As Devil’s advocate, does right to carry insure freedom from harassment by zealous law enforcement officers kowtowing to the will of their progressive political masters?

Of course not.

Reality exists.

Criminals can still victimize innocent people.

Right to carry gives citizens another tool to fight against victimization by both official and unofficial criminals.

Some people have sued against the official repression and won.

As more and more people exercise their rights, winning becomes easier, and official victimization becomes harder.

If LE and DOJ actually prosecuted gun crimes the notion of constitutional carry and related 2A issues would be virtually non-existent.

As part of the bill of rights, there should be 100% reciprocity.

I agree. Further, as part of the Bill of Rights, no one should be required to show a permit to carry, anywhere in the United States or territories thereof.

Restrictions on bearing arms should be extremely narrow and obvious to all.

The law is very broad...obviously, you don't want 6 year olds carrying to kindergarten class...or "violent" criminals...

In wartime....on our soil...there are no rules.

Gun violence is a huge problem amongst the underclass in Houston, Orlando, etc. Polk County is only a couple of hours from where I live, and Grady must get up there once a week showing the picture of a soulless underclass who shot up his neighborhood to prove his manhood. It’s happening even in Ft. Pierce, which is just up the road.

I’d like to have at least a fighting chance out there. It’s awkward carrying in South Florida because of printing. My collection of Aloha shirts is steadily growing.

Anyone carrying a 380?

I still do. Sometimes. It depends on the circumstances and where I'll be. But mostly, it's my Ruger 9mm.

Nice!

I’m recently in the green, unrestricted category. But I do travel to states in the blue category, with whom we have reciprocity, so I’ll be renewing my permission slip, which expires in a couple months. I’ve had one for more than 30 years at this point. I’m already on the radar screen, so there’s no avoiding that, and the cost/time is minimal.

"Anyone carrying a 380?"

I carry a Walther PPK/s once a month so it doesn't feel left out in my safe.

Normally I rotate each week from my Sig 229, Sig 226, Sig 220, Sig 239, Sig M-17, and Sig M-18. That way I get a chance to shoot one magazine from each hand gun, every week, stay proficient, and do a routine inspection and cleaning.

,380 ACP has come a long way in availability of ammo types. Do you go for increased expansion from hollow points? Maximum penetration with ball ammo? Heavy clothing shouldn’t be an issue in Florida. I’m curious what you carry.

North and South Carolina and Louisiana need to adopt constitutional carry next.

Florida needs to adopt open carry.

The rest of us just keep it quiet.

Free men don't ask permission.

Nothing is guaranteed, but not being an asshole helps a lot.

This:

might be perfectly legal, but in most Constitutional Carry States, it will probably attract the wrong sort of attention.

I appreciate the sentiment ... and I have carried illegally at times ...

Great picture. In Arizona, people would likely be lining up asking to be photographed with him!
