I obviously live in a bubble and Im gonna use this thread to voice how living in my bubble is making me ignorant to whats going on out there.
Open Carry
I was randomly watching YouTube videos and I stumbled across one about open carry which I assumed was about some open container issue with cops or something. Turns out it was about open carry for firearms which is actually legal in some states like New Mexico, Alabama and apparently like 15 other states.
We are a nation of people with the right to bear arms and personally I have no real problem with that but it would seem that openly carrying firearms would intimidate and make fearful normal everyday honest people and serve as a threat or challenge even to those that walk on the defiant side of things.
Ill admit I have been contemplating obtaining a concealed weapons permit but more for the novelty of having one than anything else. I dont currently have a gun of any kind and while I dont see myself ever actually carrying one or needing one having one on hand in the vehicle isnt entirely a bad thing. However I cant imagine the need to walk into Walmart strapped.
What about law enforcement? In many situations cops are already up against it and more and more people are becoming more and more openly defiant under the guise of civil liberties and constitutional rights, can you imagine cops trying to break-up situations where hordes of people are armed? We are a nation of idiots after all.
