Open carry and psychology
HYSTERIA. People are sure spooked of them there totems. And this:
A recent study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology suggests that when people are holding a gun, they’re less capable of evaluating a threat than they would be if they didn’t have a weapon in their own hands.
Reading the study, you find it’s absolute rubbish. Ah, psychology.

As Dirty Harry would say,” A naked man chasing a woman down an alley with a butcher’s knife is not collecting for the Red Cross.”
Something mind boggling logical about that statement.

“when people are holding a gun, they’re less capable of evaluating a threat than they would be if they didn’t have a weapon in their own hands.”
Tell that to a veteran Infantryman.
