Anyone in elected office who spends one minute of their time on restricting gun rights or gun carry in any way is cheating the people they work for, their time should be spent on the real problems facing us. Not what might happen. This country is loaded with guns, they are here to stay and no law or restriction will ever change that. It is a waste of time to even talk about it. Move on, What harm is a few guys who want to open carry? If we want to change something lets do away with conceal carry requirements. If you are lawful you carry any way you want until you abuse it. After all if it were not for the 2A you might not enjoy 1A.

Law abiding citizens should be able to carry their firearm any way they wish.  We already have 20,000 gun laws in this country. What good would one more do? We already have laws against murder but that stops no one. The bad guys will do as they wish until they are stopped, and no laws are going to stop them.

We have far worse problems in this state than how a legal lawful person carrys their firearm. Foster kids by the hundreds die while in the states care, a guy kills 46 women and gets  a plea bargin. A guy brags he is going to kill cops to more than six folks and not one calls the police. People stand by while a women is knocked to the ground and kicked and no one steps up to help.  It goes on and on.

I would love to leave my security to the police, but they through no fault of their own are not up to the task.
