Open Carry Firearms

When the average American thinks of a firearm, danger comes to mind. Some people love them, and some hate them. But yet there are a plethora of different laws when it comes to firearms. Each state in the United States of America has different gun laws. In a lot of the smaller southern states gun laws are not as strict as the more populated states. For example, in accordance with the laws in the state of Alabama it is possible to receive a permit to carry a concealed loaded pistol on your person or in your vehicle if it appears that the applicant has good reason to fear injury to his or her person or property or has any other proper reason for carrying a pistol, and that he or she is a suitable person to be licensed with the weapon. “Alabama is a traditional open carry state. The only thing preventing it from being one of our "Gold Star"open carry states is their prohibition against carrying openly in a vehicle without a permit.” However in the state of California open carry of a firearm is generally prohibited except in unincorporated areas where the county has not made open carry illegal or where the discharge of firearms is not prohibited. I believe it is inappropriate to be regulated by a state. The federal government should pass a firearms law for the United States of America that paints a clear picture on the rules and regulations no matter what state the firearm is registered in. For example, in the case of “Ramsey Winch Inc. v. Henry” in which workers in the state of Oklahoma shouldbe able to bring guns to work. The issue arose when employees were being terminated after their employers discovered the workers were in violation of company policies which prohibited employees from possessing a firearm on company property. There were many lawsuits filed against the state of Oklahoma Governor on the grounds of the state law conflicting one of the amendments. http://www.opencarry.org/al.html
