We support a right to bear arms, but you don’t have to show them off in plain sightThat's called having a big "but." It's also reminiscent of Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal perception--if they can't see it...
And to prove their point, they devolve into the ever-predictable and totally unsupported by reality "Wild West" canard, and throw in a Quickdraw McGraw insult for good measure.
But they "fully support the Second Amendment," mind you...

Their version of the Second Amendment would have to read this way: "A regulated Militia, being necessary to a State, the right to keep Arms, shall be infringed."
My usual comeback to someone who objects to seeing my gun is: "Not my problem."
They usually go on, then, to tell me that it just makes people "uncomfortable."
My response: "Not my problem." Nobody has a "right" to be comfortable, especially at someone else's expense.
I just ask them if their (great-)grandmama's discomfort at seeing blacks eating in the town diner was the blacks' problem or hers.
Had a new greeter in Home Depot tell me to cover mine up. I said 'HUH". What's that all about. He said it made some people uncomfortable. I told him to tell them to go back to California. In AZ this is the norm.
