Hoplophobia destroys lives. Just look at poor Dee Beck, living under the delusion that others are responsible for her decision to react to their exercising Liberty and self-reliance with ignorance, bigotry and self-imposed terror. [Read]
How does she ever negotiate a parking lot or a trip on a roadway with other moving vehicles? After all, each could turn and intentionally hit her without provocation or warning! Diners at a restaurant could attack her with steak knives!Forget about going to bowling alley, or worse yet the tool department at the local hardware store. You just never know for sure. "Lions, tigers and bears! Oh my!"
I can see both sides of the open carry argument. I'm liable to carry openly or concealed, depending on the situation and I always carry something. I don't think that we make any political capital by alienating the great middle ground of people who don't have an opinion.
Pawpaw, nobody has any right "NOT" to be offended or frightened. Those are simply a few human characteristics we can't do much about.
Catering to those irrational fears and allowing these folks to believe they do have some such bogus "right" makes no sense at all.
If we are peaceful, non-threatening (in any real sense) and simply go about our normal business without arguing with these people, some will eventually get the message, get comfortable with it, or at least not be confrontational.
In any case, it is THEIR problem, not mine.
I actually would CC more, but these same idiots have decreed that it is illegal for me to do so without some "license" from the state. Not going to happen that way for me.
And I don't see how we'll ever get anywhere, if we worry about who we're alienating. I see both sides too, but I don't give a damn about the other side, because they're a pack of murderers and their enablers. This is one of those fights where you need to know that if you lose it, you lose everything good that goes with it. Aye, pick your fights carefully, but know who the enemy is.
Using this argument people that buy a Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette, Audi, or ANY performance car should only be allowed to buy it and keep it at their house. After all display of such a purposeful vehicle who's only job is to go stupidly fast is dangerous, unnecessary and might frighten people.
Excuse me lady I need to wrench on miata so it's even more unnecessary and fast.
