Think about this:
It does say in the Constitution that you can "possess and bear firearms"
Some say that means in your home

Texas has the right idea. |

For once, I agree with LJ.
Open Carry is OK. |

Yes you can, but NEVER take it out. |

I'd have to admit I would be freaked out if I saw someone carrying a gun on the street. So concealed carry is the way to go. |

I don't see any use in only allowing concealed carry. |

Most people would freak out at the sight of an openly carried firearm. |

But in a public place it's almost impossible that no one carried a weapon if it is allowed. |

Although you wouldn't see the weapons, it would be almost impossible that no one in the place you are had one. |

But just the sight of one would scare people, because it implies they might use it. That's why concealed carry is best. |

Why would not knowing who is the one who has a weapon be any different? |

As I said, it being in plain sight implies an intention to use it imminently. |

@Warrab
Freaked out?
I lol, because once or twice my dad has Open Carried in public and one time this guy was driving like a jerk so he confronted the guy but the guy sped away, and my dad saw that his gun was out of his shirt. |

Which is good since you don't have much time to react when a criminal attacks you. |

EWM had a good anecdote. The driver of that car thought that his dad would shoot him or at least threaten to. |

You shouldn't confront someone while having a gun at plain sight, but for most of the time you should be allowed to do so. |

I don't think that having guns legalized actually helps limit crime rates... |

Officers should do random checks to make sure people have the weapons licensed. |

I think anyone who supports open carry is over-compensating.
Concealed carry. |
