Because I'm not afraid to shoot first

Why should I have to pay over $200.00 dollars to get a concealed carry permit? I can carry open free and take it anyplace you can carry concealed.
No back ground check or finger printing.

In Pennsylvania, we are all my stops occurred, you do not have to inform.

Well then I would have hoped you had a little more respect for the constitution that you were sworn to uphold at one time. Apparently, if you disagree with others interpretation and application of it, then you have no respect for it? Also, I must have missed the "screaming in cops faces" part. I didn't see anything but a peaceful demonstration where no one was arrested or cited. Maybe you should go sell dictionaries or something?

I agree, you should not have to do that. In Pennsylvania, the license cost $29 and good for five years. No fingerprinting. But, I see it as an infringement.

So Pleasant Prairie has lots of bad guys ready to get the jump on you to take your gun, instead of taking their gun and just shooting you? It appears you have bad guys that are suicidal in Wisconsin in running up and taking guns from armed people, who you indicate are zombies, and never would recognize a bad guy focused on their weapon.

I have a suggestion, instead of a reason. How about all of us make this President keep his MAGA word and restore to us Constitutional Carry which means you can carry open, concealed or bounce it around in your vehicle without licenses. That solves every problem, except people being idiots and that includes the money grabbers who saw a new way to extort money from people. Why not make cell phones open carry and if you have them concealed, you have to have a license. Lisa Page and Peter Strzok of the FBI got into all kinds of trouble with concealed cell phones.

I paid $20 and yes, it should be free or not need any paperwork.

Delaware is $65 to apply for a CCW which is an infringement because it costs money to exercise a right.

Any person who is able to own a firearm can carry openly without anything! As it should be for everyone including concealed carry.

a right UN-exercised is a right lost!

placating to the anti's wins you nothing.

it is Very important you understand that the open carry movement did more to get you concealed carry in WI than anything else.

making open carry normal lets people realize people do carry guns if every gun is always hidden lets them think CC isn't even done.

We won the CC we got because we created the perfect storm of circumstance , legal cases , law suits , the state was on it's heals and the very low cost , low training , fairly simple CC legislation was how the could feel like the state was still in control.

If you are Pro 1A you don't say hey but you can't Practice your religion that way! As long as no one is getting hurt or their rights violated it is a legitimate exercise of their religion as protected by the First.

If you are really Pro 2A then you can't really attach a dozen criteria to how they practice their Right or you are no different than telling the baptists they are wrong for how they worship , that they aren't doing it right.

as long as it is done safely , no one gets hurt and no one's rights are violated it is a valid exercise of that persons right.

We don't need a permit to carry, open or concealed, here in AK. But if you encounter an LEO, you must inform them you're carrying.

I think we have the right to open carry, I don't do it myself because it gives a tactical advantage to bad guys and is likely to make non-gun-owners nervous. And their nervousness may be remembered at the ballot box, when gun issues are on the table.

How can anybody support the second but think open carry is wrong ? Don't make since .

If you're talking about me, where did I say it's wrong?

Jim

No wasn't referring to you James . I actually some what agreed with what you said .

I don’t think he was referencing you James.

I do disagree that open carry is a “tactical” disadvantage, if it were, why do the police open carry? Because, it is the most efficient way to carry and be able to meet a threat with a defensive weapon, that is why...

Also, I don’t worry about making people nervous, they will see enough people carry and finally understand, maybe, that an inanimate object on someone’s hip is just a tool and nothing more. Maybe, they will decide to also take their safety in their own hands and not rely on the police who are 5-15 minutes away.

We all have different ideas about what the big picture is and how best to serve it. And we are all a blend of wisdom and folly. There isn't a divide, many of us simply disagree on all kinds of stuff. There is no cut and dry answer.

People that display their weapon in stores and restaurants put me on edge and I don’t like it. I think they are all members of numb nuts are us. Out of sight out of mind.

Finster... You don't know me at all and your comments are stupid.

Especially if the weapons are black. Ewwwwwwww! (shudder)

Do the police make you nervous? Do you need a safe space for any other tool in a tool box? Oh, no a wrench!!!!

If a person is open carrying a firearm they are likely a law abiding person who is just carrying a firearm for their protection. Mind your own business and carry how you want and let them carry how they want.

Carry concealed, if it makes you happy....


But, please, everyone carry a firearm. An armed society is a polite society....

No law against being dumb
