327. "If he responded in a manner

Tue Jul 23, 2013, 04:22 PM

that indicated he was on edge, I would take action."

What action would you take?

I stand by my point. I assume anyone with a gun is dangerous, unless I know them personally, or until I can be assured otherwise, just as I assume every gun is loaded and act accordingly. I'm not going to engage some total stranger with a gun in conversation, for just this reason. While statistically I'm sure the vast majority of open carry encounters don't result in a shootout, all it takes is one gun shot wound to the chest to ruin your whole day. Hence my caution. This isn't prejudice, it's common sense.

You may be so accustomed to the sight of guns carried openly that it doesn't at all faze you, but there are millions of people who aren't, hence this OP and the many responses. I would argue that yours is a false sense of security, which lessons your alertness around guns, which may well end up costing you someday.
