(Colion): “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.”

I was waiting for them to finish. They were using the lane I wanted to use because it had pop up targets out at 50 yards and they had it set up for their class with silhouette targets closer for the class at 3 – 7 – 10 -15 – 25 yards. It was the firing phase of the class so they would be finished with the lane when this was over. The instructor told them to take a short break and he stepped away a short distance talking to the RSO. A guy in the class was talking to a lady who asked another if she should worry a lot about someone attacking her, the guy interjects himself into their conversation and says …”Responsible gun owners don’t go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things, so as long as you don’t be stupid you will be fine.”

Evidently the instructor heard that too. For when he came back to the class he looked at the guy then at the lady then the class and said:

“Responsible gun owners don’t go to stupid places with stupid people and do stupid things, but bad people do go to places where they want to do evil things to people and you have no control over when they choose to do that. So being an uninjured or living responsible gun owner also means being prepared to pull the trigger if necessary when those bad people show up to do evil things.”

The guy who had originally said the line to the lady spoke up and asked a stupid question “So we just shoot them?”

All this had already been covered in the classroom portion, when to shoot, legalities, etc.. I knew that because I had also taken this class at one time in the past.

The instructor answered the guy with “We went over this in class.” and told him to leave, see the lady in the office for a refund. The lady the guy had said this to, when the class continued and the course of fire started and she was up, put 15 rounds in a 6 inch circle center mass, consistently, at 3 – 7 – 10 -15 – 25 yards switching from target to target, then did 3 inch head shot groups on the silhouette targets switching from target to target, then did double taps on each target switching from target to target – and doing tactical reloads when necessary – while moving to engage the targets. I think she got the point and knew what to do.

Two weeks later the constitutional carry (permitless carry) law was signed by the governor, so I imagine that stupid question guy is out there somewhere.
