I agree with y’all; open carry would be so nice.
@me and 429SCJ: I agree and I do carry, but it’s awful hard to jog with a concealed carry, and you can’t open carry here.
I agree shoot back!! This is getting ridiculous! We all need to start carrying guns to protect ourselves against these “thugs” around here. I want to read about thugs getting shot or at least getting what they deserve. I am tired of reading about innocent people being wronged.
Shoot back.
