Goes to show open carrying is fucking garbage really though. Just a walking advertisement for an expensive item to take, what you going to do walk around in firing position all the time? If the other person has their gun pointing at you before you have yours pointing at them it doesn't matter what gun you have or that you have a gun.
All it's doing is making you considerably more likely to die because you're a potential threat to the robber's life.

Counterpoint: What if the gun is something really cool like a big revolver in a big caliber that makes you look like a cowboy or Dirty Harry or something?
You know how Sikhs carry a dagger, and in places where knives are illegal they often carry an ornamental scabbard that just looks like a dagger? We should start a tradition like that for American gun owners.
reminds me of the (unironic) american reaction to a shooting in london a few years ago
guy was parked on the curb, someone walked up, emerged from the crowd on the street, pulled a pistol from his hoodie and immediately shot the guy in the head
cue americans with the "if the guy in the car had a gun, he would have been able to defend himself!"
car guy didn't even know he was in danger til the bullet hit him
Unless this guy shops groceries with one hand he was probably carrying it on his back. When someone draws a gun on you you might as well carry a giant ass dildo on your back. Would help you about a much when getting robbed.

Newsflash - Guns do not protect you from crime and increase the likelihood of you being murdered.
So they're just little portable cops?
"defensive" carry sure is, unless you're part of a security detail or other group and then you're still fucked if somebody gets the drop on you

It’s why most that do it are doing so as a way to feel cool.
Probably in a sling? If you're surprised you can't raise it to shooting position before getting shot.

Yes, but cops might still be like :us-foreign-policy:
Guy from my suburban hometown goes everywhere with 2 deagles strapped to his chest visibly for the world to see. It’s hilarious.
revolvers are cool and deagles are not. sorry i don't make the rules
Aren't Deagles incredibly hard to fire in an emergency, since they are obscenely heavy?
Yea

Americans are born with bullet time so they can sense every bullet coming their way
