No person should be allowed to carry a gun without a specific reason; i.e. carrying jewels, carrying money to the bank. Note I am NOT saying we cannot OWN or POSSESS firearms I am just saying no carrying absent good reason.
Remember morons the very people who in the nineteenth century lived in an "open carry" environment were the very people who passed the laws regulating the carrying of firearms. Open carry will take us back to Dodge City 1876.

I don't agree with anything you wrote. If a peerson cannot carry a gun in his vehicle, then he is not safe when confronted with violent force. Maybe a tragedy like the Knoxville Horror could have been prevented if the young victims had been armed.
Who gets to decide what's "good cause"? I carry a gun because I go everywhere with my four-year-old daughter. I am responsible for her protection, and the only way I can be a match for an average-strength man is with a gun. I consider it my God-given responsibility to carry and that it's nobody else's business to tell me I can't.
As, for "Dodge City", that's a myth. "In Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City, and Caldwell, for the years from 1870 to 1885, there were only 45 total homicides. This equates to a rate of approximately 1 murder per 100,000 residents per year." - Source
“I am just saying no carrying absent good reason.”
With all due respect, BS.
An attack on my person can happen at any time, any place...you sure you didn’t forget a sarcasm tag or something because the bulk of your comment sounds like it was lifted straight out of the Brady campaign.
In 1876 Dodge City had one murder. I’ll take open carry any day of the week over what we have now.
