I'm all in favor of exposed weapons. Let's just go wild west.

Any gun permits only affect law abiding citizens.

So he wants to ban any law abiding citizen from being able to carry a gun? Do I have this correct?

As concealed, yes. Concealed requires you jump through a lot more hoops than an open carry, like fingerprinting and a 2-day course in some states.

Concealed is a great way for a lady to defend herself. Nothing detracts a mugger or rapist more than the thought of hot lead sunk in their body from a cute like pink gun in her purse.

Several states require a permit to carry openly too (GA comes to mind), and some (NY, SC for instance) only allow concealed carry (which requires a permit).

What about rocket launchers, why can't I have one of those? I have to be able to defend myself from armor plated deer.

If your state doesn't ban them you can buy them but they are regulated by the NFA. $200 tax (on every explosive round), registration, required. They come under the "destructive devices" category in the NFA. So a person with the money can have them.

They can easily bring down planes, that's why.

Comparing a .22 or 9mm with only the ability to kill an human perp to a rocket launcher?
