U.S. Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke, a Trump appointee, said in the 2-1 decision that the state’s law couldn’t stand under the Supreme Court’s 2022 landmark gun rights ruling.
I’m a gun person and even I’m taken aback when I see someone open carrying. I don’t carry, open or concealed, for a myriad of reasons. Mainly I’m gigantic and trained to fight, but also I’m not a fucking paranoid nut case. The only exception is when I go hiking or camping. Never needed it and hope I never do.
But then you hear idiots talk about "I wish a mfer would give me a reason!"and I realize I’m in the pretty small minority.
Sack of hammers looking for a nail. They’re cowards steeped in fear. Always subscribing to that hyper-readiness doctrine spread by self-defense wingnuts that have you looking out for “bad guys” everywhere you go. Because you never know. They could win the “I defended myself” lottery when some rando argues with them on the street over a public parking spot they wanted, gets in their face and out comes the gun. Because you never know, he might have gotten violent.
They’re all Rittenhouse-ers. Deliberately not avoiding or walking away from escalating situations. Then they get the support from their “I woulda shot the fucker, too” network of gun nut pals.

They always say that and yet when there’s a shooting they’re never around to stop them.
They’re addicted to the idea of using violence and being a hero for it.

Ikr! I consider people who want to shoot other people complete cowards.

It’s hard to imagine the remorse one would be forced to carry after willingly shooting another human being.
Even killer cops have a first murder, which must either break them or drive them deeper into abuse.
It seems horrifying to me.
