Florida, and other states that have open carry laws, you may want to reconsider this.

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Open carry outside or farm/wild country is the height of stupidity.

If it is the height of stupidity, then you must support that because you are stupid!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You will be approached and questioned by the police. If there was a crime about to occur youre the first target

Not out here in God's country! Maybe in your lib land.

You are right about the first target of course.

I have open carried at my lodge and community in Alaska. i have open carried on my boat.

There are places where it is entirely appropriate. To paint it as a liability based on widespread evidence of disarmament is not accurate.

Alaska is a little different than most urban areas in the lower US. Carjacking may not be widespread, but it is a real threat. Not everyone that carries open here is as familiar or as aware as you are, that's the difference.

The reciprocity laws are very screwy, and they change periodically based on public leaning. Carrying a firearm is not only a right but it is a big responsibility to know the laws if you wish to continue to live your life. Here in VA I can cross a bridge or get in my boat and go 100 yards in the Potomac and I'm in Maryland, one of the worst places to be carrying or even transporting, so I leave it at home. Travelling north is out of the question if you wish to protect yourself. The gun rights "debate" is all you surrender this and nothing in return. If we could accept background checks we should be offered reciprocity, but it is all one way, to deprive you of the ability to self defend. Once you are stripped of the ability to defend yourself, all the other 'rights' you think you have are no longer yours.

Yes. Thats completely separate than the Galleria in Houston.

More likely to need an available firearm in the Galleria these days than bear country Alaska.

So the argument is that a man and a woman who are legally packing a gun and carrying groceries are just asking for it if they are victims of a violent crime? The same faulty thinking is that a woman who is dressed provocatively is just asking to be raped.

 

[the watcher]

You really struggle with logic, don't you? I think most people tell you to lock your front door and not to leave the keys in your car. Like these people 'jugging' people (targeting them at atm machines to rob them), or carjackers it is in your interest to protect yourself. I think you just want to argue, so I don't want to play.

You can be "asking for it" and not really think you are.

It may or may not be addressed. North Carolina Woman's Lawsuit Gives SCOTUS a Chance to Establish National Reciprocity

I'd prefer the court take up a case regarding state bans on 'assault weapons', but reciprocity needs to be addressed as well.
3rd Circuit overturning NJ's AWB will create a split, and that will trigger cert.

So called ARs are legal and protected by the SC Heller ruling. States cant ban them and they cant even define them

The SC needs to hold this directly and with the broadest brush possible for it to have any effect.
