[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3271429, member: 10465"] I do believe in and support the right to open carry. But about the only time I do it, if even then, is directly to and from a gun range. Why? Two main reasons: (1). I prefer to keep my weapon concealed, as I believe it gives me an advantage, should I have need of it. (2). I also believe that in today's world, seeing someone with a firearm, especially an AR/AK or similar, openly displayed in a public setting like a commercial business, store, restaurant, etc. DOES cause fear, and even panic. I don't want to contribute to that; it does neither me nor anyone else any good. Instead, it is counter productive to our cause. I just want to have the means to protect me and mine in the event I have to do so. So, I carry my firearm, every where that I can, concealed from view, but readily at hand. If you want to open carry, well, the law says you can. For now anyway. But for the benefit of both our cause and everyone else, please use good judgement. Intentionally or even unintentionally causing alarm or scaring people is not the way to promote the 2A. I also believe that almost irreparable damage to the law-abiding firearms community has been done by the antics of these so-called 2A auditors. Keep it up, and either the legislature or the voting public will nullify the right to act in such a manner. Just because you can does not mean that you should. Carry your firearm IAW the law. Promote the right to keep and bear arms, but do so in a responsible, civil manner. [/QUOTE]
