Gresham man robbed of pistol at gunpoint while exercising ‘open carry’ right
I believe that people have the right to openly carry firearms in public. I also believe that people have the right to openly flash fat stacks of $100 bills in public. But in both cases, you’re making yourself a target. So unless you are sufficiently skilled *and* trained to reliably defend yourself in a case like this, where the Bad Guy wanders up to you on the street, engages you in conversation, then pulls out a concealed (and almost certainly illegal) gun, then consider carrying concealed.
