I carry a gun. Inside my waistband and under a shirt like a fucking adult. Open carrying out in the wilderness, for work or on a range is understandable.

Randos carrying in public is pure cringe and is super counterproductive to the goal of practical responsible gun ownership as I see it.

Bold move, given the propensity for guys like this to fly off the handle in a Gay Panic of Self Defense.

I've found the 2nd Amendnent Remedy is mostly about remedying use of the 1st.

I was getting into my car the other day and noticed someone getting out of their car and putting a pistol into their wasteband. Looked like they were going into a Buffalo wild wings or something. Like, are you gonna shoot someone in there or what?

My thing is, you're usually introducing a firearm into a situation where there likely wasn't one previously, and are putting at risk the lives of everyone around you. I own a firearm and I hope every day I never ever have to use it outside of recreation. Most gun owners are exceptionally irresponsible and don't give weapons their due respect, this is half the reason so many people get shot for no reason in the US.
