I prefer conceal carry, and understand this person’s desire for safety. Not many will approach someone carrying if the weapon is displayed. As long as the weapon is not loaded and remains holstered, I have trouble understanding officials not wishing more people to be seen as having a stake in any attack against fellow Americans, and prepared to defend themselves or their fellow citizens. Apparently Kranish had his own protection in mind. In this day and moment in history, I have no problem with Americans protecting themselves if the need arises. Sometimes law enforcement officers have an over jealous attitude, and sometimes an officer of the law is not available to protect, and defend. Again, as long as the weapon is holstered and not loaded, what harm is there in being prepared? Apparently, in the eyes of many, only the few have the right of self-protection. The judge was correct, but once again another case is in the courts, and in the courts, thing can be made better, remain the same, or made worse. The liberals will go bananas everytime if a person says enough is enough, as appears in this case. After the next election, if those desiring Americans' weapons come into greater power, yes American’s will be less safe. Conceal Carry, I prefer, but I also believe Americans have a God given right of self-protection, and protection of citizens not having giving thought to said protection. When guns are outlawed, only the criminals will have guns, is a statement of fact.

You can carry concealed in RTC Minnesota and Indiana. God help you if you're caught by the cops carrying loaded in transit across IL. Then again, its not the criminals they view as threat to society. Its law-abiding gun owners who don't know the RTC is verboten in the Land Of Lincoln. A few weeks ago in the news, a woman in Chicago was charged with a felony for a RTC gun in her purse, I think. That's how bad it it is there with respect to Second Amendment rights.
