I see that you are new here and probably wouldn't understand what the current goals are for gun rights and how it relates to the open carry bill.
1st, Many of us concider where we can carry to be more important than how we carry. We want to carry in schools, in our parking lots, and in all the places that LEO's can carry. We meet every 2 years and there is only so much time our legilslators will deal with these bills. Hey, there are times where I would like to be able to open carry, buts lets face it mostly the issue of open carry has little to do with safety, but rather of comfort and vanity of fashion. Allowing campus carry just might save a bunch of lives someday. We've been waiting a long time for this one, We got our Governor in agreement and the time is right. While open carry rates as nice to have, many of us see it as secondary to removing restrictions on where we can carry. Once our goal where we can carry is resolved we can focus on how we can carry , and even on removing licensing requirements.
