People will exercise the rights afforded to them by the constitution. If that’s going to be the case we need to try to make sure they do so responsibly.

The article doesn’t say this man was carrying either legally or illegally. But folks, if you are going to be a responsible concealed carry holder, you need to train. Many states including mine require you to have at least fired 200 rounds to renew your license, but you really need to do more then that. You need to practice your draw from many positions (of course, do this with a unloaded firearm), seated, crouching, on your back, etc. This will help you find which carry positions work best for you. Also, practice firing from these positions if you can. Many people use small of the back holsters which are terrible if an attacker has knocked you down on your back. Also, this usually applies to women and purses, off-body carry isn’t great. With off-body carry you are far more likely to have a accidental discharge while fumbling through your bag. In an intense moment you don’t want to be fumbling around trying to figure out how to get a good purchase on your firearm.

There is a theory about all the red okra painting that was happening by humanity across the world at similar times. Red okra is still used today by certain tribes as a natural sunscreen. Humans may have been experiencing either increased solar activity, or a decrease in earths magnetic field, which caused them to both use a sunscreen, and spend far more time in caves.

Some people probably are not responsible enough to carry daily no, but it is a constitutional right, so regardless they have the right until they do something stupid enough to lose that right (a felony). So the best course of action in this situation would be education.
