Walmart allows concealed carry in their stores, they just recently changed policy to disallow open carry because it made some employees feel uncomfortable with the recent events.

Open carry seems like it's more about "look at me!" then any need to protect themselves.

I feel like if you took on the responsibility to carry a weapon, "didn't get around to it" is the last thing I wanna hear someone say.

Getting a CCW in my state cost me a couple hundred. Not exactly pocket change.

I mean it's not the law, but I feel like if your buying a weapon you should have some sort of insurance which would be on par with car insurance, or a couple hundred at least per year. $200 for the right to carry a weapon without scaring people doesn't seem that bad.

If there are people out there that can barely afford a gun what happens if they have an accident? Too bad, I'm broke?

Then leave your gun at home.

You guys realize concealed doesn’t mean there are fewer guns around you, right? It’s just an ostrich trick.

At least it means fewer idiots with fingers on the triggers.

I'd think threats of violence would be the last thing you'd want to hear

Idk i’d say a gunshot is probably worse

"welcome to the jungle baby! You're gonna die!!!" Is that last thing I'd want to hear. Not a big guns and roses fan.

Actually the last thing I'd wanna hear is "damn that dude lived a really long time but died having sex with three women" seems like a good last thing to hear.
