Re: open carry and chl limitation

There are a lot of people out there that I personally would not like to see carrying guns. But, a long time ago, I learned that the only way to protect my rights is to protect the rights of others.

So, since I want to carry weapons anytime I want (with the exception that I do support private property rights), and I want to buy a lot of different weapons that some other people don't like, I support the right of all people to keep and carry any firearms they want.

I also read the Second Amendment to be worded more strongly than any other amendment in the Bill of Rights. It is the only amendment that says it shall not be infringed. Others say that there shall be no law made, or similar less strict wording. And the laws requiring the CHL or training clearly infringe on the right.

So, as a philosophy, I am a believer that any law that requires anything in order to carry is an unconstitutional, and therefore wrong, law.

As a practical matter, I recognize some limitations right now, but this thread was asking about philosophy.
