man carries assault rifle to president Obamas speech.. legally.

True to that.Well you know what I meant. Sh!t even a pens or pencils can be use as weapon..if you wanna get technical about it !

 

But just put yourself in the shoes of "ordinary" people. Assume they go to the grocery store and wallah- there's a dude buying milk and eggs with an AK-47 strapped to his back, and like the person in the picture, he's totally legit and legal. Do you think most people would be ok with that? That's what I'm saying here. I personally would never do anything like that simply because A: I don't like drawing attention to myself and B: Its naturally going to make people around you extremely nervous.

 

Gotta love this state.

 

Agreed on that. That's what I'm trying to say, I just can't put in a nice way as you did.

 

ha..may be they can't afford guns...like I said : I hear you

 

That is part of the problem. There was a time when walking into a store with a loaded gun was the normal routine.

Ask yourself this? What would the founders, and forefathers of this country say if they could be resurrected for one day with full knowledge of how are current government works? I bet they would run rampant through the streets urging people to pick up arms.
I am no gun nut, I am a freedom nut though!

On a side note. How many people carry pocket knives in their everyday travels?

 

awesome. i saw the video on CNN of the guy last week that carried his handgun open carry. he got wailed on by cnn. but he stayed strong. i think more and more are waking up and realizing our gun rights are at jeopardy

 

That's why they used Hammer(s)

 

I did once. It was a crazed flintlock. Everyone was running.

 

I think its cool. It is obviously not a third world country by the presence of US service rifles.

If I am going to carry at a protest I will proudly carry my M1 Garand. Nothing says Don't Tread on Me like a heavy battle rifle.

 

Good stuff!

 

I am so jealous. . .I live in one of the most gun oppressed states in the union, Wisconsin. Howevever, our super lib gov. Doyle, has announced he will not seek a third term. Since we have a ccw ban here technically we must be able to open carry, how did our society get so messed up?

I would love to move to Texas or Arizona I just don't think I could take the weather. Wyoming seems nice this time of year?

 

I think this is wonderful! California. Here we (the state, not me) celebrate all things 1st amendment - gay rights (parades, etc.), animal rights, nose piercings, Man Boy Love Association - bottom line being different at any cost. Arizona - at least how I remember it - celebrates freedom through 2nd ammendment and personal freedom. I love it. I think people should have some sense of "I better not fu@k with that dude." Or for that matter "Any dude around here with that guy with a long barrelled, nickle plated pistol strapped to his leg like that." Speaking in generallities and about the more populated areas of California, punks think they are the law and when it comes to guns they are - they hold the law;The law of physics of lead traveling at high velocities. They all think they are attorneys too!

I once spent a day at a park with my girlfriend in a highly populated city. At 8:45 pm a 16 yr old kid came by on a bike and asked us what time it was. I told him 8:45. 8:50 pm another kid came by and asked the same question (started to think he wanted my watch). I told him 8:50. 8:55 pm another kid came by asking the same thing. I told him I didn't know and to get lost. 9 pm another kid came by and asked the same thing. I told him to fcuk off and to get the hell out of my space. With that a group of about 12 Mexican kids came out from the bushes and the kid in the middle with a white shirt and a nickle plated pistol in his waistband is yelling "You fcuking with the home boys?" ( 2 or 3 other kids had knifes in their hands.)

My girlfriend (half Venezuelan and half Mexican) pops up and is looking at me like "get up and protect me." I'm thinking that would be the stupidest thing to do (kind of like jumping a tiger). So I said "I'm not fcuking with the home boys, I don't expect the home boys to be fcuking with me." We went back and forth like that 3 times and finally someone in the back said he's a white boy, don't worry about it. WTF? I thought that was a strike against me.

Once they left, I then got up and took her home.

Turns out that park was owned either by Mexicans or Asians every night to sell dope each night. So they thought was if we were Mexican or Asian, we would go back to our neighborhood and tell them to stay away. It turns out a women I worked with who lives near that park had a neighbor that ended up with something like 17 slices to his legs and feet.

I grew up in a rural area and if you were still a wise ass by the time the rodeo came to town, you would have your ass kicked then. I personally think that kids that have uncontrolled gun possession with a hoodlum mentality just never had their asses kicked the way they should have been. - By someone that had some good societal values instead of some punk gang member attempting to skew a young kids mind.

Guns don't create their own misuse - punk ass societies that lack respect cause misuse of guns.

Intellectualls can be just as bad. They think they have intellectual solutions to the human condition regardless of the real populous. I have a nephew who went to middle school in Princeton NJ. He was telling me that the 2nd amendment has been falsely interpreted since it was only meant for times of war. That thought was thanks to his civics teacher. WTF? That happened in Princeton NJ - if they only knew their True history. That was the place that many of the revolutionaries met since it was half-way between NY and Philly. Also a place that had a good share of revolutionary wars. How soon liberals forget. You know the guys that had a 9-11 sticker on their car until it's first detail.

 

My only problem with open carry is when the weapon is forcefully removed and/or used against the citizen(s). I like the idea of open carry, but I love walking around knowing that no one knows what I am carrying.
