I don't understand. I never said the kids couldn't carry openly. I just said it wasn't a good idea.
Honestly...why do you think this? Whether concealed or open carry, the defensive capability is the same.
Open carry, screams...DONT ATTEMPT TO ROB ME....DONT ATTEMPT TO KILL ME OR MY FAMILY....DONT JACK WITH ME!
I get the feeling it would never be a good idea to you for open carry. Your thoughts seem to be along the line of even though it's legal and protected by the state constitution just don't do it. People like robertpaulen don't like it and are scared. The courtesy "door" swings both ways. My thinking is if someone doesn't wish to exercise their rights fine. If I choose to then it is none of their business.
