npub14m4dc7wacppz7eseg90uvjjdm48t4ukxkv93njam2w7zeprx3xzqlv23su (npub14m4…23su) for sure, because it gives you more of an element of surprise. That said, if some criminals roll up to a 7-11 and see a guy with a visible gun inside the store, they're just going to back out and not rob the store, lol.

The commonly heard argument that "the baddies will just shoot the guy with the gun" is silly IMO. The instances in which an armed security guard is preemptively shot is super low. In that kind of situation, if I'm CCW I'm laying low anyway so /shrug.
