Gun Control & RKBA

I think that a well disciplined solid citizen Open Caring in a reasonable situation is a good example, and can help teach that OC is not only for extremists and crazies. So many of the largest cities have such draconian anti-gun laws that everyone with a gun is now considered a villain instead of just a citizen.

I grew up around guns and hunting. Guns were just tools, not any big deal. I was taught and knew from the youngest age that they were serious, potentially deadly, and had to be treated with respect. I have several kinds of hammers for different situations and jobs, and I have several kinds of guns, for different types of hunting or target shooting. Again, not any really big deal.

A handful of really bad people, the true villains have mis-used guns, and the reaction is to vilify the guns, and every one of the tens of millions of reasonable gun owners.

Maybe good examples of regular citizens OC in a reasonable situation like hiking in the woods would reduce the unreasonable fear in this situation. Yep, a liberal with a gun....
