I just sent this to my state rep, Doctor Renegar:
Doctor Renegar!
Thanks much for your continued public service, we do appreciate you, and I thought in particular helping Chris Ford get an exception back when he was Sheriff was a super smart move, and we in Latimer County appreciate it.
I'm contacting you about HB1414, the "Open Carry" law.
I urge you to support this law, as there are many situations where open carry is appropriate, prudent and smart.
Carrying unloaded firearms produces its own risks!
Normal day-to-day situations including handling cash on the way to a bank puts normal people including business owners (but sometimes their employees!) in a situation where they are performing the duties of an unpaid, untrained security guard.
Open, visible, and clear carry is a deterrence factor.
We appreciate your service, and we all know you have a lot on your plate!
