We were free to carry concealed at far more places before than now.Richbirdhunter wrote:So you guys have no appreciation for this restored freedom? Would you rather the government take it away again for another 125 years? Grapevine mills mall has been posted 30.06 for years and now they aren't posted at all.
Freedom scares people, we have been told it's ok to lose freedom for safety. What freedoms are you willing to give up for safety? We have the patriot act, Obamacare, "common sense" gun laws. All of these things make us safer. Do you feel free?
You have the exact same ability to be safe carrying concealed as openly.
Except that now you can't do either in many places.
So you're not safer at all.
Open carry is not a right. It's a dress code and comfort issue. You were already freely bearing arms before 1 Jan.
You've given up safety for comfort and lost and freedom for all of us.
