Open-carry laws are begining to cause problems in some states.

Gun owners in 38 states are exercising their right to carry unconcealed weapons by holding meet-ups at public restaurants with other gun owners and practicing the open-carry law. The aim of the open carry movement is to convince law officials that many non-gun owners would prefer concealment of these weapons.

    • You can't "practice" a law.
    • It seems like the aim of this movement is actually against this movement. That doesn't make sense to me.

  2. I agree with you, it seems to me, that these gun owners want the right to conceal and carry. They think that if they make the general public feel uncomfortable by seeing the're armed, then it could potentially change the open carry law-so THEY don't have to get uncomfortable looks anymore.
