Handguns should be registered, a very liberal stop and frisk law enacted regardless of personal rights, and permitting to carry a concealed weapon be more in depth. None of these would prevent so called "good guys" from obtaining and carrying a handgun. I don't know how in hell getting control over all the handguns already out there in the wrongs hands is going to be accomplished but I know flooding the country with more guns is not the answer. Maybe you're ok with your wife, children, grandchildren, etc all carrying a handgun but that is not a community I want to live in. Just another opinion.

Open carry is bad for business too. I was reading a story where open carry is the law. The restaurant owner carries a concealed weapon to protect his customers and his business. Once customers started legally wearing sidearms business dropped. Seeing the guns does not make anyone feel safer unless it's worn by a LEO.
