If you are the lone open carry in a store that is about to be robbed, you will be the first one they shoot or assault, and your weapon will likely be used against you or others.<br />The time for open carry is in the aftermath of a disaster where groups of citizens who are armed may prove a deterrent to potential looting. It needs to be more than one or two people though.<br />I also view CCLs as a double edged sword. Kansas recently passed Constitutional carry. I'm fine with that. The simple fact though is the folks who go attend a class come out better trained in how to deal with life's curve balls and sliders that the average Joe.<br />When a person has a CCL, I know they have been vetted by law enforcement, trained by professionals, and are investing time and money in their effort to keep their community safe.<br />I would rather have those kind of folks around any day of the month.JeremyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13692050680065474779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-23764382249238109982015-12-20T18:00:38.712-08:002015-12-20T18:00:38.712-08:00Turning the open carry argument into an us vs. the...Turning the open carry argument into an us vs. them debate and demanding tolerance for gun rights does not change reality. Open carry to prove a point is still pointless. The idea of carting a gun is to protect self and family. You need all the tactical advantages you can possibly muster!

So the next day I wore a .45. When they saw it, I reminded them about how they said we need to be more tolerant. So, Paul, do I need treatment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
