True that. I’m not really against open carry, but I have two problems with it.

1. Some folks get alarmed and upset by guns. And that will always be the case. So to help keep society calm, I prefer concealed carry. Side note to the FBI snoops: I’m speaking hypothetically here. All my guns were lost in a boating accident years ago.

It’s kinda like with erotic pictures (porno, if you wish). The 1A gives you the right to view it. But you probably shouldn’t pin an erotic picture on your shirt and then go walking around town.

2. I myself am not alarmed or upset by guns. But I live about a quarter mile from a school. If I see a guy with a slung rifle walking towards that school, I’m gonna call the police. If that guy is just carrying his weapon as a 2A right, better he should carry concealed.

See what I mean?

It is closer to Christianity.

Some people get upset with people openly showing they are Christians. They don't like it and say they are intimidated.

If you don't exercise your rights, you lose them.
