The gun haters had exploding heads predicting shoot-outs in the streets and blood running in the gutters when Arizona passed constitutional carry.
Nothing different happened. N O T H I N G. The media had a big build up and had nothing to report.
Same thing when carry in restaurants and bars passed. No predicted wild west shoot outs. Nothing.
Go camping and don't worry about it.
Be vigilant for the ones like the subject of this thread, otherwise carry on.
That isn't quite true. There are plenty of problems emerging from the brave new world of conceal/open carry...

Conceal and open carry isn't as benign as many are erroneously led to believe by lobby groups. I've been a member of the NRA since I was a boy and it was a simple gun/hunting safety group. But that does not mean I think we should not require training and psyc tests for conceal or open carry. It should require as much training as a CDL.
