KCRW had a radio interview titled 'What's Happening to Gun Control' (http://www.kcrw.com/news/programs/tp/tp100311whats_happening_to_g) yesterday. Two of the featured guests were John Pierce of OpenCarry.org and Paul Helmke of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The interview was most likely prompted by the recent news of Starbucks allowing open carry (http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?topic=353.0).
I thought it was a pretty good interview and presented some good points on the history of gun control from the gun control side that I need to research more. I would have preferred a little more debate and maybe another person supporting gun rights, but all-in-all it was pretty balanced. What was really interesting were the points where John Pierce stated that according to Heller, the right to open carry is enumerated in the 2nd Amendment but concealed carry is not. That section is at about 25:20.
If you listen, the gun section of the audio starts at about 7:21.
