So many San Diegans carry guns
What some folks fail to see is that you CAN'T buy a firearm in California without PROVING that you can handle it safely. You have to perform a demonstration on proper handling before you leave the store with it. On top of that, I hear people talking about "Proper background checks". Duh, you have to be run through DOJ before you can even pick on up. On top of that, you need a BFST cert to buy one as well. That requires being tested on laws regarding firearms, legal ramifications, and safe handling. Personally, my thought is, if you can legally buy a firearm, you should be allowed to legally carry it...concealed or otherwise. The LEGAL firearms owners are some of the most responsible people you will ever meet. It’s those jerks that get them illegally, or in states with more lax requirements to buy, that we have to worry about. Open Carry in San Diego goes beyond doing it "Just because you can". People carry their "pocket dogs" into supermarkets and restaurants without any care as the health issues surrounding animals and food. If you ask that person to remove their animal, they scream to high holy heaven. You ask a man wearing a gun to leave it outside the premises; chances are far greater that the gun owner will do so without any issue. Carrying a firearm in the open is no different that wearing a gay pride shirt. There are pro's and con's to everything that we do that people consider "different" or "extreme". As a firearms owner, I applaud Nate and his friends for what they are doing. They are exercising their right, and I, for one, intent to support them both through my words and my actions.
