"You might think gun owners would say that is a great thing, but those who know guns the best say, "Not so fast."
Gun storeowner and concealed handgun instructor Jerry McCall is opposed to open carry.
He says police, who carry their guns out in the open, use more expensive holsters that secure the gun in three places, making it less likely that a criminal can steal it and use it against them.
But not everyone pays for the better, more expensive holsters, making them and their gun a target to a potential criminal.
"There is that gun sticking out for the whole world to grab, and all it takes is one idiot," McCall said."
This fellow needs the Jim Zumbo treatment. Apparently he has never been to Arizona, where citizens have been carrying openly for years, and it hasn't been a problem. Are we to believe that we Texans are somehow inferior to Arizonans when it comes to firearms competence? I don't think so.
I must say I'm long out of patience for people in the firearms business speaking out publicly against the Second Amendment, or more freedom for the rest of us (e.g. Jim Zumbo, Joaquin Jackson, Bill Ruger, etc.).
"First they came for the machine guns, and I didn’t speak up because I had no machine guns.
Then they came for the “assault weapons,” and I didn't speak up because I had no assault weapons.
Then they came for the rifles, and I didn't speak up because I had no rifles.
Then they came for the handguns, and I didn't speak up because I had no handguns.
Finally, they came for my double-barreled shotgun, and I only managed to kill two of them. (before they mowed me down with their machine guns, assault weapons, rifles and handguns (while I was trying to reload))."

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek neither your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
