...but is it a good thing?
I ask the question because when it does pass here, it will almost certainly be LICENSED open carry.
A step in the right direction? Yes. But what will this mean for unlicensed long gun carry? Furthermore, if licensed OC passes now, how long will we then have to wait before constitutional carry gains political support? Momentum for gun rights legislation would certainly be lost. Would we be better off holding out and fighting for an Arizona-style deregulation? Or should we just take what we can get in the meantime?
Just some things I've been pondering lately. Questions, comments, concerns, complaints?
