170. I'm FOR open carry, so everyone can make their own decisions about where they are & what they

Fri Feb 1, 2013, 05:01 PM

are doing, including people who aren't carrying at all.

I don't think I need a gun and I don't like being in situations in which I may be wrong about that and concealed carry prevents my right to make that RESPONSIBLE determination. I could still be wrong, but at least I would have the opportunity to my rights to self-determination if my state were an open carry state.

Hell yes, I'd like for there to be no guns at all, but that is NOT going to happen, THEREFORE, I feel I have a right to know when I'm around guns. Open carriers can assume responsibility for their own behaviors however THEY choose, to shoot or not to shoot. That's THEIR business that has something to do with the fact that they are carrying a gun in the first place. Let them make their decisions and let me make mine. They get their choices whether they are carrying open or concealed. I do not get MY rights to decide something that I don't know, since the information that I would need in order to have my choice in the matter, is concealed from me by concealed carry.

Murder is happening RIGHT NOW, because of concealed carry. Tell the young lady who was blown away in my town lastnight, because of a traffic incident, that concealed carry can't result in murder. At least with open carry there would be fewer people with that opportunity, because what they are doing would be illegal.
