Any citizen of the United States should be able to acquire a permit to openly carry firearms for their personal protection. Granting the permit would require a background check for criminal convictions and mental stability.
Why is this important?
It would be nice to have openly armed citizens with legal permits on the streets to counteract the illegally armed criminal crazies who are running around in our society freely killing anyone nearby simply because there aren't any cops around to stop them. If there were more law abiding armed citizens on the streets then they could stop the crazies cold and save a lot of innocent lives.
