Not taken one side or another. I want open carry to be legal but would probably conceal most of the time. I want "constitutional carry" to be legal. Not going to work against anybody's bill that makes our guns rights stronger. Not going to bad mouth them for trying even if they lose. Parking lot, campus, Arizona style, lets get all we can get, and I don't care who writes the bill or who supports it.
Its a lot like church. Two churches with 99% same beliefs have a big skism (sp?) over the last 1%. One side quotes Paul about "disputable matters", the other side gets mad and says its not disputable, it's a basic principal of faith and they both go away mad. No sense in that, keep the big goal in site and cheer anybody who gets closer.
Because it doesn't matter that 99% or so of the ideas are the same. If there is disagreement about what tactics should be used, then in practical application - there is still a BIG rift. If one group, by pushing for OC that will probably only benefit a small portion of the carrying public manages to, yet again, dis-rail progress on campus carry and parking lot language that will benefit a much larger portion of the carrying public, then the net effect is a negative one.
And campus carry has the potential to derive much longer term benefits. Having young minds gaining knowledge and acceptance of the safe exercise of the RKBA right on the bastions of the liberal propaganda institutions could be huge for 2A reforms 10 to 20 years down the road.
