Letter to the Editor: Too easy?

BY Cheryl Cato, Tulsa

With the increasing crime rate, we all live in a state of fear. We think twice about doing some of the things we used to do or going places we used to go. My concern with open carry (or even concealed carry for that matter) is that it will be too easy to react to what we perceive as a dangerous situation and innocent people will be killed.

None of us knows what happened in Florida and we may never know.

But, isn’t it possible that George Zimmerman reacted out of emotionally charged fear based on circumstances rather than actual fact?

And, if people are walking around carrying guns, how are we going to know the good guys from the bad guys?
