My article did not propose that open carry should be illegal. There are some unusual circumstances where it might be the best choice — and in some rare circumstances, in some states, it may be the only choice that you have. (Wisconsin, for example, completely prohibits concealed carry of handguns, but does allow open carry.) What I did argue is that gun owners should think long and hard about whether it serves our best interests to offend, disturb, or concern people that would prefer that we keep our guns as well hidden as our excretory organs.
Note to the author...
The article published did not actually argue anything. It shows that whatever logic you think you have... is flawed. To think that OC offends someone is presumptuous. That OC disturbs or concerns is redundant, and your gun and 'excretory organ' comparisons are childish.
As you recall, whenever Mr. Spock were to partake in an away mission, he always carried his phaser and a tricorder. It shows incite on his part, and many of us do the same. Except now we carry a voice recorder instead of those dreadfully bulky tricorders.
I do not write for a living, but perhaps you should find another audience to target for exercising their rights that thousands have died for. Let's see... freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion. Why are you not concerning yourself with one of those? I'll tell you why. It's really hard to write and say that our freedom of speech or freedom of the press should be infringed upon. Well that would be silly. You'd be out of a job.
How about convincing
those doorbell ringing, Watchtower leaving, Jehovah's Witness's to
think long and hard about whether it serves our best interests to offend, disturb, or concern people that would prefer that we keep our religious beliefs as well hidden as our excretory organs.
But I guess inciting that type of community would get a little more negative feedback than writing concerning the Open Carry community huh?
A right unexercised is a right lost.
