[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 978598, member: 10585"] An armed society is a polite society. This will be an interesting battle. There will need to be regulations. Just like the Supreme Court ruled that yelling fire in a crowded theater is not protected by the First Amendment, carrying a Desert Eagle .50 in your waist band might not be such a good idea either. There would need to be some type of licensing for this to be a good thing. For those of you that argue you dont need a license to practice your First Amendment rights you are mostly correct. You do need a permit to assemble. You also need to register to vote. I do realize that most of the people that post on here want a very strict interpretation of the Second Amendment, and I respect that. Something I do like to point out is that at all the gun shows in Oklahoma how many violent crimes are committed? I looked and could only fine one negligent/accidental discharge. That is not a bad record for the ammount of people. You do have to remember that not everyone that would open carry would know how to handle the weapon they carry. [/QUOTE]
