In my city? Way less safe. Cause they're usually also drunk and depressed.

I feel safe knowing that if there is a mass shooting, I won't be the first one getting shot

Thankfully I live in a country with sensible gun control and we don't have laws as fucking stupid as open carry.

To answer the question, I would absolutely not feel safer around people who are itching to shoot something so much they want to open carry.

No, open carrying or not doesn't protect anyone from anyone committed to using them in a mass shooting.

In my country, the only people usually allowed to open carry are police officers, mostly the ones who guard high risk targets such as military bases and government buildings, and sometimes officers responding to reports of violence.

Sometimes the people shot by these officers are dangerous terrorists, but usually they're just drug users behaving erratically or even just skittish members of the public.

So no, they don't make me feel safer.

The only people here that are allowed to legally open carry are the police, so yes.

Hell fucking no. I don't feel safe with anyone carrying a gun, doesn't matter who it you are. You could be a cop, someone in the military, a random joe, if I see you having a gun then I want to get out of your presence asap lol

Also I'm not going to lie, if you're a normal civilian and you have a gun on you in public then I'm just going to assume that you're fucking nuts and that makes me feel even more unsafe around you

If theyre my friend, yeah. Some random stranger? I guess it makes me a bit more nervous than Id be otherwise, but not by a substantial amount unless they are acting erratically or something.

If they are open carrying, you can figure out how to avoid them. The real danger is a concealed carry nutjob cause you wont know they have a gun until it is too late.

It's not a thing here and I'm glad for that.

I assume that most people who open carry guns are just insecure man-children who watch too much Fox News and are terrified of the world around them.

In the city, hell no. I've seen how randoms shoot at the range.

In the country? Neutral, at least they probably practice a little bit.

No, but in the sense that I don't really feel differently at all.

Really depends if they know how to shoot in a heated situation. I read a story of someone with a gun trying to stop a carjacking but ended up shooting the victim in the back of the head instead (they survived but damn).

Plus that dude collected all his shell casings and ran like a bitch when he fucked up.

Why would I be scared of someone open carrying? First, they had to pass federal background check to buy that gun. Then, they researched gun laws to be able to understand that open carry is legal in their jurisdiction. Finally, they aren't trying to sneak a weapon onto a plane or anything. They're just exercising their second amendment right to personal defense.

"It depends" is the most bullshit cop-out answer ever. You don't deserve an "it depends" option.

Spending most of my life in Washington state, I never saw anyone open carry until I moved to Alaska. One day I was at a grocery store and a guy had a pistol on his hip. It really made me nervous and unnerved me

Maybe you should have struck up a conversation and realized he was just a normal man at the grocery store and not a robber.

I'm very shy and I don't talk to random people. But I think I am against open carry. If they have to have a gun, at least keep it concealed. It can cause panic

Uh...no. I'm Canadian though so I never really grew up around that stuff so it'd be extra weird for me. I think a dude just whipping his ROD out on the table would be less disturbing for me imo.
