This is the reason I support open carry laws.
I have no desire to carry openly in public but also think a person who is carrying a concealed weapon should not have to worry about accidentally exposing his weapon.
This is the reason I support open carry laws.
Same here for educational purposes.
Over the past 30 years, liberal statists have pretty effectively convinced the population that open carry was illegal when the reality is that only a handful of states ever banned open carry through legislative means.
Michigan Open Carry, Inc.
MOC was formed as a Michigan non-profit organization in March of 2009. MOC was formed out of the Michigan Forum on opencarry.org (OCDO). OCDO was started by John Pierce and Mike Stollenwerk in 2004. These men are responsible for revitalizing the growing practice of the open carry of a handgun. Michigan is one of the fastest growing states in regards to the practice of open carrying a handgun. 44 States allow some type of Open Carry of a handgun. 6 States ban open carry. Most bans were enacted during or after reformation, to bar freed slaves from carrying weapons. Four states have petitions to rescind this ban. The open carry movement is growing in the U.S., much like the Concealed carry movement has in the last 10 years. Time and time again citizens have shown to be responsible when carrying a firearm. Studies by John Lott and Howard Nemerov and others have shown that lawful firearm owners are less likely to commit any kind of crime let alone a violent one.
