"Don't you think it might create a few problems if suddenly we had national laws that ALLOWED EVERYONE the RKBA and wear those arms in public? Don't you think every psycho would go out and buy a holster, and be entitiled to parade around with impunity ,intimidating total strangers with said firearm on public view? "

No. Are you sure you're in the right forum?

Yes, I am sure I am in the right forum. Even if your particular understanding of RKBA is different from mine, and even if a majority agree with your particular slant on it, doesn't mean I should "go away", or search out some "other forum".
The first and only time I saw regular citizens walking around with exposed holsters and firearms was when we moved to Arizona in 1982, and we lived there through most of 1985. And I didn'/t even see it that much in Az. I must admit I found it refreshing. But how do you square the idea of a blanket 100% tolerance of anyone and everyone being allowed to do same? (or don't you?). You wanna talk about gun-grabbing? Here's a new wrinkle on it---assuming they are deft enough, any criminal could reach right over, unsnap the gun right out of the holster of a law-abiding citizen, and then HE'S got the gun, assuming he didn't already have one of his own. Or are you assuming in such a scenario that a hypothetical THIRD person would see this crime taking place,and intervene with HIS gun?? While I do agree with the John Lott equation "more guns, less crime" I can see dozens of scenarios that would be better avoided.
