I am 100% in favor of open carry any time, any place, 24/7.

I am also of the personal opinion that every coward should buy a handgun and learn to use it well.

So,u r not only anti gun,but a prohibitionist too..

U r not content to have your ideas & live according to them,
u want to dictate your ideas to other people against their will ...

The whole issue,
like the same sex marriage,marijuana,gambling,prostitution,
is not about guns,it is about rights...

U should fight for rights,regardless of your liking or disliking of the object of those rights...

The persons are the subjects,
the carry,open or concealed ,is the right,
the guns are the objects...

Guns are not dangerous. Guns are tools. People are dangerous, and ignorant people are even more dangerous. Get a clue.

This is a tough one. My biggest worry would be some guy strolling through a store shopping and some nutcase, that had no access to a gun, grab the very visable one while the guy is distracted and starts firing or runs off with it.

There are a couple of guys in my city that walk around with a gun all the time and even the people that are very pro gun do not seem to like it.
