If seeing it bothers them, that’s the point.

The federal appellate courts have recently held California’s restriction on carrying firearms openly is unconstitutional.

Just as quickly as this was decided by the appellate courts…this response appeared.

Here I will dissect an Instagram clip where a female reacts to the ruling. In the process she inadvertently discloses why most people oppose open carry. The answer is: it’s not about crime; it’s not about data; it’s not about the outcome. It’s about how you feel.

She does not say that guns in public make people unsafe. She says that seeing a gun in public makes her uncomfortable.

That distinction is important.

Feeling unsafe and being unsafe are two different things and do not justify the elimination of constitutional rights simply because you feel uneasy at the grocery store.

In this video I discuss:

Why the appellate court used history and tradition (a requirement of the U.S. Supreme Court) in making their decision

How "feeling" is becoming the replacement for fact in gun policy discussions

Why rejecting open carry and accepting concealed carry has no logical basis

How prohibiting various methods of carrying is a method of indirect disarmament

Why every time you use the "it feels like" argument you end with control, not safety.

I do not open carry.
I do not intend to.

Rights do not only exist for what makes me comfortable.

This ruling is significant because it solidifies a fundamental principle:
you cannot abrogate constitutional rights because of your fears, feelings of discomfort or political bias.
