re: #12 Political Atheist

As per my #4 I agree with you on the dagger aimed at open carry. Rather than a leap of logic I saw a choice made. Between setting up an open carry situation as a sudden surprise to law enforcement and society, and concealed carry as a surprise. The gap in the “leap” is there IMHO in part because we waited so long to sort out the 2nd A. That’s pretty new law, as is public SYG. Unstable, unsettled and rightly unsettling in implication.

I think it’s worth nothing SYG applies from the 1880’s as SCOTUS settled law at home, on your land and at your business. They did not say anything like that for out in public.

The notorious public-place SYG cases suggest that a great deal of work is needed in this area to come up with anything remotely acceptable.
