Openly Carrying Guns Can Be Unwise, Even When It’s Legal
I would gladly open carry, if given the chance. Also, I wouldn’t care if someone on the Left was offended. But in my state (Illinois), we are not allowed concealed carry.
Recently, I was interrogated on the street by a police officer who was “concerned” about my pouch knife (a folding knife, of legal length, carried in a pouch from the belt). ANYONE can look at me and determine that I am not about to go postal with a pouch knife, especially when I’m with my wife.
I told him, “Get Mayor Daley to stop sending people from the Projects … people who bring their gang-banger kids with them … and I’ll stop carrying my knife.”
I might be tempted to kill to have the right to openly carry …
