The Bubba Effect

Whew. I'm back now. After getting the visual of you carrying an AK while in drag I had to go throw up!
You must be an AR guy.

...our so-called constitutional rights are hanging by a thread. That little clause in the 2nd Amendment, "A well regulated militia" is all that the antis need to beat the thing into an unrecognizable gaggle of loose words...
You shouldn't have to fear the masses. If that is their intent, then they would be the ones in violation. Don't let em make you feel bad about your rights.No, I believe they are my right and I will exercise and possess that right as I wish without fear of what the masses wish to do or even think they can do to strip it from me.
If I feared the masses, I would only in practice be exercising a privilege and should certainly beware not to upset their irrational feelings.
I am. But, on a bike ride up Main Street in Evansville a couple months ago I saw a guy in drag standing in the door of a closed business waving at people. I puckered up and rode a little faster!You must be an AR guy.
Please explain super restrictive gun laws in some major cities plus Illinois.Nonsense. That clause does nothing but strengthen the impact of the 2A.

We don't want to lose our rights.,
Society has changed.
Because we didn't want to make waves.
Bingo, bingo and BINGO. You, sir, have summed up my greatest fear and the reason for the thread.I don't see it as not wanting to make waves, but more about bringing the mindset along at a pace that people can handle. You don't start first grade by learning calculus. You take a step by step approach that results in your knowing calculus, but only after mastering general math, algebra and so on. Right now, we have people becoming more accepting of handgun carry and I think that one day we could see the same for a long arm. But, try to cram that down societies throat before they are able to accept it, and they will demand some sort of protection from it. You push them too hard and you will do the anti-gunners work for them. The last thing they want is for any type of carry to be accepted and they would just love to see the sheep stirred up and marching to their cause.

I believe the action should fit the circumstance. If I walk into Thorntons (convience store) as I have a lot of times OCing with a single pistol on my hip, it's cool. If I have my sidearm and a shotgun slung across my back with a large ammo belt it's probably not cool. I do believe people would be nervous. If I did that every day I think some customers would find someplace else to get their coke or coffee.
We have a lot of enemies who want to take away our rights. If pushed hard enough we'll get more antis in office then the assault will begin.
So what you are getting at is that we as gun owners need to own more convenience stores?
C'mon, man. This is supposed to be a serious thread. I'm peeing my pants laughing.So what you are getting at is that we as gun owners need to own more convenience stores?
Rosa Parks.
While others. May be comfy covering up and hiding, others or more out in the open with others infringing on our rights.
If they can step on our toes and ask us to leave when we are doing nothing wrong, then why don't we strap up and protest peacefully with holstered/slung weapons?
I see no difference between this and the OWS protestors, except we would actually be protesting something worthwhile.
Now your thinking! The only problem is that Rosa Parks is dead. Even if she were not, I don't know that she would be on board with the idea of carrying an AR. But, if we can find someone else that is easy to relate to, and that is not threatening, it could work. I go back to Florence Henderson.
No, no. He's too violent. He'd be bad for our image. Why the kid's a thug!Justin Bieber?
