I shudder to think about the fools I encountered on the highway just yesterday being allowed to openly carry. They are combinations of nuts, stupid, menacing and reckless. All of these things and given the right to carry a gun without any conditions is just terrifying.

Your fears would have more weight if there were any data to bolster them.

Open carry has been a right people have had for hundreds of years. No one had to give it too them. That right has been honored in 60% of the states for most of our history.

If your fears were well founded, there should be plenty of blood by now.

Yet open carry incidents that involve bloodshed are exceedingly rare.

Your FR page reads that you are retired at the edge of the Ozarks.

Every state around you has some form of open carry already.
If it hasn’t been a problem before, it won’t be a problem now.

Those of us who carry a gun every day have this amazing skill of losing our egos. We tend not to, “Skin that smokewagon,” over parking spaces -like so many hoplophobes claim we do.

"Given the right?"

You completely misunderstand the fundamental nature of the country you live in. I sentence you to reading the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers.

"Given" my foot. Before this was even a country, my ancestors had the right to keep and bear arms.

Try staying home and avoid it all. You act is if crazy people obey any gun laws.
