It seems to me we started with the second amendment to the Constitution and since then its just been watered down to fit the needs of the paranoid people in power. But yes I'd like to see this right restored to the people who should have never lost it. Any free man(or woman) should be able to choose his method of carry and if he decides a rifle is the most effective way to defend himself then so be it. Personally I don't think I'd ever do it around a crowd or downtown area but maybe out in the countryside. Should someone have to use their rifle and the bullet passes through a wall and kills an innocent person then he should be held accountable and be aware of that fact before it happens.
So going from open carry to concealed with a permit to open with a permit hmmm I can see how regaining an ability is pretty sneaky.
Now for all the people that say open carry will solve the printing problem... I would like to see one person who has ever gotten a ticket or went to jail because they printed or because they accidentally exposed their holstered weapon.
I truly believe that open carry prevents crime. How many examples can you find from all the other states that allow open carry of people having their guns stolen because they were OCing?

Somebody said something about carrying a rifle a few posts back. I realize that with todays environment it might be too much to ask but I do believe it should be available to a responsible free man(or woman) who feels it is necessary. I personally witnessed people carrying rifles around town in areas where it is now legal to do so and at first it was a bit of a shock, but I never felt unsafe and after the first few times I got used to it. Nobody else around seemed to care it was going on. But if we HAVE TO issue permits to OC a handgun and leave the rifles at home I'm all for it.

anyone seen a the text of the proposal? I have not read it--but I hear it's closer to Consitutional carry than the add-on they tried to pass last year.
Dont let anyone fool ya, fellas... we pay a tax or user fee for a privilege today. If you open carry or not we need to support laws that close the gap between what we have and what the Founding Fathers intended.

There are 3 bills introduced this year dealing with open carry. I just posted the info in the politics section.

I have a fever and the only cure is more open carry. !! No seriously we should have full unrestred gun rights and not have to worrie about if we are breaking the law while taking advantage of our God given rights. IMHO
