FINALLY, a top cop with an actual functioning brain who understands the law and grasps the madness of the times and that HONEST citizens have and need the ability to defend themselves.

The biggest problem I see with OPEN CARRY is that if a perp bent on murder spots the open carry citizen FIRST, that citizen will not doubt be his first victim. Of course, the perp just may find himself in a place with MULTIPLE OPEN CARRY folks, most of whom he DIDN’T spot in which case the NEXT few rounds would be headed HIS way.

When I open carry, which is often, my primary purpose is to exercise my Constitutional rights, with a secondary purpose of defense of self and others.

Open carry is as much about defending your rights as defending yourself.
