Openly carrying a firearm makes no sense, will endanger rather than protect the public and will cause unique problems to law enforcement officers.
For example, an officer observing a person carrying a firearm would have an obligation to have that person produce the permit. One dilemma that would come about is when a second officer observes the same person without the knowledge of the previous inquiry. |

HB 163 red herring - just uninformed on the content of the bill, or deliberate lie? READ the bill. A LEO has no obligation or right to stop an OC'er absent probable cause that a crime is being committed. The probable cause must be developed first.
It's same as a needing a Drivers License to drive. LEO's may not stop motorist willy-nilly just to determine if they possess a Drivers License.

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
