Interpreted the way the founders intended it, I believe, we have the right to "keep, and bear" arms. Thats not just have them, but carry them. There should be no need to have this conversation on line. If our law makers were doing their job, it would just be a matter of personal choice whether to carry, and how.
In Georgia, we can carry unconcealed in our car. I also carry a handgun when hunting in a visible holster, and I have no permit. I have met with officers several times (DNR officials), who have not said a word. I do not carry other than that as a rule. If I travel, no matter the state, my gun is in my briefcase, and my hotel room. I spent some time near Fort Bragg, in a very "shady" area. After the first day, the gun was hidden on my person. I figured at least I might be alive to fight the weapons charge. Thankfully it was not needed, and I'm sure thats always our hope.
I wish we could get enough people together to bring legal action against local and state governments, to make them face this issue and back off the people's rights. However, I know that much public sentiment, and the incoming administration make this probably impossible.
