What would the BG's do of they walked into a malll and EVERYONE was openly armed.
Who would they choose to victimize? Yikes, what a terrible choice to have to make...
Here in Michigan according to some.... The BG would just start shooting everyone. Open carriers are the first ones shot. BG's just can't resist.

Off topic:

Already owe someone for bringing Louis L'Amour to my attention. Did a search on Lee Child- Jack Reacher. Looks like I just found some more novels to read. How do / did I miss this stuff.

Thank you for mentioning Lee Child

You bet Thanis! I have really enjoyed every single one of the Reacher novels. There are only 2 that I have not read so far.

Great job Mike, seems to me there is a growing movement of acceptance.

Yes that is the great myth, amazing that in hundreds of years it has never ever happened. Not once. But I have lost count of the times the BG could not resist opening fire on unarmed defenseless victims

Sounds like a good experience indeed. My dad lives in Colorado, when I go to visit him I drive around Illinois. I avoid the state like the plague.

That reminds me of the first time I went to a gun shop after moving to NC from CA. When I said where I had come from, I was told "Welcome to the United States of America"
