But let me say that if, then, he was carrying open, that in the mindset of the moment he may well institute a local theater policy not against those who open carry, but also against those who are licensed to carry concealed. In PA, it is a relatively simple thing to do to obtain a CCDW for any PA resident, or for a resident of an adjoining state licensed in his own state. If you decide to open carry, you can expect to be stopped and questioned (harassed) by local police to show that you are not a person prohibited. This kid, whatever his point, is still exhibiting poor judgment in advancing the interests of other carriers.(IMHO)

Well, the government would love you -- they don't have to regulate your freedoms away, you will give them up voluntarily!

And again, he's not a kid. When does he become a young adult, 35?

The government is my government, and it would do a little better if it stopped infringing on my rights. But as it is I have the right to open carry, and would like to see concealed carry without having to pay for it. But denying minors, felons, and mentally unstable segments of the population from purchasing and carrying sidearms without severe penalties does not seem unreasonable.

Your assertion that I would give up my freedoms without a contest is asinine. But if I exercised my freedom to call you an ass to your face, that might cause you to exercise your freedom to punch me in the nose, for which you might voluntarily lose your freedom. You are not making sense. We have governments to do exactly what they are meant to do -- to regulate human behavior.

Did I not already answer this question? He may be legally an adult, but he is not showing mature judgment when he lights a match in an incendiary location with people who have been recently sensitized. That's just dumb. He might be doing this in PA, but he would be in the slammer in NY or IL.

Again, you can have your opinion -- it's a free country.
