[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 2267014, member: 4701"] I've been driving all day and I'm finally stopped long enough to address this. I have very few, if any, reservations about the carry of firearms be it open or concealed. I think there is a time and a place for everything. Open carry, to me, is a tool and nothing more. It is not a lifestyle, political statement, moral crusade or a way to "educate" the less enlightened. I myself have used that method and several occasions where it made great sense. Stand up for your rights but don't be a tool. Whether you like it or not, Hoplophobes hold significant political sway. Don't go out of your way to unnecessarily instill fear or uneaseyness in folks. While it was before my time, the state of California did allow open carry in most if not all areas. During the 60s due to obnoxious people wishing to make political statements, namely the Black Panther party, openly carrying sidearms and long arms in and around public buildings and in public places laws were passed to curtail this. Was that a wrong course of action? Without a doubt. Was it unconstitutional? Most certainly! Is it the law then and currently that is enforced by the will of the government, i.e. the will to use force to make people go along with that law? Yes, it is. As I said before, there are unintended consequences to many things in life. Vamoose, I find it just easier in general to stay sober. You're mileage may vary. ;) Oklaccer, Communication is indeed a wonderful and useful thing. Do you know if the phrase within quotation marks that immediately proceeded the words "open carry". Those words were not placed there in that fashion without specific reason. If some on is acting in that fashion I am damn well going to call them a retard. If they are not then carry on! Are there any more feelings that have been hurt or sacred cows that need to be slaughtered? If not I have to go buy my buddies that just got back from the Afghan a beer. Toodles! Ek [/QUOTE]
