I agree that a lot of times I'd rather CC, especially when it gets cold in the winter. My problem is that he was talking about all this training and permitting B.S. and that changes your right into a privilege. I mean, it sounded like he wanted to get rid of OC and only have permitted CC. I also want both! Open carry as a right and concealed carry as a privilege.I think he make great points, and I agree with him about pretty much everything.
I would prefer concealed carry and I think it has advantages over open carry, however, that doesn't mean I want to see open carry go away, our right to open carry must remain! But I do think that the amount of open carry would be reduced with concealed carry.
I know that states which I have the option of concealed or open carry, I carried concealed.
I also want both! Open carry as a right and concealed carry as a privilege.

I would rather see both open can concealed carry as a right.
At the minimum, I would tolerate a NH style license system (regarding fees, and process only) where the permit is valid for life.

CC as a privilege is a Libertarian thing.....whoops, you caught me.
Private property owners have the right to know whether you're armed or not. OC ensures that right to them and CC does not.
If we want others to respect our rights we must respect theirs as well.
Now, CC on your own property, or in your vehicle, definitely a right.
WHAT?I also want both! Open carry as a right and concealed carry as a privilege.

Ok, so comprehension is the problem then, sorry to imply you needed glasses.I read exactly what you said. Neither should be a PRIVILEGE! They are your RIGHT!
In a libertarian world property owners don't have a right to know upfront if you are carrying concealed. They are free to ask you. But forcing OC to "inform" property owners does not make any sense. Leaving the constitution aside, in a liberarian world, CCW is a right because the act of CCW does not infringe or violate someone elses rights.
Before someone brings up the rights of property owners in such a world, it's irrelevant. They could post a sign or whatever, but you would not be obligated to tell them that you are CCW'ing. That's like saying if a property owner does not want people of native american heritage in his store, are you going to give him a blood test to "inform" or "assure" him???? I think not.
If private property owners want to know, they should ask before they allow you onto their property.Jared wrote:Brass Magnet wrote:I also want both! Open carry as a right and concealed carry as a privilege.

Brass, as a Campaign veteran I am disappointed in your ideals that a property owner does not have the right to ask you to un-arm before entering their property.
You are only debating with yourself.I also want both! Open carry as a right and concealed carry as a privilege.
Then maybe I just wasn't clear enough.You comment so much on here you lose track of what you are saying. I suggest you read your own posts.
I quoted exactly what you said.

J.Gleason - I understand where you are going from, I think we would all prefer Alaska/Vermont laws.... HOWEVER, if you haven't notice, it's currently illegal to CC your weapon, I don't care how much you want to say that it's you right, it's against the law. Therefore, if we want to get some part of our right to CC back then we are going to have to try to get a permit system. Is it the best option, no, but it's better than what we got know. If you think that saying, CC without permit or no CC, then we are going to get nothing.Brass, as a Campaign veteran I am disappointed in your ideals that a property owner does not have the right to ask you to un-arm before entering their property. While I would not patronize that property owners business because he fails to recognize our rights I still stand by my original post that said, If you see a sign, leave, If you are asked to leave, leave. It is a matter of principal and a battle we will not win when it comes to property owners.
Again, you bring up CC. This is about our right to carry period!
By no means should you have to register, apply, recieve training, pay a fee or retain a permit to carry a fire arm. It is your constitutional Right and a God given Right at that. Neither OC or CC should ever be a privilege. Once something is granted as a privilege it can be taken away.
