“If the moron politicians hadnt banned open carry it probably would have kept the impetus for a concealed showdown from gaining steam.”
Well it was “very old moron politicians,” because the State banned open carry of hand guns in 1923. It was only in 2012 that they banned open carry of unloaded handguns, and banned the open carry in most places of long guns as well.
At least the A$$holes here in the GOPE have gotten a reprieve since three RAT State Senators have been banned from the Senate for being indicted for crimes. And we are on a run of minorities in that regard. One Black (bribery), One Mexican (not living in his district) and one Chinese (gun running). Thus far only the Black guy has been kicked out of office because his trial is finished, he was found guilty, and he is in the slammer. Hopefully more of them will get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, because it’s the only way to get them out of office.
Sorry, but you are mistaken. Open carry of loaded handguns was banned in 1967, not 1923.
Here is an article about the 1923 law:
