I seem to remember that the 2nd Amendment reads somewhat along the lines of, "to keep and bear" arms. That would kinda include the right to carry, wouldn't ya think? K.

Open carry makes you potentially a walking gun store with a "Free Special" today, or if the guys who want to rob you are already armed then the sign on your back reads, "shoot me first." K.

Ture. I just recall from my high school days (oh so many eons ago) when the guys would drive to school with rifles on the racks, ready to go hunting for the weekend as soon as classes were out on friday afternoon. I miss those days. Maybe its the innocence that seemed to have come along with it that i miss.

We had hunter safety courses taught in our school, and we weren't allowed to leave our guns in the lockers. So we had to leave them in the car or carry them to class, and some kids carried them because they didn't have time to go out to the parking lot and get them between classes. We felt perfectly safe leaving our rifles in the gun racks out in our cars all day, because we knew the school security guards would make sure nobody stole our guns. Can you imagine that today?

I forgot, they did that fairly recently so we won't have any accurate figures to look at for a while yet.
