4. But what if you're OC and a flash mob shows up?

I am of course being silly, but doing so to make a point. People move around. I don't see how a law can be realistically implemented based on the fluctuations of population density.

I would consider the open carry of firearms rude. If I carried a gun I would conceal it. But to my mind there is a big difference between a social Faux pas and illegal behavior. If we try to legislate what we see on somebody's belt, we are legislating what they look like and I don't think that will work.

I agree about the need for safety training and background checks. The tactical and legal environment outside the home requires more skill and training. Furthermore, education is good for people.

OC should be generally illegal; CC should be generally legal. krispos42 Sep 2013 #6

I lean toward both being legal rrneck Sep 2013 #8

That's certainly an option; it's just not my opinion. krispos42 Sep 2013 #11

I agree. nt rrneck Sep 2013 #12
