Nice story Leo! I guess the park rangers are educated now, eh?
I'll admit it kinda sucks that the park rangers are probably driving gators after giving up their suburbans due to the lawsuit, but sometimes education can be costly to an uninformed LEO.
As far as carrying an "unloaded gun".....well that's just an oxy-moron to me. It's a hammer at that point, not a gun. Would you bring a hammer to a knife fight? A hammer to a gun fight? Ummm.
The GREAT thing about NC is that there is no stop and identify with OC because you are not breaking any laws. Carry all you want, keep it in the holster in public until something bad happens. Legal.
OC is allowed and legal in NC because THERE ARE NO LAWS IN NC AGAINST OPEN CARRY. That's true in quite a few states as well. Because many states do not write laws saying you can't OC, you can. Look for an OC law on the NC books. There isn't one, not one. It's an "unalienable right" as given to us by God and our insightful fore-fathers to defend ourselves.
The last paragraph represents the OC advocate in the film. Although I think he's a jackass as well, he's out there advocating our inalienable right to carry a gun,
a loaded gun ( well,
KINDA loaded in Kali), whether it be OC or CC. If you don't raise awareness, they'll take your rights with unannounced board meetings, city council meetings, and state ordinance hearings and you'll never know it until you can't carry anymore and are arrested. You can't karry a loaded gun in Kali because Kali says you kan't.
Although I don't advocate his method, I do advocate his message.
