Fair but if you're going to be open carrying firearms, it's best that you acquire them legally or it's one more thing to worry about

Visual identification of legality is tough to do. After that, everything is legal.

If you're a felon and someone who knows that notices you in public with a rifle it would be bad news bears for you.

Honestly at this point what's left to lose? The result is the same, just on a different timescale.

Edit: being a felon isn't the only way to illegally arm yourself.

I mean, I won't encourage people to break or not break the law. Yall do you. But Felon was the example I was speaking of. I'm sure there's others.

Guess what law will be coming soon. You have three guess but most will get it in one.

More racist gun control?

Mandatory face tattoos and brandings to identify felons of color in public?
