Personally, I think that if I'm in an area where I can carry a non-restricted firearm, I should also be able to carry (open carry) a restricted firearm. Since I don't intend to use either in a criminal manor, what difference does it make if it's a rifle or shotgun (far more powerful than your average handgun), or a more portable revolver or pistol?
I think they should make it easier to get the so-called "wilderness" carry permits for handguns. These are NOT the guns being used in crime, and to infer that I might somehow be a danger to the public just because I own and wish to use a handgun in a legal manor is insulting.
