I really don't understand why our legislature would spend more than 10minutes discussing Open Carry. I would much rather our legislature focus their energy on expanding the rights of concealed carry licensee's. Let's say that Open Carry does somehow get passed, what really changes? We all pat ourselves on the back for gun rights getting another win. But what REALISTICALLY changes? We win a moral victory, but I gain nothing from a practical perspective. They only difference is I get to advertise that I've got a gun, rather than people being none the wiser.

Personally, I'd rather have my right to conceal carry over rule my employers right to restrict guns in the workplace. Winning an open carry law, but still having to leave my weapon in the car when I go to work is not a win in my eyes. I would rather have the right for college students to concealed carry on campus. These are more important for me than Open Carry. I fear that this discussion of Open Carry is going to cannibalise more practical, and usefull gun rights laws
