SOTG 083 Pt. 1 - OC vs. CCW: Changing the Language to Unite the Gun Culture

Biloxi, Mississippi - The Missouri House successfully overrode Governor Jay Nixon's veto of pro-gun legislation. Amongst other aspects, the new law makes it legal to open carry in Missouri under certain circumstances.

With Open Carry yet again in the national spotlight, it is time to discuss a verbiage change. Members of the gun culture have been wrangling with each other for year over this topic. Professor Paul has a suggestion that should bring everyone in the choir together and have them singing from the same sheet.
