Maybe not. But in at least one case in our state last year, someone was the target of an armed robbery BECAUSE he was open-carrying and the robber apparently needed another gun.

And you don't need a $50.00 permit, at least in my state. Let's see now....
No forms, no permits, no lessons, no classes, no costs, no identifying yourself to government...
That's starting to sound better all the time.

I found the story, and agree that the object of the theft was an openly carried firearm. Interestingly enough, even though the criminal had and brandished his own firearm, he didn't shoot the citizen. Not much different than wearing your Rolex or your big gold chain.

These open carry guys do the rest of us a real service. It's like painting a big white bullseye on their "shoot me first" shirts, thereby drawing a terrorist's attention away from the rest of us. The next time you see an open carry guy, you should thank him for that. Just sayin'.
As to that, with the recent case of the foiled Dunkin Donuts robbery in Philadelphia Caught on Camera: Officers Foil Dunkin' Donuts Robbery | NBC 10 Philadelphia I would consider that quite unlikely. This guy walked past an occupied police car in the parking lot!

Here in Mass they do a background check every time you renew and it takes months. My last was submitted on 12/6 and the LTC came in on 2/9. $100 for 6 years and the paperwork is the same for renewal as it is for the initial license.
