I never understood how someone can open carry with no issues but somehow if you have your shirt covering the gun it becomes a huge problem. Blows my mind.

I'm not the best person to answer this for you.
But I will suggest that just about anyone who is active (e.g. an officer or director) in the Louisiana Sheriff's Association can explain it.

It's very much a law enforcement issue. And therein lies "the rub." For some folks the CCW requirement is a real-world enforcement/safety issue, while for others it's a philosophical argument.

As I mentioned before, I'll bet I've devoted more time and funds to protect our 2nd Amendment rights than anyone on this board. But there are practical considerations that also need to be taken into account. And somewhere there has to be a balance.

If people really want to eliminate an unfair barrier to gun ownership and gun use, I'd suggest supporting the Hearing Protection Act (and pushing for the complete dissolution of the NFA Class III restrictions).
