I can just see everybody carrying arms. Remember everybody includes "Ole Hoss" in the bar drunk as hell brandishing his two .44 magnums. He then fires in his alcoholic state and the bullet passes through the bar wall killing ten year old Susie walking by the bar on her way home from school.
Further, in the days of Dodge City there was a greater chance that the people involved in an "Open Carry" situation knew or were at least acquainted with each other. Today is very anonymous and there would be no moderating factor of personal knowledge.(Which did not stop the carnage resulting from "Open Carry."
Well regulated carry, with permits, no guns in bars even if have a permit, guns ok in ones house or place of business. Even to get a permit to carry one must show good cause such as carrying large sums of money, drugs etc. When going hunting or target shooting the gun is placed in the trunk and the ammo in the glove box. All the aforementioned are sane rules.
I'm glad the cops arrested the turkey in the photo. He is an idiot and should not even be allowed to have a gun. Unrestricted carrying is a bad policy.
By the way I have owned guns hunted and gone target shooting since the early 1950's. I support the Second Amendment
What a contorted way to admit you approve of gun control...
Not in a "shall issue" state, which most states are..........I don't think you really know gun laws at all and to say you support the 2nd Amendment is laughable.
More hogwash.....Michigan is an open carry state and there has never been a shooting as a result of our right........
Contrary to your statement, you do NOT support the 2nd Amendment.
You support infringements upon the right of free people to keep and bear arms. You support RULES and MODIFICATIONS to the 2nd Amendment.

Common sense gun control, in other words? You know where you shove that drivel I assume.
Sorry, you’re just another Zumbo-Fudd without a clue on the meaning of “shall not be infringed” while trying to create an excuse for government control over natural rights.
With all due respect, it does not sound like you do so. What part of "shall not be infringed" do you fail to understand? I think you've bought in to the leftist drivel about firearms; the constant repetition may have programmed your thinking.
You don't seem to know what the 2nd Amendment is for.
“Unrestricted carrying is a bad policy.”
Your page doesn’t say in which state you live. Texans with concealed carry permits right now are carrying guns. They could take them out and kill people right now but that doesn’t happen. Open carry means they don’t have to keep them hidden anymore. If you think keeping guns concealed means safety and showing them means people will shoot each other at the drop of a hat, you are not thinking clearly. Perhaps it scares you to see a gun. If you are not from Texas then don’t come here if you don’t want to see a gun.

You do not.
According to you, then, the "right" referred to in the Second Amendment is subject to "sane rules" passed by the government. Is that what you think the Founders meant?
Or were the Founders intentionally trying to deprive the government of the ability to disarm the people, as they did in occupied Boston and attempted to do in Lexington and Concord?
If you and I don't agree on one of your "sane rules", what then? Let the government decide?
I don’t know if “Ole Hoss” in the bar drunk as hell brandishing his two .44 magnums is the only drunk in your post.
And you’ve been on FR for what, 14 years?
Grow up.
