed carry has it advantages and disadvantages and the same for open carry - i think with open carry, some of the upsides are: the gun is easier to get to, it's already a crime deterrent (i've heard more stories of people pulling a gun and deterring crime than actually needing to shoot someone), and one of the best, it allows us to exercise our civil rights.
concealed advantages: no chance of getting hassled or targeted if it's well concealed, you can carry more than one gun without looking like a terrorist, lol and it has an element of surprise in a bad situation..........

that's what i think and i'd be very interested to hear what the rest of you have to say.......... this has been discussed in other threads, but i'd like to see one dedicated to it. even if there is already a thread, it's time for a new one as the PAFOA community grows. try to keep it friendly even though i'm sure there will be huge differences of opinion........but i want to hear all sides..........

this is NOT for whether you think it's right or wrong, as both methods of carry are legal !!
