[QUOTE="watchcollector1968, post: 1029382, member: 5945"] Destructo...you stated your opinion well and you obviously believe in it and I can respect that. However I do not agree with it. You can put a scenario out there and toss in the "Joe buying his six-pack and cheap smokes" which of course helps the mental image of some beer swilling idiot almost helping provide the weapon for some dirtball. The same strategy of planting a mental image and thinking of "what might happen" has been used by the anti-gunners every time a state has considered a law allowing CCW permits. Its always "there will be gunfights in the streets every time somebody feels slighted"...this will cause people to "create rivers of blood whenever somebody looks at them wrong". You simply need to look at the facts, and not what you "think might happen". Personally I dont think it is the governments place to tell us if we can or cannot carry, and no, I dont think permits should be required. However that is where we are at, and I abide by the law. I dont think I would ever openly carry...you know why? Just because of what you said, I dont want to be the first target of somebody robbing a place...but thats just me and I can play "what if" with myself all I want. If others choose to carry openly, who am I, or who is the government to tell them they cannot? I fully support an individual right to carry openly, be it a pistol on their belt or a rifle slung over their shoulder...I dont think it is a good idea to advertise, but it is about freedom and not what I think. I never thought of one thing, but saw it mentioned above...the cocealed gun being displayed openly because of an accident like slipping and having the shirt come up...you should not be punished for something like that.
