Debates about "open carry" laws usually revolve around gun owners' rights. The psychological effect of having all those guns around is seldom discussed—which is odd, considering that 50 years of research suggests the mere presence of a firearm tends to bring out people's aggressiveness.
There is now evidence that this dynamic extends to a specific and dangerous scenario: driving an automobile.
In a newly published study, "people drove more aggressively when a gun was present in their car—even though they did not put the gun there," reports a research team led by Brad Bushman of Ohio State University. |

Sounds like some liberal with an agenda published a study based on his prejudices
instead of facts.
When I carry, it only makes me less likely to get into a confrontation. Same with all my friends.
I expect this study will be soundly debunked in time. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
