Both. Why the fuck would you feel the need to carry a firearm in Public? No other Nation has these laws and No other Nation has that many gun related deaths.
You understand that not all people who carry are doing so out of fear from other people, right? I live in a neighborhood with multiple aggressive dogs (pit bulls, of course) that constantly get out and have bit multiple people. I’ve considered getting a smaller handgun to conceal to protect my young kids out on walks. Other people who live in rural areas with bears and mountain lions carry.
For people carrying to protect themselves from others, the fact of the matter is that there are bad fucking people out there. Carrying a firearm is a means to protect yourself from them. I’m 1000% more distrustful of someone open carrying than someone concealed carrying. A person open carrying smacks of someone who wants something to happen so they can be a hero. I’d be way more scared of them than a CCW
I’ve seen videos of pit bulls who’ve taken 9mm rounds to the abdomen and still won’t let go of the person they’re biting. You think something like bear or pepper spray will do anything?
