[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2490654, member: 1132"] Here's the comment I posted in the comments section: It sounds like the OpenCarry.org spokesman was intelligent, rational and logical. Based on the statistically insignificant number of incidents involving both open and concealed carry adherents now, it would appear that the author's fears are overblown and out of proportion to reality. I recognize that this is an emotional subject for some, but they should be courteous and recognize that it's a logical and rational subject for others. Carrying a gun is just an insurance policy against victimization. Just like insurance, it may not cover every last permutation of risk, but it's not intended to. It's simply a matter of stacking the odds in one's favor to a greater extent. Finally, it is a matter of self-determination. If you agree that it's a basic human right to determine one's own outcome in life, you should at a minimum, not be opposed to the premise. An honorable and just society would allow one to make choices for themselves and either reap the rewards, or suffer the consequences of those actions equally. Removing responsibility does more to promote irresponsible behavior than holding people accountable. I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this subject. I hope those with a differing opinion will be respectful of my views, as I would be respectful of theirs. [/QUOTE]
