Open Carry

"You're unsnapped, officer."
--Bob Lee Swagger (Shooter)

Carrying firearms is a constitutional right. It is consistent with natural law, as it enables people to protect their person and property from aggression.

However, as this article points out, there are persuasive arguments against 'open carry,' i.e., carrying guns in a manner that other people can readily see them.

Essentially what these arguments boil down to is this: open carry increases risk of harm to people carrying firearms in unconcealed fashion--precisely the opposite of what people trying to protect themselves should want to do.
