I hate it when the news wants opinions on gun laws.

[QUOTE="cmhbob, post: 1970990, member: 20220"] It's been interesting to watch these discussions. I come from Ohio, where OC was and has been a part of the Constitution since the beginning. Up there, the hodge-podge of reactions in different places (proned out in cities, ignored in small towns) was used to promote concealed carry. OFCC pushed the idea that while yes, the Consitution says we can open carry, there's such a variance in laws that we need a statewide concealed carry law. I think doing it the way Oklahoma is doing it [I]is[/I] a baby step. Look at Arizona, Vermont, Alaska and a few others that don't require a permit to CC at all. They didn't get there overnight, and neither will we. It takes baby steps, and that's really what this is. Maybe in three or four years, the OK gun groups can say, "Hey, this whole open carry thing has turned out to be a non-issue, so let's look at dropping the need for a permit to bear arms." Or maybe they push for a Constitutional Amendment. The upshot is that open carry has been a non-issue in almost every place it's allowed, and the same will hold true here. As for me, the main difference is that I'll switch from using my Smart Carry all the time to using it only for particular occasions, and using my Check 6 more often. I might be in the market for an IWB holster that carries my pro Carry a little lower though. [/QUOTE]
