Roughly half of the 50 U.S. states have adopted laws allowing gun owners to carry their guns openly in most public places.</i><br /><br />Which looking more closely is close to "not even wrong", unless the Open Carry movement has been a lot more successful than I realized---which even then anyone who's watched a Western should wonder about. If he meant concealed and shall issue, <i>de facto</i> like in Connecticut or <i>de jure</i> in most states, the number is an astonishing 42 out of the 50. Plus much of rural CA, MA (!!!) and Upstate NY, and Rhode Island is confused/confusing but not entirely locked down.<br /><br />Or "<i>The NRA and other gun-rights groups have allied themselves with the Republican Party....</i>" which would be news to a bunch of gun grabbing Republicans who have been on the wrong side of endorsements. Heck, they're in tight with the #2 Democrat of the country, Harry Reid now that he's gotten religion.<br /><br />Still, all in all a lot better than we're used to.
