    I think I get the yes/no right to bare arms debate, but for a long time I didn't understand the open vs. concealed carry debate that seemed like splitting hairs on a side issue.
    Lately I think it's mostly a propaganda thing. Of course there are tactical considerations, but the main issue is political, i.e. seeing an armed civilian raises questions about power structure, trust etc.
    Forcing people to hide their weapon keeps the population calm and gives a feeling of homogeneity. People get used to and feel safe with only the police being armed.

    • I knew a woman that would salt the slugs in her garden. seems cruelsofas
    • My father would take a pie tin fill it with a little beer and put it in the garden. The slugs crawl in and drown.GM278
