    I have a friend who open carries everywhere as well. We do not live in a dangerous area at all and he carries this thing to the grocery store.

    I call it his “big boy gun” because it makes him feel like he’s a big boy now, like a kid who wears his “big boy” pants with no diapers.

      Good! And I hope you never let him hear the end of it. What a poser.

      I had the talk with a friend once who did it, told him I didn’t feel comfortable. We went to a fast food place and told him to look around, people weren’t admiring him, they were afraid of him. Luckily he saw reason and stopped wearing it shortly after.
