This is the goal. The biggest problem we face in getting there is that too many sheep see armed civilians as the threat to be handled, not the solution to be embraced. I think that within 5 years, we will see either this, or we will see a complete police state. It could go either way.
Serious question time. What is the goal of the OC movement? If the statement you are making is true, don't we stand to loose much more than we can gain?
I just got back from Fort Wayne with my family. Went to Fort Wayne Pediatrics with a sick kid, the pharmacy, Chipotle, and drove through McD's. Armed the whoe time (CC) with not a second glance of course. Heck, I was carrying a Colt 1911 with two spare mags. I did not consider myself under-armed. Nor was I uncomfortable.
I'd say the state of gun rights are pretty darn good right now. With my two licenses (Indiana and Utah) I can carry in most states and do not feel overly bourdoned by gun laws. With the exception of the NFA paperwork crap, I can walk into a gun store and buy whatever I can afford and walk out with it.
So, here in Indiana, what are we really trying to gain? Illinois and Cali I totally understand. Any state that still has some form of an AWB or lack of decent carry laws I also understand. But in Indiana?
