Utah lawmakers now have CCW badges!?!

[Standing Wolf]

Open carry is a lot simpler.

Does a six pointed star on the pin mean they support carrying kosher weapons??

 

[Old Dog]

What absolute dummies.

Talking smack about your legislators that actually support RKBA and concealed carry?

No wonder our movement is in trouble.

Legislators in my state make a public show about supporting gun rights, I'd be starting threads talking about how great my state is ... I could care less how over-the-top someone else thinks it looks, I'd just be happy to see some congress-critters publicly displaying their support for the cause in any way, shape or form ...

One pin - an innocuous looking red oval with a gold six-pointed star in the center - has its own special message: I'm packing a gun.

Or your a jewish Bolshevik.

It just seems like another "Only Ones" thing to me.

If the trend was to wear such a pin ONLY to announce to the world that you are carrying, that would be a bit crazy.

But if the trend was limited to making a political statement supporting the RIGHT to carry, I can deal with that.

That would be no different than someone wearing a Sig Sauer logo t-shirt, an NRA hat, or a Molon Labe decal in the rear window of their pickup.

All symbols of being pro-gun.

How bout states with no open carry? Wouldn't a pin like that show others you support the RKBA? What if you don't care if the world knows you are carrying? Isn't part of the reason we are here to ensure that people have the right to carry? How is it fair to criticize persons who chose to advertise this fact? I'm not saying you need to run out and get your very own CCW badge with matching tacticool black baseball hat. Yet I also don't see that big of a difference between the CCW pin, and a NRA T-shirt or baseball hat advertising a gun manufacturer.
