Really? I see guys carrying guns in the open all the time refilling ATMs. The people with the money are not so stupid as to leave any doubt that they will fight to prevent the theft of their money. Sounds reasonable to me.

I am on your side, but I don't think it is realistic. Maybe so, but it still seems to me that the law is bass ackwards. It is concealed carry that should be legal for everyone, but open carry that should be restricted.

It is a utopian idea to force people to get used to seeing ordinary people with firearms strapped to their hips all over the place in 2004. Maybe it is worth a try, but this guy says you aren't going to see large numbers of citizens doing this on a regular basis.
