[QUOTE="DestructoJr, post: 1028731, member: 4479"] I really don't think open carry should be legal and I hope it doesn't pass. I just dont see the point of advertising you are armed, and unfortuneatly I think we will see a lot more of the wanna be cops roaming around with little fake badges fighting crime. I am a firm believer in the speak softly and carry a big stick ideology, to me walking around with a gun on your hip for no other reason than to have one just seems silly. Let me continue by saying that I believe in minimal government intrustion and that nobody should tell people whats best for them, however I see the open carry bill having some negative knee jerk reactions that will ulitmately reduce gun carry rights. For example gun carrying joe A walks into a gas station, Bad Guy sees the gun on Joe As hip, while Joe A is buying his 6 pack of keystone and a pack of levi garret bad guy walks up behind Joe A and disarms him by simply removing the weapon from his zero active retention holster that came with the weapon. Bad guy shoots Joe in the back before Joe even knows whats going on and then kills the clerk robs the store and flees the scene. As I see it most crimes are crimes of opportunity and if you look at crime being a triangle (much like the fire triangle heat, fuel, oxygen) You have a (victim, suspect, and opportunity) it seems to give bad guys more opportunity to commit a violent crime with a legal firearm and give the anti-gun campaign more fuel for the fire. Frankly no pun intended the less bullets they have for their argument the better. [/QUOTE]
