Imagine two identically looking bowls with 100 M&Ms each:
Bowl One has 100 fresh M&Ms reap for picking by anybody.
Bowl 2 has 95 fresh and delicious M&Ms and 5 M&Ms laced with a very fast acting poison but indistinguishable from the rest.
Question: Which bowl will be avoided like the plague?
Another reason why we need BOTH open carry AND Concealed carry.
Concealed carry is the proverbial “Fast acting poison” but open carry is the proverbial blog post reminding all which bowl is which.
Weerd beat me to it.
Imagine a third imagine….a bowl with 90 fresh and delicious, 5 indistinguishable M&Ms with poison and 5 marked with Skull and Cross bones indicating they are poisoned clearly visible.

OK guys. the title is concealed carry not OC. LOL
But to keep you happy, it is a third bowl of M7Ms painted like rat poison pellets. Good enough?
Damn, somebody said OC fans are as bad as Ron Paul Supporters…don’t make me believe that!
Miguel, I believe your example more closely resembles the difference between a gun-free zone, and a zone which respects firearm ownership.
But it is an excellent illustration.
Oh we’ll support any cause that allows us to harass you Miguel
Bowl 2..after all who wants to die if they don’t have to?
Oh and about the Gun Free Zone being a suspension of logic. I look at it this way. To a criminal Gun Free Zone= Target Rich Environment come on ahead we want you to kill us and take us for everything we own.
To the lone lunatic gunman Gun Free Zone= Target Rich Environment..come on ahead dude we want to die.
Crap, I’m a OC AND Ron Paul Supporter!
What does that make me????
@Zermoid Makes you welcome over here anytime… But we will give you an extra dose of wedgies for the heck of it
OC all the way. States with it have “0″ bank robberies. Last year in Wake County, NC, we had 11 in 3 months, all by the same guy!! I don’t support Ron Paul, too cranky. MB or Herman Cain, he doesn’t have that tarnished politician mind set, he says his mind and doesn’t give a crap what others think!! She’s hot!!!
You know what else works?
Banning guns completely.
Please look at per capita gun deaths (or even murders) in the UK compared with the US. Even our cops have specialised gun units but 98% of them have no guns.
and yet we are safer than the US…
odd that.
guns don’t kill people
people with guns kill people.
Even in the US with all your gun crime…..people who own guns are MORE likely to have a family member die from gunfire than people with no guns.
Jon,
I live in Miami. Around 3 am I ran out of cigarettes, hopped in my truck and went to the first available store. I felt safe because crime in the US is going down and I had my gun with me in case a criminal did not get the message.
You know what? It does not work. How’s gun crime up there? Higher than 10 years ago or twenty or even 40. In fact, gun crimes went up after the stupid Dumblane laws passed.
There is a thing called the Internet, we check on you guys.
In the meantime I bet you would have to think twice to go strolling at that same hour around London completely defenseless because even if you dare to do something to avoid an attack, you’d be arrested for defending yourself.
It is too sweet to live in a place where the Nanny State cannot call me a criminal because I chose to exercise my God Given Right to stay alive.
Brits used to have balls, some still do consequences be damned. You ain’t one of them.
