when they carry a gun?

I hear all the time that they have a LTC or they carry a rifle or pistol to protect the Second Amendment.

That is the mantra of the Open Carry guys.

There is a huge difference between exercising a right and protecting a right.

see through people's BS gets much better.

Do they really think they are helping the 2A cause?

The one on the left has no business being in a Chipotle. He needs a concealed handgun and a salad.

So how exactly do you protect the 2nd amendment?

All these Holier-Than-Thou's criticizing others. You guys don't help anyone but the left with your pathetic pandering and criticism. They are still going to hate you in the morning. Oh, and your idea of 2A protection isn't the right one either.

Carry on with the backslapping and reach arounds.. 50 years of that bs got us here.


This cannot be fixed at the voting booth.. Wake Up You Morons!

I have to admit that I fully expected to see far more folks open carrying when the law changed. Truth is, I see very few people who open carry. Most of those are older gentlemen in and around where we lease in west Texas. These older guys usually have on a nice rig (shoulder, cross draw or OWB) and toting a 1911 or snubbie revolver.

I don’t open carry, but have switched to OWB and no longer worry about printing, or if gun is accidentally exposed.

I think there are several factors that go into protecting the 2A.

Bringing awareness

Voting for like minded people and holding them accountable

But most importantly, setting a good example. Don't act like an idiot with it, it's not a fashion accessory, know that there are people around you that feel very uncomfortable seeing you with a sidearm so send them home with a good feeling that it will be okay and lead by example.

Sometime could strip that pistol from that idiot and shoot him in the face before he even knew what happened.

Yes I’ll criticize people like this because if you think anyone that’s on the fence is going to side with these guys you’re mistaken.
