Not even close. This is a completely different animal. Sheople (sheeple?) never even noticed concealed carriers, out of sight out of mind.Glockedandlocked wrote:same thing happened when CC passed, people cried because of 30.06 signs being up, and if they couldn't carry their gun they would do business elsewhere. Same exact arguments.
I predicted this would happen and I regret to see that my fears came to fruition. I have no issue with open carry, but it certainly wasn't worth announcing to the huddled masses that we have weapons to protect ourselves from bad guys.
IMHO, it was much more important to gain access for and lift restrictions for concealed carry than to push for open carry. We now have open carry but can carry fewer places since before 1995.
