Well, you can't legislate stupid no matter how you try....but I'd like the option of having one on my side if I decided I had a need for it. Like when I was mowing my 2 acres, rare occurance to not come across a snake and most would scurry away unmolested but when it was a moccasin or a rattler it died....had to carry a damn shovel on my mower to do it cause it was not legal for me to be strapping with a cylinder of snake shot that I could have used while sitting on the mower.....no, I had to shut it, get off, un bungie the shovel and go up to it to kill it.....Public Safety my ass.
Oh I'm not saying open carry doesn't have its place.
There are places where I go fishing that I open carry. If I go to the dam at the Ohio river its because of sketchy ass crackheads. If I go to a local creek, its because hogs are becoming a problem around here. And if I go to the range, its because its a public range with no range officer, and I've had multiple people tell me that people will hide in the woods and wait for you to be alone and walk down range, and run out and grab your guns and run off.
But I don't do it at walmart, lol.
