and.......
I heard someone saying they need to do away with open carry because we dont have any training. If there is any anti's reading this, let me tell you a couple things. In KY, to get a concealed license, you watch 7 hrs of video, and shoot 20 rounds at 7 yds. into a circle the size of a 5 gallon bucket. If thats training then its pretty sad. Most leo organizations are only required to qualify with their weapons once a year. Just ONCE. and these guys are out using their weapons on the offensive, pulling them on anyone they deem a threat. Us open carriers pull it when we are being charged with a knife or gun, or we think our life is down right about to end, or that we will get so injured it will cause lifelong problems. As far as training, I would say I get out and shoot atleast 4 times a month, and alot more in the summer. I have read over 40 publications from the best trainers in the world, and I am attending a firearm training institute this spring. I read every gun magazine you could think of, and keep up with every aspect of firearm safety, shoot/no shoot situations, etc. Most of us Open Carriers carry to protect ourselves and our family, and are pretty serious about training. And to exercise a right, that was granted to us by the men who founded this great country, we dont have to have your training if we dont deem it necessary. A firearm takes mostly common sense. The thing between our ears is what makes it safe, or unsafe.
