    Are you mistaking being armed with open carry?

    if it is illegal then cops could step in at the first sight of a gun.

    Wouldn’t the concealed carrier open fire immediately or even before exposing their weapon? Are we talking about a split-second difference if any?

      Most mass shootings are done with a rifle, which is a bit more difficult to conceal. And yeah if everything goes to plan for the shooter and they keep it concealed then it would only be a matter of seconds, but there’s always a chance that cops, given the opportunity for guns to be something to be on the lookout for, will be able to step in sooner.
