[QUOTE="Daryl Licht, post: 1146720, member: 3330"] Still of the same opinion of this open carry law I've always held. It's become a political peeing contest at this point. I am a true believer that the 2nd amendment guarantees (the Bill of Rights doesn't grant rights, it guarantees them) the ability of law abiding citizens the right to own any personal arm they choose and to have it available for use wherever they may be. Over many decades this right has been eroded. Anyone who cherishes it should continue to work to have it restored. The reality is that it has been chipped at over a period of time and will have to be picked up and reassembled one chip at a time. Nobody likes it, but this is the only way it will happen without the use of violence or a drastic political shift that is unlikely to take place. This open carry law would not restore any rights at all. It would still require the government's blessing to exercise it. In a few months there is an outside chance that we could have a state legislature and a governor willing to move in a better direction. IMO, that direction should be concealed carry without permit requirements. VT, AK, and AZ have these now. OK should be next. [/QUOTE]
