Some folks already do carry. Still sticks in my craw that permission is required in a lot of places(CCW permitting). Other places, TFB you don't get permission. Still looking in the BOR where is says '...upon approval of the local government...' you get to defend yourself. Think the bad guys give two craps about 'permission"?

Brandishing is illegal.

That’s the irony of “No Gun Zones.” Criminals do not obey signs. The NRA should point this out to anti-gun people.

"...sticks in my craw that permission is required..."

You're right - I thought it was called the Second Amendment.

From the article: “The mere brandishing of it before the evildoer is usually enough to incentivize the criminal to stop his activity and to flee the scene.”

I carry and would never “brandish” a weapon of any sort. Before showing my weapon I must feel as though my life or someone else’s life is endangered by another person with a weapon of some sort. All factors must be weighed, such as will pulling a gun start a gun fight in a crowed area where missed shots kill some innocent person?

I will not know what to do until it actually happens, and then that decision will be made. But what I will not do is pull a gun and “brandish” it, it’s just plain dumb.

Our elite, arrogant overlords have the firepower they need. Us peasants out here getting slaughtered in D.C. Divide & Control land...not so much.

Concealed carry currently means visually undetectable.

If the weapon “prints” (shows as a lump under clothes) it is not considered concealed.

If open carry is ok’ed nationwide, then “printing” would not be a problem

I was at the RVA 2A rally on Monday and it was amazing how polite everyone was when all are heavily armed.
