re: Ok, i've got a question for you "open carry" guys.

In the state of Louisiana, you do not have to be "licensed or approved" to openly carry a loaded pistol. In Louisiana, to openly carry a loaded gun, you need only a pulse. No training, no nothing.

..and that's why I previously stated that I wouldn't object to tightening the open carry laws in some places.

"And who carries around "plenty of possesions and money"? Cell phones are often secured and useless to a thief. I can't tell if someone is wearing a rolex or not unless i ask them to show it to me. And if people carry cash at all nowadays, it's usually less than 50 dollars."

Are you kidding me? I have a cousin who was accosted in the parking lot of a mall in Mountain Brook(elite B'ham suburb) last year. Her purse along with all her jewelry (including a 3 carat wedding ring!) was taken from her and she was knocked unconscious. The police told her that the intercity-B'ham thugs were going into the elite suburbs now because that's where the money was! Go sell your theory to her!
