The guy went on a shooting spree and killed 3 people. So yea, allowing every nutjob to walk freely with guns make us so much safer


Open carry becomes focus after Colorado Springs shooting rampage

An emergency call placed moments before Saturday's shooting rampage in Colorado Springs has sparked intense debate on how police should respond to armed people in public given Colorado's open carry law.

Naomi Bettis told The Denver Post she called 911 after spotting her neighbor, 33-year-old Noah Harpham, armed with a rifle on the street. She says a dispatcher explained Colorado allows public handling of firearms.

Harpham went on to kill three people.
