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.
Change is sometimes slow. Just as the gun culture has been eroded over the last 50 years, it will take a comparable amount of time to restore things back to the way they should be.
4 million Americans now have concealed carry permits, and the number is growing daily. As more and more people carry concealed, more and more people will also see why it's a good idea not to outlaw open carry.
