[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1164815, member: 18"] This is why I hold the position that I do. WE are the minority i.e. those of us who carry guns. We do not constitute a terribly large voting block. Gun OWNERS constitute an enormous voting block, but few of them have carry permits and even fewer intend to open carry. In the higher populated areas I believe the number of soccer moms who are shocked at open carry (but are blissfully ignorant of concealed carry) outnumbers the folks who will open carry. I think many folks who live in rural areas probably discount this factor where open carry would be far less objectionable to the populace and individuals who choose to open carry could have an economic impact on a business. However as our last presidential election showed us, those folks don't constitute very many of the total voting population. I believe this is why our legislators felt perfectly comfortable flip-flopping on this issue, since the folks who want it are loud, but not numerous. I think that a number of companies won't do a thing i.e. Wal-Mart or Starbucks who sensibly choose their policies based on local law. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
