I am permitted to carry openly. And I do, when I feel like
it.

Just going through this thread, Lee, I think we share a lot
of common ground.

For instance, I think we're in agreement that:

What we need is a militia like the Swiss with compulsory
service for all able-bodied men & women ages 20 to 30. No
exemptions for rich kids.

Rep. Charles Rangle also shares that view.

...and...

I think what George Mason and John Adams said about the
militia makes sense, unless every able-bodied person
participates it places a burden on those who volunteer, and
a likelihood they'll be misused by unsympathetic
chickenhawk rich politicians and big business goons.

Careful; you're treading on NRA toes if you're with me on the
above.

...and...

And we should probably do away with dual enlistment. The
National Guard shouldn't be used as full-time military for
more than a few months, it's just wrong for the citizen
soldiers who joined the Guard expecting they'd be mainly a
state militia and only a federal reserve force in dire
emergencies.

Like you, I like to be able to buy a gun that I want. I'll
even go so far as to say I've changed my mind about instant
background checks to purchase firearms, too-- I think
they're a good idea-- although I think it could be done a
bit differently than it is now.

Agreed; we should get background checks on all gun
transactions including sales, gifts and loaners, whether the
transaction is FFL or personal.
