Supreme Court To Take Up Right to Carry Firearm Outside Home

[onlinebiker]

Be the laws there - what they are - have no bearing on what they are here in the US.

Personally - I see no merit in open carry.

I tend to think people are more polite when they DON' T know who is packing.

Edit to add

What do you base the statement - that those who carry are a greater risk? Are you including or excluding those who carry illegally?

Either/or. I base it on the assumption that I’m somewhat less likely to be shot by a person who doesn’t have a gun than by one who does.

Boru

So you assume...

Wrongly.

Do the research.

Here in Michigan - you are less likely to be shot by a LEGAL CCW holder than you are by law enforcement.

You are FAR more likely to be shot by someone who isn' t even legally allowed to own firearms and is carrying ILLEGALLY.

If you look at other states you will probably find the same thing .

The simple truth is - those folks that jump through the hoops to LEGALLY carry a concealed handgun just are not the problem....
