Have to admit I had a bit of fun with some "home security system" salesmen. I told them," I don't need no stinkin' burglar alarm, I got dogs and guns"

I don’t open carry myself as I think it gives to many advantages to the bad guys but I have no problem with it as if enough people open carried that would definitely deter criminals.

Like I say - responsibility. I offer the "gun nuts" (And I, too, had guns early and later military (brother and father - pushed safety on me) the option of returning to 60's gun laws, which would make ownership easier, but return the need to responsibility. If someone got shot back then, you had better have had a damn good reason - or jail or fine. And there weren't tragic accidents- again, someone got shot, someone got in trouble, even parents who were "grieving." No one likes my offer. It also bans assault rifles.

I'm not anti gun, I'm anti shooting people. How folks don't get that is beyond me - it seems like a clear enough distinction.

I grew up in a household with firearms also, I have to agree currently I do not own one I find I have no use.

The open-carry crap has become a political statement, with the deepest of idiots using it to make their point. Only in ‘America?’
