Even More Open Carry
I don’t think anyone can accuse Joe Huffman of a lack of thoroughness. RTWT, but the money quote for me is here:
Ultimately we want carry of all types completely legal and a non-issue in all jurisdictions. As long as it is done safely it should be a personal choice. I don’t know of any gun rights activists who disagrees with that goal. It’s simply a question of how or if we can get to that point.
We can attack the problem in a brute force manner or with a more sophisticated approach that arrives at the solution quicker and with less expenditure of resources. Let’s not be so stupid as to think the same solution is appropriate for every situation.
This is certainly true. I advocate open carry because I think it’s a good way to show folks that normal people carry guns. It can be a conversation starter. As Alan pointed out in Joe’s comments, it’s comfortable in the desert heat when covering clothes are not practical. If your state is at a point where it’s not even in the public mindset that normal people own guns, you might be skipping a step.
