People can vote to ban open carry any time they feel like it. I just see any real reason for two teens to rub their faces in it and give the people an excuse to even consider it.

If open carry is such a good idea, why aren't more people doing it? Why just two teens in one city?

It is a good idea. More people are doing it. I regularly do it in Arizona, as do numerous others. I have also done it in several other states. You just don’t hear about it because it is not considered newsworthy. My daughter regularily carried her Glock 19 9mm around Yuma, Arizona, when she was 16 years old.

Because monolithic leftist control of the media for decades made us all feel as though we were the only one of our kind left, which sapped us of our will to oppose the leftist juggernaut.

It hasn’t been that long since Limbaugh busted the monopoly, after all, and most of us are still contaminated with leftism to some degree — such as is indicated by the assertion that bearing arms is “rude” — and we are not yet fighting back effectively on a broad front.

The last “peace” demonstration I stumbled on here in Boise, I was the only counterdemonstrator there.
