On my side of the fence, I'm happy and optimistic about open carry being legal.
I've got, like, 30 states that have legalized it after once banning it that have nothing really bad to report on my side too.
Harvey expresses worry that someone will open up on a special needs kid for being curious about an openly carried firearm.
I don't see that happening, but... It's something to be aware of.
Something I had not been considering, to be honest.
Neither of us plans on carrying open, but it's nice to not have to worry so hard about accidental exposure.
I did catch her quoting some of our fellow special needs parents on stuff that just isn't so.
I was a little surprised that many of our fellow parents are so lefty and anti-gun.
Toed the Florida Sheriff's Association line about how this will just make things easier for gang bangers to do crime. The reasoning there has always been specious. They don't like losing their fishing license, and let's be honest: They weren't doing a great job stopping gang bangers from doing crime with that line of harassment available.
Yeah, I am now actively avoiding certain sections of my neighborhood because of Bureau of Land Management signs over the last 5 years. If'n you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteLooks like open carry is again constitutional in FL. Enjoy it. We in MI are hemmed on all sides, even my fucking township puts restrictions on weapons use and display (oh yeah, an airgun to control rodents is a "firearm"), let alone our communist governor and her sycophant AG and SOS.
ReplyDeleteOpen carry has been legal here in Texas for a while. As you say, it has largely been a non-issue. It's rare to see and there have been surprisingly few incidents. What I've mostly been surprised about is that for the most part the LE folks have been properly educated about it and I haven't heard of many cases of law abiding open carriers being hassled. That's a good thing.
