Gee what a stupid post, Cops are trained in proper handling of firearms, there is no evidence that some idiot walking into a business with an open carry loaded weapon is no more than some wild west, gun slinging wannabe. You don't like a business banning gun slingers?, go get a concealed permit!

You mean like the DEA agent that had a negligent discharge in a school here in Orlando? Of the Air Marshall that left his gun in a bathroom on a flight? Or the cop that shot himself in the butt the other day?

If they are "trained", many of them are apparently slow learners.

So what? I wish more Americans would openly carry. (I'm also assuming that your arrogrant characterization doesn't apply to cops?)

As for "evidence", there is NONE that states Americans openly carrying cause problems. If this was the case, then Vermont would have the highest crime rate, since anyone can carry openly or concealed there without a "permit".

In Virginia, you can't "legally" carry concealed in a restuarant. Which is many Virginians openly carry there, since it's not illegal.

SOME are.

And those with CPLS are oftentimes better trained.
