"'It’s official,' Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America jefe Shannon Watts pronounces at huffingtonpost.com, 'the phrase 'open carry' has entered the American lexicon. That’s because gun extremists from Virginia to Washington to Texas and all across the country have started showing up in restaurants, state capitols, and other public places openly carrying loaded semiautomatic rifles. Occasionally donning kilts or gas masks and other attention-getting attire, these extremists look as though they are headed to battle instead of visiting their legislators or picking up milk at their local Kroger grocery store.'

For many decades I was a staunch advocate of open carry for anyone not adjudicated unfit to be armed. But over the past decade or so, as society has changed, I've come to embrace CCW as more practical and effective . But I haven't changed my stance on who may go armed.
There are times/places where open carry is a practical alternative or necessity in order to maintain the security of one's arms and public safety. I won't leave my firearm(s) out of my personal control in any public venue. Period. Nor do I believe any owner should be compelled to do so by any agency or government. Unless that agency/government is going to accept total responsibility for its security and safety. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
