SNIP
Another step to taking away our defenses
Assemblywoman Lori Saldana submitted a bill that would delete the provision to allow open carry of guns in California. All in the fear that law-abiding citizens "might" be shot or were not properly trained to carry a gun, even though California requires a gun safety class before purchasing a gun.
Are we really concerned that those who open-carry a gun are a real threat? It seems to be we would be more concerned with those who are carrying the guns illegally, the ones we can't see. Has anyone ever heard of an issue with someone open-carrying a gun? I think the bad guys would be concerned, since they know that they would be less likely to commit a crime when someone is around who has a gun in the fear that they could be shot.
So once again, we take another right penalizing those who can carry legally and take the defense away from us.
