Blood in the streets, OK Corral, yadda yadda yadda. Pick your cliche.

However, this young gentlemen proves that to be a lie

Me; "In my case, I carry both here in Israel and Stateside in Connecticut.  Although, admittedly, the style of carry and the weapon selection is vastly different between those two locations."

Herb; "Yeah, I'll say!  You sure don't see kids walking around with automatic weapons in New York!"

Me laughing; "Sure ya do!  They're just breaking the law there.  There's a big difference.

Marge; "No, he means doing it legally!"

Me; "I wish that we did though.  I like the Israeli method better."

Marge; "Really!!  But imagine how much crime there would be!"

Me again laughing hysterically; "Oh yeah!  Take a look around you!  Do you see shootouts and mass murders in the streets?!!  Okay, okay.... aside from the Palestinian terrorists attacks, do you see OK corral shootouts and mass murders in the streets here?!"

Herb; "Well no, but..."

Me interrupting him; "But nothing!  Aside from the terrorist attacks, Israel has essentially NO violent crime!  Our citizen-on-citizen violent crime rate is the lowest in the entire developed world!  Why do you think that is?  It's cause EVERYBODY'S armed!  No criminal in their right mind is going to try to mug or rape a Jew in Israel.  They know that they'll get shot about 50 or 60 times before they can even get going!  Imagine if that was the case in America.  Every law-abiding citizen walked around with a gun.  There would be NO CRIME!!!  Criminals would be scared shitless of doing anything wrong to anyone!"

Emphasis mine. Read the whole thing.

I personally believe that Open Carry should be considered your Constitutional Right and that no state should be able to deny you from doing so. Concealed Carry I'm flexible on although it's a silly argument (criminals will conceal anyway).
