The Open Carry Argument

[Hotdoger]

Yeah just check my post count. It was up over 75, but I guess they didnt like half of the or something and removed them from my post count. PM'd the head admin and never received a response. Oh well...

To many abuse the 50 post rule trying to get into the classifieds .
So they clean up one word and one line posts of newbies.
It is they way of INGO. .

Did they actually delete my posts or just the post count? I do want to get to the 50, but they don't need to delete my 1 liners lol. I like my one liners.

And where in Boone county do you live hotdoger? I went to high school in Lebanon.

I never had my gun taken away...and to the other replies, I don't know what the badges are for, how you get them or even if I have them. I will be looking into that now.

He didn't ask you if you got your gun back. He asked ATM.

Open carry, concealed carry. I don't see where there should be any argument at all.

Off 39 North . Not quite to Pike.

Don't know if the oneliners are gone. Click your name (by welcome, top right)), click "show statistics', click on "find all posts by Hoosierlife', then see if any are missing.

You aren't ATM. ATM is ATM.

Make your 50.
Then, just like us, you can make all the one liners you want.

 

[CPT Nervous]

Cool.

 

[ATM]

BTW, did you ever get your gun back, ATM?

Well... I'd been meaning to buy a new one anyway...

I have seen this posted many times on a couple forums and it really does make a great point. I know there are many naysayers to OC, but gun supporters are gun supporters. CC v OC is really fighting amongst ourselves when we don't need to be. The debate has gotten really heated sometimes.

gun owners and those who "defend" the 2nd are well known for their infighting.

It's why we tend to either barely win or loose lots of the bigger votes until it really gets serious like this past Obama run on guns.
It's only when things get really grim that we finally close ranks and grow a pair and stop the infighting....

Even then we still bicker about things and we still have a huge number of folks who would rather stay in the shadows so they can pretend they are safe from any confiscation event. It's almost hilarious how many gun owners think that because they have only bought person to person or because they know this or that so they are SURE they are not on any sort of list as owning a gun that they feel that writing to their legislature will out them somehow so instead they bury their guns and ammo and PRETEND they will rise up to fight back "when the time comes."

Pay attention to how people here treat those who have the balls to say stuff like this are treated. It will be turned around on them as though they were the ones who were saying and doing what these tinfoil hat folks actually were and the sad part is that instead of checking that out, the majority will believe those tinfoil boys and force those who try to unify to be silent.

That may be hard to follow but take the time to read it slowly and understand it as it is done here often.

Gunowners seem bent on their own destruction.

Play time in the rep pyramid thread.....

Maybe not, if he made a good post and someone like me repped him he would be maxed out.

Here's a bowling alley where OC is apparently required.

The "open carry" argument? It's like the "caliber" debate...it will never end.

Open carry is best. 9x19mm is best. There. It's settled. Next topic.

I'm going to add that place to my network.

After lurking this thread for a while, I think anyone should carry how they want. When I receive my LTCH, I will CC for a while. I need to be comfortable doing what I'm doing before I make any more steps. I personally don't care if I see someone OC, it's their choice and I have no right to tell them what to do. When I get used to carrying, I will try OC and see how it goes. My guess right now is I'll CC when I'm doing everyday stuff, OC when the risk of anything happening is higher (going to/through rough areas for example). It all depends on what I would feel at that time.

I fully agree. We all want the right to carry do we not? It shouldn't matter if its openly or concealed. It'd be nice if we could do both all over the United States to be frank about it. The only way to keep carry laws from being repealed is for all of us to stick together.

Carry how you want where legal, it doesn't matter what everyone else is doing.
