Same kind of arguments were trotted out - by the same people - when concealed carry was being debated.
And of course were proven wrong.
Dimocrats in the legislature have really got their knickers in a wad over the fact these bills are going to pass and there’s not a thing they can do to stop them!
I attended a session of the Senate one day last week when Sen. Craig Estes’ open-carry bill was being debated, and it got downright acrimonious in there. Estes kept his cool, and I only realized later is was because he knew his bill was going to pass regardless of what the other side said or did.
And it did, 20 - 11.
Same crap in FLA in (I think) ‘87 when they came up with the common statewide carrry laws. OMG! Bodies everywhere. Tourists will never come here now. Streets will be awash with blood of innocents. Blah, blah, blah.
