Thats 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.

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.
