Civilian open-carry facts

Fact: 11% of police shootings kill an innocent person - about 2% of shootings by citizens kill an innocent person.

Fact: Police firearm retention is a problem. Hundreds of firearms are missing
from the FBI alone and 449 of them have been involved in crimes.

Legal gun owners are actually members of the most law abiding citizens in the US.

Police do not get into the profession to carry a firearm. Citizens who carry, typically have an interest in firearms and protecting themselves and their family, and self-trained in ways that make them more familiar with the weapons they carry than the average police officer. 

Many propose the training and permitting of firearm carry, the moment a right is restricted to permitted owners it no longer is a right but becomes a privilege granted by the state.

Trading a right for a privilege is never a reasonable barter, that is unless such support comes from the political statist who supports removing self-protection rights.

The criminal minority sadly has set the standard by reason the statist anti-gun people use to trample on the rights of the responsible citizen. There are sadly far too many laws supposed to punish the criminal and irresponsible people that encroach on the rights of the responsible citizen.
