Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't understand what's the big deal about concealed carry of guns. I don't want to show that I have gun. It's just a matter of privacy for me. I don't want to be assaulted from behind by somebody who is trying to steal my gun. Also don't want to look like an idiot who is showing everyone his gun. I don't see what's the difference between open carry and concealed carry in terms of public safety. So why concealed carry is illegal in some states?

I get some of the idea of not letting anyone see that you have a gun on you. But so much of the "advice" around it comes off exactly like the fudds saying that the 2A is for sporting and hunting. Like they're desperate to not offend someone with their firearms. I OC and CC depending on where I'm headed. I started open carrying a lot more when my city tried to force masks.
