Among the clinically insane, the โopen carryโ people are some of the worst.
The normal, responsible gun owner who enjoys sport shooting but keeps their gun locked away responsibly and knows you donโt need a mini-arsenal to enjoy guns is a dying breed. However, the development of the paranoid, highly insecure right winger who feels this pressing needs to โproveโ the manliness he is secretly worried he doesnโt have is? Now thatโs a gold mine.
Fun fact: Iโd be more effective with a single shot bolt action rifle from 300 meters than most of them would be with a spray-on-command semi-auto from 100 feet.
Because they donโt actually care about shooting or marksmanship. They care about demonstrating โ ineffectively โ their masculinity.
