Not bad at all Navy. I'd call that respectable. You look like a [edit: off duty] cop.
But I still say its not a good idea in my locale.
You should care... they vote. Every single one that gets upset is just another that can join and fund the anti's.
Like it or not, our gun laws are subject to voter scrutiny in many places every few years.
I'm referencing a guns ability to attract attention to itself due to its size. I have a few 1911's and CC them when its cold out. Navy's picture whould take on a very different persona if he were sporting a USP Mark 23 or 6" Magnum.
The only level of upset I have here is a sense of concern that some seem hellbent to do harm to our cause through uncompromisingly ranting about 2A, and seemingly relishing any opportunity to rub raw the on-the-fencers and anti's alike.
Right. You pretty much nailed my perspective on it.
I dont think OC should ever be used as a opportunity to "show off" a gun like its a diamond ring, a chromed out Harley or a gold tooth (haha).
And under NO circumstances should it EVER be used in ANY way that is intimidating or bully'ish. I'm referring to those BarnyBadA$$ who would cut in line with a GFYS attitude and dare anyone to say anything because they're obviously packing. We all know the the type, the one that should be be dropped with a zapper and have their gun taken down and parts scattered amongst the nearby trash cans and water ways.
Well ok, I got carried away with that, but you get the point..
But I still say its not a good idea in my locale.

evan price said:I think what you, Dashunde, means is you don't want to portray our cause as "that guy" with the dropleg tactical holster and fifteen spare mags on his belt, or that other guy with the cheapy plastic holster that drops his gun while getting out his billfold. Don't be "that guy" and make us all look like uneducated redneck inbred hicks or Tacticool Tommies like the Bradys try so hard to keep Hollywood showing us as.
