In keeping with my commitment to tone it down comparing OC and signage to Rosa Parks is no where close to the same thing. Skin color vs behavior is not a valid comparison. Not even close.

Re: I now regret that OC passed
Many legislators have said OCT was a hindrance. OC was passed in spite of OCT. There may be one, but I don't know of any legislators saying OCT helped.Les Miles wrote:I really don't understand the hate for OCT. I've also seen people saying OCT wasn't responsible for getting open carry passed. Seems like they were to me. Seems the media thinks so too, seeing as how they keep interviewing CJ Grisham and asking him about it.gljjt wrote:Other states don't have OCT, OCTC...Right2Carry wrote:Other states don't have a problem and I have yet to see a new sign anywhere yet. I am starting to think there are a lot of false reports being generated by those with an agenda. Just my opinion. I still think it's much ado over nothing since it's only 5 days into it.

I don't have regrets about passage, but I DO have major regrets about people who carry and don't care what damage they do to the reputations of all of us. THAT is a huge regret.
