Did the shooter yell "DRAW HOSS" before he shot the poor soul. After all we have to have some ethics when we shoot our neighbor. Let us see! We can shoot our fellow drivers on the streets whenever they cut us off. A minor accident at the inter section can lead to the famous shoot out known throughout history and myth as "The Gun Fight at Willow and Pine." Some one picks a flower in your yard you of course can defend your property by shooting the poor 70 year old woman who offended the laws against theft. And of course we must not forget we can encourage the drunken screaming and shouting in the neighborhood bar just before "Ole Hoss" says to "One Eyed Charlie" "DRAW you S.O.B.

Open carry at will is a recipe for living in a lunatic asylum with the nuts well armed. No thanks. By extreme demands to carry at will eventually the abuses will become so bad that we will all lose our rights to own and possess firearms.

Once again why did the citizens of 19th century western American towns overwhelmingly forbid the open carrying of firearms within their town limits? Please answer the question.No open carry nut ever does answer my question. The answer is simple The people of those days experienced the fruits of unrestricted open carry and rejected the doctrine.

Ok I’ll give it a shot. They didn’t?

Sure, some towns did. Some didn’t. How was this so called ban on firearms in town limits enforced then?

You keep claiming that. There was no restriction on open carry when I was young in 1968 Kalifornia. This was in Redwood City and neighboring towns. When did those towns repeal the restriction you claim existed?

Also, why do you focus on the shooting of the "texter"? The shooter was carrying concealed which you seem to believe will eliminate such shootings. Or are you in fact against any carry at all?
