So I shouldn't give my opinion if I'm passionate about it the other way? Huh, for a constitution crowd I would have thought you'd of brushed up on the first amendment....guess you just skimmed over it and went on to the 2nd.

I agree with you, it's a form and it's for talky talk, but there is still a way to do it and express your opinion without talking down to someone for what they feel is right. If we had more people with half the passion (for whatever you believe in) as these guys we wouldn't be in some of the situations we are in. I bet you wouldn't feel the same way if someone called your kid or wife the same things as you have called others. Once again, I have not been to these rallies nor do I carry a rifle around, but I don't sit here and call names to the guys and gals who do.

What are these situations we are in ?

Oh yeah....and if someone don't like our TEXAS GUN LAWS....then GET THE F OUT. I'm sure kali would welcome you cuz we don't want you here.

Amazing thing is those same people carrying open also are more likely to vote... See Colorado situation for more details. The only way the worst enemy comment works is if you walk in one of these and don't walk into a voting both in November.

I have to say that I think it's time for gun owners to pull their heads out of the sand and become more active. We've been the equivalent of arm chair quarterbacks. We collectively give millions to the NRA and do nothing more. the NRA is a multi million dollar corporation. They have their place, but we can speak for ourselves too.

While the $ has kept the status quo for the most part, it has recently been demonstrated that the opposition's power and popularity is growing. They aren't just donating $ and setting back. They get out and loudly protest and the media eats it up. Their propaganda machine works, and the Executive branch and Justice dept has actively worked to limit our 2A rights. Not just the recent push, but I guarantee Fast and Furious was a covert op to make it look like cartels were legally getting guns from border states because Obummer was pushing that before F&F came out. You can also look how the ATF has started trying to make their own laws about what firearms should be restricted (ex. saiga shotguns). This is being done without representation in the government or voting.

Desensitizing people to guns is a key component to reeducating them, IMO. The antigun people have been preaching guns are evil to for years to sensitize the populace, and the masses have been eating it up. It's time non gun owners see that guns won't just discharge when you look at them as they've been lead to believe.

I talk guns with a few people at work. Had a guy overhear us about a chl conversation and he immediately said, "That's bad." I asked him why and he had no answer. There are people here in Texas with the mind set that they hear "gun" and they automatically think its bad. If they think its bad to conceal carry, I guarantee they're OK with evil black rifles being banned too. I would be very surprised if the stopped at black rifles. It may stop there for a while, but then something else will come up.

I'm glad to see OUR side make a visible statement instead of expecting our hired hands do it for us. It's really sad to see the amount of people on here mocking and trying to discourage fellow gun owners for standing up for their and YOUR rights. You may not agree with the way they are going about it, or with the "war" in general, but at least support the "troops."

It's sure going to be sad when one of your folks goes into Walmart on an open carry demo with an AK-47, and someone runs up and shoots them in the the head assuming they are there to do a spree killing. I bet they get no-billed too.

Aren't you a LEO?



If guns scare you so much, maybe you shouldn't carry one.

Is that going to be sad? Sounds more like you're hoping and wishing that would happen.

Guess what? Armed citizens generally don't panic at the thought of fellow citizens also being armed.

Only the elitists think they should be the only ones armed... You're not an elitist, are you?

Probably just has some real life experience and enough knowledge/intelligence to know that people sometimes make stupid decisions. I don't have to be an elitist to know that I don't want every Joe Smoe walking around with an AK-47 in public. When we get enough people expressing themselves by walking around with Ak's of AR's, we will get a new law that says you can't do that very thing.

The thing I don't get is how everyone says don't do that or they will make it against the law. So you are okay with it being legal, just don't want anyone to actually do it, and if you are not going to open carry a rifle then why the hell do you care if they make it agains the law.

Which is the opposite of how reality is. Which is why I get down on bended knee and treat any and all officers like they are my lord commander. But I certainly have no problem with, and even encourage, LAW-ABIDING citizens that openly stand up to oppression.

Well, although you may disagree, I also have real life experience, and intelligence. And the majority of time I hear police speak against open carry, or armed citizens in general, it comes down to one thing: personal preservation. Police are inconvenienced, and, in their minds, put into more dangerous situations because of open carriers.

Now, I am all for helping make the police's job easier and safer, but not at the expense of citizens' rights. A LAW-ABIDING citizen shouldn't need to walk on eggshells to please a cop; a cop should walk on eggshells to please a LAW-ABIDING citizen.
