I'm torn on the issue. Because I think it's ridiculous to expect everyone to have a ccw in order to have a fire arm. I also don't think there is anything wrong with a person carrying a weapon. Hell the person whose firearm is visible is the last person who will commit some sort of a mass shooting. If you're planning on killing a bunch of people you're going to hide the fire arm until the last minute before the bullets start flying.I'm a big 2A guy..everyone here knows that. But I just can't get behind open carry. Not in todays world where there is a crazy ass lunatic every city block. People are afraid, and having someone walk in with a big pistol on their side scares people even more...there's just no call for it or need for it.
Besides who is the bad guy gonna take out first, the guy sitting in the corner unobtrusively putting ketchup on his fries, or the dipshit who walks in with the 3 pound Colt 45 on his side for everyone to see? I mean, its ridiculous.
But I also look at it and say, what if everyone has a loaded fire arm on themselves and were carrying it around. That sounds like a pretty scary world to me that I wouldn't want. All it would take is for one jumpy as person to shoot a gun off and you'd have some sort of a chain reaction. Of course that's not really a realistic scenario either because most people will never open carry in public even though they have the right to.
