LA Times: Open Carry Not For California
Posted by FirearmsTruth on June 4, 2010 · 1 Comment
We expect bias in editorials, and that’s par for the course. However, typically when editorials are written that are anti-gun the point is never clear. Case in point, in a Los Angeles Times editorial titled “Open carry: It’s not for California,” the editors offer this point:
“Carrying an unloaded gun isn’t as harmless as open carry advocates like to claim. It only takes a second to slap a clip into an unloaded semiautomatic, and an armed society is not a friendly society; angry disputes can turn deadly when the antagonists are packing heat, and untrained shooters can miss their targets and hit bystanders.”
Couldn’t it be argued that some people won’t pick a fight with another carrying a gun openly? What if you pick a fight with a person who is packing a concealed weapon (legally or illegally)? Couldn’t that end tragically as well?
