Many people claim it's the Second Amendment. Ok, that's fine. I firmly support the Second Amendment. But....
I know- "but". And I've already noticed a good number of you have a hard time with "but". That is something you need to get over.
Like the right of property owners. I've noticed a number of the Open carry supporters ALSO support ignoring the preferences and rights of property owners. Open carrying on private property against the wishes of the property owners.
So explain to me how you can justify you right to keep and bear arms when you refuse to honor the rights of property owners. This includes commercial property as well.
Perhaps you miss this part, or perhaps you simply do not care. But how can you have more right to safety on your property when you openly endorse other property owners not having the same rights?
You do realize that in today's technology not only do you, supporters of Open Carry have access to this forum, but so does the Brady Bunch....?
So when you talk about how you don't care about property owner's preferences and wishes and you STILL open carry on private property....
They see that.
And it adds more fuel to their fire.
You do realize that, right?
So explain to me how you can justify any kind of carry, open or concealed, when the property owner, no matter if it's residential or commercial, says not to.
I suppose this all depends on how bad the crime is in your area.
Utah is sort of like a Shangri La where everyone drinks the same koolaide and gets along pretty good. Lowest violent crime rate in the Nation.
NYC, LA, Chicago, Miami, Houston, DC, etc are not like that at all.
Most violent crime is economic or drug related. Any location with a poverty or drug issue is going to have violent crime.
That's the difference. You can only philosophize when your own rump is already safe. That's the benefit of Shangri La.
BTW, California is an example of how everyone can lose their CCW and OC rights. It began with Reagan as governor in 1968, and it has culminated now with the present legislature.
