Hello ladies and gentlemen after reading the two threads:
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...dment-Returning-Restaurant-Carry-to-HB-17-NOW!
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?112050-Mecklenburg-CCW-Scam-Need-Advice
I saw some constructive criticism coming from both sides and had an idea that may help unite these sides for common gain.
The CCers pay way to much for permission slips to exercise their Second Amendment rights and the OCers in some cases are harassed buy LEOs and other people or are unable to go places where they could go if CCing.
Both sides can gain from coming together to reach our law makers.
Remember this is just an idea. I don't know how well it would work or how the logistics of spreading the idea would work. So here we go!
If one of the best ways to preserve our rights is to get our law makers to act than we need to force them to act. From http://www.wral.com/news/state/page/11228410/ I found that as of July, 2012 about 3% of North Carolina's population had CC permission slips. That comes out to about 279,000 people. If we could get the CCers to OC as often as they felt comfortable. Then people would not only see more gun owners exercising their rights and join but more importantly they may complain! We could then take the stance that if people do not want to see our weapons then it should be free for us to carry concealed. If we take this stance and tell everyone who asks why we are doing this then inevitably word would reach law makers. Imagine their reaction when they start receiving bunches of letters from people asking for action because their feeling are hurt or they feel threatened or any other wacko liberal argument. Obviously this plan has its draw backs a difficulties. However this is just the outline and I hope I will see some good constructive criticism.
If your just going to post that it sounds stupid or dumb please don't waste your time. I'd rather see good ideas for improvement or legitimate reasons why this idea would not work.
