Tam at the great View From The Porch [1] blog [1] alerted me to a news item from western Oregon: Man practicing open carry law robbed of gun [2]. A few key points: A.) The guy had just bought the gun the day before, so he was obviously not up to speed on situational awareness, and most likely he had little or no formal training. B.) If all 50 states were like Vermont/Alaska/Wyoming/Arizona/Arkansas and recognized the right to “keep and bear” either openly or concealed without a permit, then this probably wouldn’t have happened. (Anti-self defense laws are idiotic, and the rascals who enact them should be turned out of office.) Lastly, C.) When you carry openly, it shouldn’t be a wimpy .380. Carry a real gun, and don’t carry it as a bluff. Be ready, willing, and able to clear leather quickly and press the bang switch, when the time comes.- J.W.R.
