Re: Do you support only unlicensed open carry?

I could not support a bill that required a license to open carry.

Unlicensed, untrained people can openly carry loaded long guns. Unlicensed, untrained people can carry concealed handguns in their cars. What compelling state interest would require those very same people to be licensed before they could openly carry a handgun?

If licensed OC passed, I would welcome the progress, but I fear that it would be the ending point, not a waypoint. I can see moving from "no OC" to "unlicensed OC", but I can't see the law moving from "licensed OC" to "unlicensed OC" unless we reached the point of unlicensed concealed carry (which I would also welcome!)
