We’re winning
Heh. National Gun Victims Action Council uses the same argument against open carry that pro-gun people who prefer concealed carry would use.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I always thought it was the other way around. Anti open carry use use anti gun arguments against open carry..

It was part of our master plan all along to trick the anti-gunners into a contradiction, we just couldn’t tell the “rabid” OC proponents lest they tip our hand by not reacting naturally…
😉
I love the “it will just be taken away from you” claim, they can’t actually cite to it happening to a non-LEO more than in the occasional statistically insignificant anecdote when called on it. Had one guy in the newspaper comments up here respond with “but who wants to be that guy?”
I pointed out I wouldn’t want to “be one of the guys” hit by lightning in this country either, and based on the numbers that is probably more likely.
Full disclosure, I retain my philosophical “issue” (not the right word, my feelings aren’t that strong) with OC done -solely and self-consciously overtly- to “send a message”, as opposed to sending a more discreet and less politicized message by simply OC-ing where and when you would anyway as part of your normal day.
If the intent is to try to “normalize” OC, then acting in an -abnormal- fashion for how one would actually do it in the normal course of business (I don’t do anything in public to broadcast being armed, CC or OC, ordinarily) is to me contradictory. Why “march”, why not just “carry?”
Anyway, this is a disagreement that isn’t going to be, nor does it need to be, resolved in comments.

One day these idiots are going to try to prove their claim that “Surprise always beats being armed” and they will find that “surprise” really is harder than they thought.
“But I didn’t get a chance to yell surprise yet” won’t get a bullet out of your belly.
