About this listen

Should you open carry or keep it concealed? In this episode of We Da People, Shelton, Fred, Colin, and Nick break down the real-world pros and cons, the history behind open carry advocacy, and why decorum, training, and context matter more than clout. What we cover: The difference between open carry for advocacy vs everyday self-defense

  • Situational awareness and why visible guns attract attention
  • Historical context from the Black Panthers to modern constitutional carry
  • Social perception around firearms in public spaces with kids and families
  • Gear talk: holsters, retention, appendix carry, belts, and carry position
  • Legal mindset: read the law yourself, avoid brandishing, know your state rules
  • Responsible culture building in the 2A community

Key takeaways

  • Have a clear why for your carry choice
  • Concealed carry preserves surprise and reduces unnecessary attention
  • Class, professionalism, and training should guide how you present yourself
  • Be an advocate without being an agitator
