"'It’s official,' Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America jefe Shannon Watts pronounces at huffingtonpost.com, 'the phrase 'open carry' has entered the American lexicon. That’s because gun extremists from Virginia to Washington to Texas and all across the country have started showing up in restaurants, state capitols, and other public places openly carrying loaded semiautomatic rifles. Occasionally donning kilts or gas masks and other attention-getting attire, these extremists look as though they are headed to battle instead of visiting their legislators or picking up milk at their local Kroger grocery store.'

For many decades I was a staunch advocate of open carry for anyone not adjudicated unfit to be armed. But over the past decade or so, as society has changed, I've come to embrace CCW as more practical and effective . But I haven't changed my stance on who may go armed.
There are times/places where open carry is a practical alternative or necessity in order to maintain the security of one's arms and public safety. I won't leave my firearm(s) out of my personal control in any public venue. Period. Nor do I believe any owner should be compelled to do so by any agency or government. Unless that agency/government is going to accept total responsibility for its security and safety. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
