The complete disconnect with reality that the OCT people are showing should scare you. They are using every wrong tactic they can to try to accomplish something (if they really are trying to accomplish it)This post snippet scares the crap out of me!
What does "reasonably armed" mean? Who gets to decide just what is "reasonable"? You?
You guys have already lost this battle. Your attacking the wrong group and frankly... That scares the crap out of me too!
Rather then "hide" your guns as not to upset the civilians, what else are you doing to ensure our Rights remain intact?
We shouldn't be fighting each other! It serves no purpose but to divide us!
You may not like open carry but that's no reason to attack me because I do!
People! Stop this infighting and channel this energy into getting carry, of ANY KIND, in EVERY STATE!
The attitude that you have is "it doesn't matter what you do, I will support you because you have a gun". This absurd and frankly alarming. Just because someone owns a gun, doesn't mean I should support any foolish behavior they do.
They purposefully go to private property and force a business into making a political statement. This is what blows my mind about the level of stupidity involved. They are not going about their business normally in these stores. They are not just shopping. They are not carrying these long guns for self defense. They are trying to make a political statement in what, has until that point, been a impartial uninvolved business.
They are bringing a political issue into a private business. They are not shopping. There are a million different important issues in the world. If you owned a business and had an obligation to families that you employ. Would you want every political issue debated in the middle of your store. Would you give up your lively hood to make a stand FOR EVERY ISSUE IN THE WORLD? even ones you do not care about.
You better dang well be willing to do that if you want to post the stuff you do. Guns are the most important issue to you, me and 99% of the people here, but guess what it is not to Target and Chillis.
Would you risk you job to pick a side on EVERY ISSUE THAT CAME UP. That is what you expect of everyone else.
If open carry is important to you, be passionate about it and be vocal. Be involved. Do not be stupid. OCT is stupid. Very, very stupid
I was not aware that I would be labeled a gun nut for my belief in OC
you are not being labeled for your belief in OC. You are being labeled for your support of the Open Carry Texas crowd, which is a dangerous counter productive bunch that hurts people that actually care about OC
