Argument: Concealed carry provokes reactions and hassle

Issue Report: Concealed carry vs open carry gun laws

Support

Paul Hager. “Why I Carry. Concealed versus open carry.” November 19th, 2000: “One reason to carry concealed is that, except for police, it is rather unusual to see someone openly wearing a holster and a sidearm. Most people would prefer not to be hassled by their fellow citizens who are ignorant of the law.”

“Open Carry vs. Concealed Carry.” YouCanCarry.com: “Concealed Carry: This is usually the preferred method mainly becuase people don’t like other people to know that they have a firearm on their person. It draws a lot of attention (both good and bad). A lot of people don’t want to deal with that kind of attention as it may lead you to getting banned from stores, homes, or shunned by people. I personally have a family member that doesn’t like to be in the same house as me when I have a firearm. And since I always have my firearm that makes for some awkward situations.”
