i understand what is being said,but if your gun is open carried and a person is going to just start shooting at every one,guess who he is going to shoot first. yep the one with the gun. plus most people do not use a security holster so mister bad sees you and wacks you in the back of your head and takes your gun.also it's not the gun on your hip that keeps mr bad guy from attacking you,if it did no one would shoot at cops. it's has more to do with how you carry your self. do you look like a easy victim/prey or are you one who walks like i know what is going on about me and maybe not an easy mark as they think.
