I'm torn. I want to support unlicensed open carry. I just can't make myself commit to it right now.

I feel dirty every time I think that there are people I just don't want having access to guns. I tell myself over and over shall not be infringed! shall not be infringed!, but I still think back to the times I've been to public ranges, and been swept by people not paying attention to where they were pointing their loaded weapons. I think back to the number of Rambo-wannabes and the Gecko45's we've all encountered. Those are the people I'd really feel uncomfortable around if unlicensed OC becomes a reality.

I'm not naive enough to believe that only the responsible gun owners would take advantage of the opportunity. I know there would be droves of irresponsible individuals, and individuals who have never handled any kind of firearm going out to buy a nice shiny new blaster to slap on their hip just because they can.

That said, I still want to support it, but can't right now.
