...or laws in general.Now that a concealed-carry law has failed to pass in the state Legislature, it’s time to consider another option: open carry.
If the purpose of such a law is to provide personal protection and deter crime, carrying a gun where everyone can see it is obviously more effective.
Unlike concealed-carry, wearing a weapon in a hip holster sends a clear signal that you are armed and prepared to fight back.
A bad guy will not mistake you for some defenseless victim. And, should he ignore the obvious, the citizen carrying a weapon in the open would be in a better position to use it.

The link did not work for me.
This paper must do things weird. I had to search for the story. I found it and tried to post the link. It also would not work.
The period at the end is required.

For a layman, I found his thoughts to transcend the vast majority of thoughts on this forum who claim another's thoughts can't transcend their own.
Poppycock. If you maintain otherwise, you're an arrogant fool.
Yet some still ascribe to the arrogant fool status, despite their being labeled as such...
A pity. Everyone here knows precisely who they are.
FMs, you'd think they'd have given up the ghost, quit by now, but they keep heaping logical abuse on themselves, in a manner against which there ought to be a law against such self-abasement!
Sadly...
Out. The system's corrupt. The people are corrupt. The former message forum members are corrupt.
I am NOT corrupt. Live is. Far too many folks forget that in the end, it's still about finding the love of one's life, making a baby or two, and securing that dream WHICH is ENTIRELY secureable!
Yes, it's a steep road, but it's doable.
Talk to you soon. Please keep the lines open.
