I've went back and forth about this myself. Generally speaking, I live in an open carry state but got my CC license because I'd prefer to not broadcast the fact that I'm armed. Something about not letting your enemies know what your capable of/element of surprise etc. etc. Although I guess in this case it's more about showing tyrants how far you're willing to go. Still, I prefer to conceal. Kinda hard to do w/ a rifle, though haha
