I wonder how they landed on the age (18 yo). I'm not too crazy about that.
PS there is a good thread on "another forum" that is too lengthy to copy. My friend Brian (Veggie Meat) is following all of the open carry bills (yes there is more than one) He knows what all of the lingo means and can interpret it for us dummies.
The thread might be called "Open Carry?"

Burk,
Let not your heart be troubled. I get where you're coming from and I hesitated too but consider this: Colorado has been allowing concealed carry in vehicles by 18 year-olds for a long time now. Unless I'm mistaken, the gun crime rate went up in CO due to that at about the same rate as it did in OK when CC was passed here.
I know the two aren't precisely the same but I'm just putting that out there for consideration and debate. Oh, you'll get some dim bulbs carrying openly who are 18 or 19 years old but you'll get some 40-somethings with shallow brain pans, too. Of course, that may not have been your concern as was my speculation.
The gun crime rate went up or did you mean down???
Ok, gotcha. That makes sense.I think he meant the crime rate went up in CO the same as it did in OK when CC was passed......none.
And Sue Tibbs was a "yea". Go figure? What other bills still have a shot? What can we ammend or tack on to some others.
Three of the 'Nay' votes were Republicans:
Cox, Joyner & Ownbey
What difference does that really make?
