Soo… here we go.
I’ll set the stage.
At a very large truck stop in rural America. Road trip home with wife. Get gas. We are going to go inside for the Loo and snacks.
As we walk to the door, man in front of me is open carry. Looks like a Ruger. No retention holster. Loose fit, holster slides around just a tad . Whole set up in plain view. Gent has tucked in shirt. Cheap rig.
Wife looks as me and gives the “he has a gun” whisper. Yep, I say.
She knows I’m carrying conceal.
He goes same area as us. Opens cooler doors for a Coke , leans over to grab a snack, usual gas station stuff.
Well, we get into the check out line and he is in front of me.
Wife says to me quietly, but not quietly enough, “would you carry open?”
Nope, I say. And state so he can hear me.. semi quietly, “honey, Someone could have grabbed that loose gun from the junk holster about 7 times when they were occupied with the coke door, the snickers selection and everything else and used it against him and the patrons”
The old man in line #2 next to me nodded and smiled, and the open carry dude turned around with a dumbfounded look.
Old man on #2 said to him ..” he’s absolutely right, and you would have been my first shot”
There ya have it folks..
If you’re going to carry, even open.
Get proper equipment for gods sake
