In Virginia, you can actually carry a gun open in places you can’t carry a gun concealed - for instance, you can carry a gun open in a bar, but can be arrested if caught carrying it concealed

No, it doesn’t make sense to me

A great many of the gun laws, and the drug laws, do not make sense because they are based on false premises.

Most of the gun laws are based on the premise that if there are less guns in the hands of citizens, there will be less crime. That premise has long ago been shown to be false, but liberals refuse to let go of it.

I believe that most of them think of the State as their god, and to believe that it could be corrupt, incompetent, dangerous, or should be limited in any way, makes them feel very uncomfortable.

In MO, open carry is theoretically legal. Best to have CC though because that prevents any harassment, I’m just sayin.
