215. So, you ask for data
and when some one ask you for it, it is "irrelevent", I'll have to remember that one. Restrictions on open carry do not violate the Constitution. Where has any court ruled that? Just like speech, the 2nd can and does allow reasonable restrictions. You can't carry a gun into a court room in my state. You can't fire a gun within the city limits. You can't buy a gun if you are a felon. You can't point a gun at a cop. There are lots of restrictions and some people are not going to like some of them. But to think the 2nd means anything goes is insane, think again.

You defend open carry as it is the only way to exercise a civi right. If they own a handgun they are doing exactly that. Why not defend wearing a racist tee shirt? Same logic.
