I have long been a strong advocate of gun awareness, and believe wholeheartedly guns do not kill people, people kill people. Many people are scared of firearms and the subject often causes an uproar among many for and against the 2nd Amendment.
I grew up around firearms and think a little bit of education is what people need. Do not fear something you do not know. Educate yourself on the laws of firearms and by going to a gun safety class. Education is what many people lack.
If you want to know something go to a firing range and test as many firearms as possible. But before you do that, ask question after question on the firearm. Look in the phone book for a NRA certified instructor that can train and teach you on the proper use and handling of firearms. When you get to the range, do what I said and shoot as many as possible.
I believe firmly in both conceal carry and open carry. However, know the laws of each city and state you want to carry in. If you are in an open carry state, even though you are in the legal rights do not do what this guy did...
He is well within his legal boundaries, but there is also tact involved. Both him and the bearded one did neither in my mind. Everyone should be educated on the laws, but that simply is not always the case. Check this article out about open carry in Virginia. So many different stories that can help educate the individual on gun laws and gun use.
Odd that laws are different for both open carry and conceal carry. For conceal carry you need to get certified thru the state to carry. That is not always the case for open carry.
Either way, if you are for or against firearms, I highly encourage you to educate yourself in every way possible. Your outlook will change the more you know.
It is all very interesting. Exercise your 2nd Amendment right by learning them inside and out.
