Pretty much, I own firearms but they’re kept secured and when I carry I carry on body and concealed. Rather not freak people out by open carrying, personally I’m not a fan of open carry because it seems like a lot of people who do so do it because they want attention.

Well that and if someone has ill intent... shoot the guy advertising he is carrying first.

Exactly, it can make you a target for a variety of reasons. Personally I’d rather not freak people out either, I carry because I’ve seen some horrible shit in this life not because I want to use it or act tough.

Indeed. I've lived in many open carry states and the folks packing in the open may be a deterrent, but if rounds are going down range I would rather have the element of surprise in my toolkit. That and it makes it harder for someone to make up a story of you threatening them with a gun just because they know you have one.
