Getting Open Carry legislation introduced ??

[C-dub]

I probably won't step foot on another college campus until the time comes for my nephews, nieces, friends kids, and daughter graduates high school. Most of these are all held on college campuses. It stinks that I must disarm before going in.

I'd be much more supportive of campus carry, which could save lives, over open carry, which most people here have seemed to indicate they support intellectually but won't actually do.

Just my .02 cents. I want both passed, but strongly feel campus carry is FAR more important.

Open carry is about principle, Campus carry is about saving lives.
I'm all for principle, but sometimes practical results are more important. The problem we have getting CHL through is that the CHLers aren't real supportive. They don't really understand the true meaning of bear in the phrase "right to bear arms" , but even the NRA and TSRA don't always seem to get the "infringed" part.

Open carry is about principle,

Same as Rosa Parks.

Not sure how you tied those two together, but Liberty nailed it on the head. Open carry SHOULD be legal, but can you really argue that it will save more lives than Campus Carry would? My feeling is those who would open carry have CHLs and are already carrying. Once again, just my .02 on the matter.

Seems like the Montgomery Bus Boycott was over a matter of principle. Not a matter of life or death.

And like open carry, opponents are denying civil rights because of their own bigotry and intolerance.

We all get to choose our battles, and decide war to spend our energy. Personally I will spend my efforts on other things that are important to me and the ones I love. I also believe people should have the right to run around naked. The fact is I don't want to see people running around with their guns or whatever exposed even if they do have the right. I think I'll save my energys for more important things like preserving the oyster beds, and give my mony to NORMAL where it will do more good, Maybe send a letter to my congressman about truly doing something to protect our children and allowing carry into our schools.

Some people benefit more from campus carry. Some people benefit more from open carry. Some people benefit more from bar carry. Each should spend their effort on things that are important to them and the ones they love.

I can't argue with taking care of yourself but I would suggest that we try to support as many pro-2A initiatives as we can even if the current one isn't our personal favorite. Why? Because when ALL pro-2A people get behind something, it is mighty hard to stop. If you divide us, you can conquer however. Campus carry will FAIL unless more than just those who will directly benefit support it. Same thing for parking lot carry, open carry, .50 BMG bans, shooting range noise restrictions, off limits areas, etc. My motto is that if it is pro-2A, I'm for it. Additional freedom is a blessing in its own right even if I don't enjoy it as much as others.
