Just curious what some of you here would have done.

I am shooting pool and there were 4 or 5 of us around. I didn't really know the guy but we know who each other are. He was printing pretty bad. So much so, I could tell it was a revolver. It didn't bother me but in the times we're in, I'm sure someone could get their panties in a bunch. My question is, do I mention this or not? I didn't say anything and am now wondering if I should have.

I do not care at all but if I was a criminal, I would care. That’s an easy way to get a gun. All it takes is strike to the head with an instrument.

Always wondered how all the gun carrying people handle all of these attacks in Open Carry allowed States.

It doesn’t happen often but it does happen just like actually using the gun doesn’t happen often but it does happen.

Concealed= covered. Makes no difference to me if someone is printing or not.

I was in a bank once and this huge black guy had to be 6’2”-6’3” was at the commercial teller station and he had a pawn shop jacket on. Had his full sized kimber 1911 just hanging out every time he lifted his arm. I had a big shot eating grin on my face. A couple people around me were super nervous you could tell. I smiled at them and gave them a head nod in approval of the armed man. I of course had mine concealed.

Sounds like you did what you should have done... nothing.

Printing isnt "illegal". The amount of people who notice is next to zero.....

Printing this huge issue that many make it out to be

Different animal. Uniform, radio, help on the way, and relentless pursuit by others. Same reason they aren’t robbed for money.

Well, no. They are attacked quite often in the job.

What's the uniform and all that other stuff got to do with open carry?

They carry that way as it's the fastest and most comfortable. A valid reason for any OC.

They open carry because they are in uniform. It would be pretty silly for a police officer or uniformed armed guard handling money to conceal carry.

On the flipside, it would be petty silly for a Federal Air Marshal or an undercover officer to open carry.

But you really know this but argue anyway for the sake of arguing. No one is saying that open carry shouldn’t be a right or should never be done. So arguing idiotic points contributes nothing to this conversation other than bullshitting for the sake of bullshitting.

The fact of the matter is that if I do not know that you are carrying while we are playing pool, I do not know. But if I know, the potential to do something with that information is there. There is no way you can spin that fact.

You are arguing that information can never be used against you.
