Hello,
I have a few questions about open carry as well as CCW:
1. Would not open carry using the current "legal" method be much more dangerous than open carry with a loaded mag in the gun? Seriously, all it takes is for a couple of core thugs so look at your gun as you walk past them and before you know it you feel a knife pressing into your side and hear a voice next to your ear telling you to pull your gun out and hand it over. This is aside from the additional fact that lets say you are present during a bank robbery, guess who is the first to get shot... that is right you are! Or lets say they do not notice your sidearm, by some miracle... do you think they will not hear your clip sliding in and and the the gun racking a case into the chamber? [BTW, are there any such know cases, of open carry folks being robbed/jacked of their unloaded weapons in public?]
I can understand not keeping a round in the chamber, that makes sense to me (it reduces the chances of accidental firing by a large percentage), but not to keep a mag in the gun, that is not only ludicrous, but it is dangerous! It exposes you to great risk. [personally I plan on keeping an empty clip in the gun, but still that is lame!]
2. Carrying CCW, do you still need to keep the gun empty?
3. Carrying CCW, when in some form of transportation, be it a car, horse, plane, or motorcycle, do you have to put your gun in a "lock box", then when getting out, you get to but it back on after you arrive at your destination.
4. If somebody attempts to grab your unloaded firearm is it (still) legally justified to stick a knife into their throat or chest, (or is the tummy or arm more appropriate or should you just let them take your gun at suck it up as a loss and hope some form of insurance will cover the loss of your personal property)?
5. Does anybody else notice that the only places you are not permitted to carry (regardless if open or CCW) are also where the most violent gun related crimes have occurred, (this is of course assuming you cannot CCW at the places you cant open carry at[?]).
6. Isn't the federal government suppose to protect the peoples rights? By this I mean they have implemented laws that protect ones sexual preference, religion, color, age, etc., because that is their rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, right? This is regardless if they employer is public or private, right? But when it comes to carrying a firearm, which is specifically addressed in the II Amendment, they begin to act retarded, [... the right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!]. Though their excuse is private employers can do as they wish (just as long is it does not have to do with sexual preference, religion, color, age, etc., right?)! In other words, should there not be a law telling private employers that if a customer comes in with a firearm, they can't refuse service or if an employee turns in an application armed with a firearm they have to treat them as any other potential employee?
7. It is not illegal to carry and use handcuffs in accordance with your rights to citizens arrest under PC837, correct?
OK, that is all I can think of for now, TIA.
