Probably because he can. Why does some one have to carry around 30 pounds more muscle then most guys.
I personally don’t like open carry unless your in uniform as I feel it takes away from the element of surprise and can make you a target but if that’s the only option you have then it’s better than nothing
I dont carry. No one bothers me once i lifted for a couple years. I live in a top 10 safest city in the US over 100k people. Cops are on people in 5 minutes here catching shop lifters running out of stores because they have so little to do.
There is no real point debating guns on a forum like this. I have mixed views. People should have the right to carry but I think things gets ridiculous and they obviously need to tighten the law in the US. By that I mean a random teenager shouldn't be able to buy a high powdered rifle like they can today. People go on about the 2nd amendment but guns have changed a lot since that was written. A lot of damage can be done with certain guns in the wrong hands. That is all common sense but for many they are opposed to any gun restriction in the US. It's crazy to me how a kid can't buy alcohol or cigarettes but can walk in and buy a gun in some places. Most on this forum will never use their gun in a violent situation so it's different for you though. You are basically responsible and have no intent to harm others. Before anyone replies I am aware of the statistics and overall it's not as big as most think but still it's common sense to me.

I get it but why? Legally I can open carry but the last thing I want is others to know I'm carrying.
The reason we are opposed to gun laws is for 2 reasons.
1) We know that gun laws don't actually prevent crime. If you restrict the rights of people to get guns... then you have disarmed 100% of the honest citizens, and only a partial amount of criminals. Criminals are still bent on obtaining weapons or guns anyway, so gun laws only disarm the honest citizens.
2) It's a slippery slope for sure. (i.e., if the democrats say 10 rounds is reasonable, but 30 rounds or 15 rounds is not... who's to say they won't say 10 rounds is too many after a future shooting?)
The bottom line is this. There should be no restrictions on firearms. There should only be penalties for breaking the law with them.
There should also never be any mandated gun-free zones. This simply invites a potential mass-shooting, because he knows everyone besides him will be disarmed.
For those people in favor of adding new gun laws.... you should consider, you are also removing rights for YOURSELF. You may also be inadvertently opening Pandora's box, with more laws and more government intrusion.
I don't think gun laws would help the US either. Although I do think there should be tighter restrictions in certain areas but it's not like I think they should be banned... far from it. I don't think there should be anything else. There are so many guns in the US now nothing will really make much difference and gun laws are not the answer.
I love the uninformed EU opinion. What areas of the US have the tightest gun laws? Chicago and Washington DC and they are 2 of the DEADLIEST cities for gun violence. The safest areas are those in which private law abiding citizens can carry openly!

I have the same one but in .357 cal. I carry it on my ankle when driving. Has the laser in the grip as well.

I am far from uniformed. Where did I say gun laws would reduce violence? I openly posted gun laws are not the answer and wouldn't work and it's far too late for them. How would gun laws work when you already have approx 300 million guns in the USA. I merely stated I think it is crazy you have young people who can't buy alcohol or cigarettes but can buys guns. Again it's pointless debating this subject on a forum like this as it's ingrained in your culture and I actually think it's a good thing so I am not disagreeing with the law. I think people should carry guns for some of the reasons you highlighed in my quoted post.
