    Hey y'all,

    I know this has been up for a vote a few times now and failed. I was just curious to see where y'all stand on the issue.

    5 choices, from most permissive to most restrictive.
    option 4 = HB 700; CHL and level 2 holster

    If you don't have an opinion, then don't vote. Don't come into a thread just to stir the shit up. If you have a reasonable point worth discussing, by all means stay. Otherwise, no one here wants to put up with your troll posts

    Whiskey is not a troll.

    Too bad no one can tell the writers tone.

    I think a holster is a must. I'm not going to open carry a handgun unless I'm going somewhere to shoot. I like the idea that you look just as threatening with a cc as not having a weapon in a cc situation. I feel like it keeps the bad guys not knowing who has the ability to shoot them dead if they slip up.

    I used to be ambivalent on the subject but as our federal government has grown more tyrannical my view on constitutional carry has grown stronger. No permit required and no need to hide it if you don't want.

    I agree GP. That's not to say that I would OC, but I want the option. Except in limited situations, I see no reason to advertise.

    Yup, in general I agree. Most of the time I would not change my current practice of conceal carry but i like the option and the piece of mind should I accidentally reveal. I open carry my .357 mag during hunting season. It is there for varmints or if I have to put down an animal, though I've never had to use it for either reason.

    I'm going with Rachel baby on this: “Here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights.”

    Now, if liberals would just practice what they preach ...

    screw you - if you don't want opinions don't start a thread asking for opinions - and no, I didn't vote because my choice wasn't listed - meantime you know what you can do with your b.s. comment ref my post

    You speak for yourself and no one else.

    Your response here like many of your responses was rude.
