1.) More often than not the would-be victim of police brutality will be armed under these circumstances. Police are absolutely more considerate and careful when dealing with someone who is armed and who can defend themselves. This is the way all bullies behave. They prey on the weak, and in an environment of open carry there are simply fewer of the weak to prey on.

2.)2.) Under massive open carry it is more likely that members of the public, who may be witnesses to police brutality, will be armed. A cop who is doing something that is clearly wrong and excessively violent and is surrounded by a crowd of increasingly angry people who are all armed is likely to stop what he or she is doing. And if necessary the members of the public can stop the police officer from continuing their brutality and save the would-be victim’s life.

Won't work for black people. Oddly enough this would have and actually did do us more good during the Civil Rights Movement. Not all segments were about turn the other cheek. And defending yourself in a smart way didn't end up with a bunch of people iced by trigger happy bigots. But it's a different time. Add that to the fact that the media has turned many folks against guns and many folks(with no clue what it entails btw) associate open carry with the Wild Wild West.

Cop: Your honor, he had a gun and fit the description of a local armed robbery. I asked for ID and he refused to comply by reaching for his pocket.

Witness: :dahell: He said okay and reached for his wallet.

Cop: Excuse me. He reached for his hip, his gun was on his hip. I made a judgment call in a dangerous part of town :manny: I have no regrets.

Judge: :ehh:
