A right not exercised is a right that's lost.... hmmmm
let's consider:
a Kooky family has grown an incredible crop but can't possibly eat all of it before it goes bad. what do they do? find a way to preserve it.
a Kooky guy earns more money than he needs to pay his bills.... what does he do with the excess? saves it for the future.
someone Kooky spends all their life dedicating themselves to learning a martial art and becomes a black belt. Does he wear his belt everywhere to proudly display his title? nope, he keeps it to himself.
the point is that we have many rights as a result of many Kooky peoples' sacrifices.
as long as we resepct and preserve those rights, we will have them.
Flaunting our right to openly carry a firearm is a mixed bag o' 'Kookies'.
sure it can serve to bring awareness to others regarding their right to do the same, (and an armed America is a good America) however it can also serve to bring awareness to those who don't want us to have that right because they are afraid.
If these Kooky individuals realize that it is legal for every Kooky Joe to be carrying a sidearm, they're very likely to find a way to change the law.
without a concealed permit you can't have a loaded firearm in your vehicle.
(except under certain circumstances), so what good is it if everywhere you go,
you have to unload, lock up and put away your firearm, and then have to get it
back out and reload when you reach your destination?
With a CWP, not only can you be armed at all times (with a few exceptions),
but you also will not have tipped your hand in the event that you find yourself in a Kooky situation that would cause you to need your weapon.
A definite tactical advantage.
A Kooky mugger wants your wallet, you reach behind as though you are going to comply... instead of getting your wallet, he gets your .45 staring him inhisKooky face.
Same Kooky mugger sees that you're packing... if you aren't fully aware of your surroundings and don't see him coming up behind you, what will you do if he disarms you, or worse, just puts his own firearm against the back of your head?
In a bank or any other establishment during a hold-up... you're openly carrying, and displaying your rights... you've also just singled yourself out of the crowd, and put on a big Kooky target.
Want to preserve your right to openly carry, and keep it firmly established in our laws?
Don't flaunt it, don't waste it... save it for a time when it might be important.
we live in a shall issue state... if you apply, you shall be given a CWP.
(unless you have something Kooky on your record that would disqualify you, which in most cases would also make it illegal for you to own or posess a firearm in the first place)
Do yourself a favor... spend the $60, get printed, wait about 6 weeks for your little Kooky piece of paper to come in the mail. You'll be glad you did.
