Gun owners await facts

Thu., July 28, 2016

Regarding Jackie McCowen-Rose’s letter (“Silence on open carry,” July 20) asking why are concealed/open carry people quiet about the Minnesota incident: The large majority of gun owners, concealed/open carry folks are responsible regarding allowing all the facts to come out before engaging in an inappropriate diatribe.

There are questions still to be answered during the investigation. Let those facts come out. A wise man once said, “… it is better to remain silent and look a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.”
