Possible but doubtful... the "Mouse" is against it.
Besides, its still permission slip carry, not Constitutional carry.

Possible...

  Knock an the door may could be opened.
You dont knock, it may not open.....

I would like it to pass.
    If so I could carry outside the waistband, seen or printing like no tomorrow without a care .
An if it would pass I would think more on getting a RIA 45 cal 1911, & attempt toting that. :-)

I'd rather have carry on campus than open carry.

If this passes I will still conceal, not really interested in attracting unwanted attention.

Would like to see it happen. I will still conceal carry but not feel so "secretive" about it at that point.

The reason given for this is so that those with a CWP wouldn't be arrested for brandishing a weapon if someone saw their weapon.  Yes I'd like to see it passed so I wouldn't have to worry about being busted by some zealot with an ax to grind.

Native you are right it isn't Constitutional carry, but it is a step in the right direction, don't you think?

I do.  Why not them? 


Of course........   I work with people that wear western revolvers on their hips while they work their cattle.  These are the same people that come into walmart in nasty dirty jeans and torn shirts.   

They drive old trucks and look almost homeless.   But they are also loyal, steadfast, and patriotic.

Look at old photographs of the pioneers who built this country.  Doesn't take much to imagine them at walmart at 2am.

I like the idea of open carry.  In my head it's a small town where everybody knows each other and a few guys are wearing pistols on their hips.  Maybe uncle Buck has a shotgun in the rack of his pick-up truck.  I'm not so crazy about the reality of being a cop patrolling through the ghetto, and now some shady looking guys are standing on the corner with AK47s.  I'd prefer it be just like for cops... pistols on the hip are OK, but if a long gun is out that's a sign something is seriously wrong.  If I'm honest with myself, that's how I feel.

Those "shady looking guys" in the ghetto are going to have guns, no matter what the law is.  Having them out in the open would help cops to know what they're up against.   

And the law-abiding citizens who happen to live in "the ghetto" should have the same right the rest of us should to show the "shady looking guys" that they're not easy targets.

I don't see how anyone walking around the ghetto, open carrying an AK helps the cops. It just causes problems.  Seriously, I love the idea of everyone having the right to open carry whatever weapon they want.  Like I said, in my Beaver Cleaver imaginary world, it works out great.  I just feel like the reality of how open carry plays out will probably leave me with buyer’s remorse.  It looks like we may find out though.  I really hope I'm wrong about people.  You know how cops get jaded, cynical and all.

45 states already have open carry, it is past time we joined the modern world.
I will most likely not wear one openly, but a 1911 in a belt holster under an untucked shirt works for me.
