From the DEC13 CSAT Newsletter:
"I was asked by a reader about my thoughts on open carry. In short I am against it. There is
little need unless you just want to intimidate people. We have enough concealed carry
systems available for both pistols and rifles to make sure you have a rapid access.
As for the Army Sergeant that was recently arrested and convicted for road marching with a
weapon near Ft. Hood, Texas, he was a dumbass.
In my day, if you wanted to road march with a weapon, you could on a military base. It was
considered a form of exercise. This Army dork decided to do it in the civilian community
that was unaccustomed to seeing this and he took his son along to see his bad example. I am
glad the police stopped and confronted him. We need to confront stupid people in our
society and hold them accountable.
If you walk down my neighborhood street with an M4 type rifle across your chest and I don’t
know you, I will confront you with my rifle and if you fail to comply in the least, you will
not survive the encounter.
First, it is not normal. Next, how do I know that you are not going to kill one of my
neighbors? Sometimes individuals in our country go stupid and try and push things too far…"
