    This has been going on for several Administrations already!

    Still, AK-47's and Large Magazines are around because they're available through underground sources.

    So legislate your head off, Joe...this won't stop 'em!

    @Hal Pollner

    Beg to differ.......what you state is true in California (of course), and most East Coast states. The high-capacity magazine ban is in effect in CA, CO, Conn, Hawaii, Maryland, Mass, NJ, NY, and Vermont.

    Curiously, as the country experienced convoluted squirming over concealed carry, only Vermont remained as having NO LEGISLATION in effect regarding CC.

    Just to clarify and add to...

    -Vermont has Constitutional Carry
    --No permit required to buy
    --No permit required to own
    --No permit required to open carry
    --No permit required to conceal carry

    -On average, Vermont has 10 homicides per year, statewide
    --2 are committed with firearms
    --8 are committed via other means

    Maine doesn't require a permit for concealed carry either, or to buy or own a firearm. We also have a very low rate of homicides with a firearm.

    With everybody allowed to carry, there will be extremely few instances of violent disagreement between citizens!

    An Armed Society is a Polite Society;)

    Hal, we agree on most things, but here I have to ask if this is meant to be sarcasm? I consider the open/seal carriage to be a fetish, having nothing to do with safety, and should have psychological attention.
    Having said that I mention that growing up in rural Idaho, I'm quite familiar with guns. I still have the the pump action 22 rifle i got as a present when I was 11 or 12. We hunted deer every fall with a lever action or a bolt action. We didn't have hand guns since, as Dad pointed out, they are for killing people, and since we didn't .....
    Wife and I agree that if we see an open carry in a restaurant or other place of business, we leave quietly.

    So, if an armed cop walks in, you leave??

    Since I do not carry concealed or otherwise, when I see someone with a holstered weapon it doesn’t bother me a bit and even a tad comforting. Matter of fact, it isn’t the guy with the holstered weapon who might try to kill me but just the opposite. That person might make the difference in life and death should someone come in with his weapon in his hand and threatening to use it.

    NY has no open carry,except for police. All carry is concealed and they do mean concealed. People have been busted for letting their jacket fall open or their shirt ride up.
