Open carry makes job more dangerous for law enforcement, officials
Earlier this year, Texas law enforcement officials held a news conference in Austin to oppose the so-called “constitutional carry” legislation. They included Garcia, the Dallas police chief, and Doug Griffith, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union. “A minimum level of training is not asking too much for carrying a firearm and it is consistent with the Second Amendment,” Garcia said at the news conference.

“It makes our job, the job of our men and women, more dangerous,” he added. “Gun owners have a duty to ensure that their firearms are handled safely and a duty to know applicable laws.”. .и
Research shows open carry can increase violent behavior generally. Χ
我是信德州现任警察呢还是信你这个所谓“退休执法人员呢“， 人家也说这个法律让他们更难执法， 我自然更相信德州chief of police说的， 人家也持反对态度，言下之意取消这个open carry对他们肯定有帮助，你有意见可以理解，但是我更新权威专业人士。 你这种perfectionism其实婉转点的拥枪派自己给自己找了太多借口了，有点自我催眠的意思。 . ----

Several high-profile mass shootings in recent years have propelled law enforcement officials and lawmakers to call for stricter gun control laws, including restrictions on open carry. In Dallas in 2016, five officers were killed and seven others wounded in an ambush that marked the deadliest single incident for US law enforcement since the September 11, 2001 attacks.

White nationalists who attended the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 stormed the city while openly carrying handguns and rifles. The rally ended with one person killed and 19 injured after a White supremacist slammed his car into a group of counterprotesters. In Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year, a group of men who openly carried guns during protests after the police shooting of Jacob Blake included then-17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot three people with his long gun.
A report published last week by Everytown and the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) includes a study of 560 events between January 2020 and June 2021 at which demonstrators, counterdemonstrators or other individuals or groups were present, either carrying or brandishing firearms.
“Contrary to claims that the presence of guns in public spaces makes people safer,” the report says, “demonstrations involving at least one armed individual tend to be violent or destructive 16% of the time.”
The study found that armed protests are nearly six times as likely to turn violent or destructive compared to unarmed protests. While armed demonstrations turn violent or destructive about 16% of the time, unarmed demonstrators might turn violent 3% of the time, the report says. ..
“Data shows that visible guns makes people more aggressive, so it’s a logical next step to believe that open carry makes it more likely that disagreements will turn into violent conflicts,” said Watts, of Moms Demand Action.
