[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 1497596, member: 6281"] I heard an interview this morning with Sen. Russell on KTOK at 6:45 talking about the open carry bills. They did not reference which bill they were talking about but I think its SB129 that Russell and Osborn authored. He sounded very optimistic saying that Tibbs was working with them as well as some of the other opponents and they were trying to meet on some terms. He primarily mentioned age limits for open carry and safety training. It sounds like they are wanting to make it 21 years of age (which I disagree with but its a step forward) and requiring some sort of safety class - he likened it to the hunters safety course - and did not mention a registration but you would have a card showing you did pass the training and they would just have a number on file for that card. These are still restrictions and I don't like it as well as constitutional carry but its better than what we have. The training shouldn't be a requirement in my opinion but its not a bad idea at the same time. I operate under the premise that I am responsible with a given right or privilege and I will take the extra steps to make sure I am informed and trained to execute said right or privilege. I like to think that most folks who choose to own a firearm would do the same. I' have been driving for 27 years but I still take a defensive driving class every 2 years, it polishes my tarnished driving habits and makes me a better driver. No one requires that I do this but i do it anyway - plus I get a nice discount on my insurance. The age limit for open carry that he talked about is looking like 21 just because that's the age in which you can legally purchase a gun from a dealer. The radio host mentioned 18 as being old enough to enter the military and fight for our country but of course this is a debate that will never be won i don't think. Sen. Russell basically said that its an ongoing debate about what age is a person a mature adult. I think I was 17 when I bought my first 22 rifle and I and some buddies liked to go out to the river and shoot turtles and plink at soda cans. Was I a "mature person"? With the gun in my possession, absolutely, we all were. Did I do stupid stuff like race my car on Friday nights at the local drag? Absolutely. I was not mature in alot of ways but I was responsible with my gun and new the consequences of irresponsibility with it. [/QUOTE]
