Here’s why all of us should care:
OPEN CARRY WITHOUT A CPL:
1. Open carry allows 18-20 year old adults to engage in self defense outside the home.
2. Open carry allows those financially unable to pay the $200-$300 cost of obtaining a CPL to engage in self defense outside the home.
3. Open carry allows those who don’t meet the long list of disqualifiers for a CPL to engage in self defense outside the home.
4. Open carry doesn’t require permission from the state in the form of a license to engage in self defense outside the home.
OPEN CARRY WITH A CPL:
1. Open carry is simply a more comfortable form of carry for some people, especially those using an OWB holster, those carrying a larger handgun or long gun, and during the warmer months.
2. Open carry may provide a tactical advantage for some people due to body types or physical limitations allowing for a faster draw.
3. Michigan’s convoluted firearms laws allow open carry in some places where concealed carry is banned.
4. Open carry has a social element that concealed carry lacks encouraging conversations and education about legal gun ownership.
Ceding liberties because they don’t apply to you is not in the best interest of liberty.
