“Open carry gives away a citizen’s greatest tactical advantage, stealth and surprise.”
Concealing one’s weapon as a tactical advantage is an offensive strategy, not a defensive one. The people who say they carry concealed so they can surprise an attacker are misguided. In most cases you will have only seconds to realize what’s happening, make a decision, and react. Consider this: you see a potential encounter coming. Is their intent to victimize you? If you draw your concealed pistol on an innocent person who just wants to ask you directions on how to get back to the interstate, you will likely be arrested and lose your firearm rights. If you wait until there’s an actual threat, you have to decide between complying and trying to draw your hidden pistol, if you think you can.
If you have to surprise someone, you’re already in deep trouble. After you’ve been attacked, surprising your attacker is ridiculous. They already have the upper hand.
“Open carry tips your hand. I want to reveal my gun on my own terms.”
Once you are attacked you are not on your own terms. Can a successful defense be made then? It is possible, but why appear to be defenseless and a soft target in the first place? People who want that “element of surprise” always assume that they will be a bystander instead of the target victim. Your element of surprise doesn’t work when you are the one being attacked for giving the impression that you are an easy target.
Transitions are always the most dangerous part of any journey: the transition from your house to your car, the transition from the store to your car, the transition from your office to your car. If someone is going to attack you, they are most likely to strike when you are between “safe” places. Parking lots and gas stations are two of the most likely places you’ll need your gun, places where you’ll be largely alone and the target of an attack. Chances are high you won’t be getting into a situation on your terms, but on those of your attacker.
If the bad guy is finding out about your gun on your terms, then you’re probably in a situation that would have been better avoided in the first place.
“Open carry sets you up as the first target to be eliminated by bad guys.”
No matter how many times I hear or read this, I am still amazed that people continue to spout this nonsense despite any evidence that it has ever happened. Again, the argument for concealed carry typically hinges on the assumption that the carrier will be a bystander and not the intended target, thus relying on the element of surprise rather than preparing for being surprised yourself.
For those of you who don't think you'd be smoked in 30 seconds, I have a story. In the police academy, they put five of us in a circle around one other recruit and told the one in the middle to get out of the circle. Within 30 seconds, you were breathing like you ran a marathon.
I know there is still cops out there with the old leather holsters and no retention at all. Any one of them that sees this should know, the retention holsters make a huge difference. I teach security and only have a level two with a thumb release. But I have showed it to people and asked them to take the gun out, even when it's not on my hip. And unless you know how it works, it takes everyone a few minutes to figure it out. You would definitely feel someone grab the butt of the gun and start pulling on it and know for sure they're trying to take your gun out. It is truly amazing that someone in a fight for their life could still not fully recognized that they're in a fight for their life. Scary shit
I hate to say it, but it looks like we're not far away from being one of these third world countries. How do you see two cops shot and stand around with your thumb up your ass? Sadly, we've already headed down that road. If we don't change direction very soon, this will be us

These cops got really lucky …props to mom for being a goid citizen.
That's the reason why you put them in cuffs, people keep feeling threatend if a cop puts you in cuffs, this is why.

Pros/Cons of carrying a knife/dagger on your duty belt?
PROPS to the mom!!
Unfortunately This is what’s coming to the United States.
Looked dressed for time in the cooler already
Emergency number in Brazil is 190
Way to go, mom! Get well soon Officers.
Ineptness on the part of a LEO is as disturbing as an abusive LEO.
Unbelievable none of these people will help or atleast ask what they could do to help these officers. Its obvious their in need of help.
Good for mom. You can surely tell she did not raise him that way.
Mom forgot to turn herself in too 😂
