Some comments bouncing off your post....Going along the lines of some others here, let me point some things out.
OC is not inherently better than CC.
CC is not inhernetly better than OC.
If you use your power to vote in favor of the 2A, than you are standing up for your rights, no matter how you use them.
Yes ... voting in favor of the 2nd Amendment is standing up for your rights. Voting to further concealed carry permits is voting against the 2nd Amendment because "permits" are "infringements".
And, if the right to bear arms were respected by government there would not be the infringement of needing the permission (permit) from government to CC.
No matter how folks parse words... a "permit" is the antithesis of a "right". And a vote in favor of "permits" is a vote against "shall not be infringed".
And OC has benefits CC doesn't...
CC has benefits OC doesn't..
However, in my experience with several online forums and in real life, the preponderance of folks who incite arguments about CC vs OC... are not OC'ers.
And sometimes folks think that arguments against the CC permit are also arguments against CC... when CC is just another facet of ... "the right of the people to bear arms" but the abomination of a CC permit is what is meant by "shall not be infringed.".
A very general comment:
What I find discouraging is how many folks actually think a "permit to carry concealed" is the same as "the right to bear arms".
