I prefer open carry. Society would be more polite. It would likely deter crime. As evidence I offer police officers who on patrol duty of some sort open carry. And I don't recall reading they get mugged and robbed often.

Of course, have one already and plan to maintain it forever.

It's good to know you have the chance to defend yourself and others if need be.

I would support open carry if Florida ever considers it!

I thought they already did. I remember a news clip where they showed someoby with a piece holstered and talking on the street. It has been a long time. I think it must have been Arizona.

And Florida and every state already has open carry.

We used to...long time ago. You could pretty much have a gun anywhere as long as it was in plain sight.

There are people trying to have it reinstated.

I'd like to see it because it would make things more convenient for me. :)

I said police officers on duty are assulted less than the general population. I am thinking I can prove this quite quickly, if the stats are even kept.

No. Kidding.

As far as open carry is concerned I'm not opposed to it being legal but I also think it's usually idiotic macho posturing intended to goose people. And that's just incredibly lame.

I favor open carry. There would be a lot less rude people. Guns in plain sight do tend to garner respect.

:plain: As much as I support firearms carry in general unfortunately Granite is correct here too many times. I wouldn't say it's "usually" the case but there are alot of them out there.

I also see alot of open carriers carry irresponsibly IMHO. Just recently I saw an open carry protest going on and (of course) the media focused in on one guy who was pushing a baby stroller. (I have no doubt that it was to emotionally tweak all the Liberals who consider it abject horror that a man with a gun would be pushing a stroller.) I, on the other hand, was just irritated that the guy was carrying a 1911 in Condition 1 on his hip...toward the rear...in a belt-slide type holster.

Waaaay unsafe ansd irresponsible IMHO...too easy to snatch...to easy to negligent discharge. :nono:


...Of course...I'm sure there are CCW's who carry irresponsibly also...but I can't see it. ;)
