    The Open Carry Argument

    Wow, just wow. Never thought I'd have to put someone on ignore in my own thread. I keep asking and you keep hedging. We're finished.

    The Open Carry Argument

    If one of us didn't believe 2+2=4 the other could cite this page (among many others) to prove it is true, that it is factual. You are claiming open carry = restrictive gun laws. Now provide a citation it is true. I believe the opposite, that open carry observation does not result in more gun...

    The Open Carry Argument

    So it's true because it's true? That's an argument a child would make - how do you not see that? OK, maybe we can get somewhere IF you can direct me to where I can read something (or anything) where some goofy liberal was pro-gun but changed their mind after observing open carry. Except you...

    The Open Carry Argument

    Based on what evidence? Because you feel it's true? Feeling are subjective; I asked for objective. Basing your discussion on feelings is irrational, and we leave irrational arguments behind with childhood. If I were to attempt to have a rational discussion with someone choosing to be...

    The Open Carry Argument

    You're making this... "They haven't changed completely, there was still people and politicians those people voted for, seeking our gun rights but while Biden's been in office and even under Trump's presidency, the Democrats have been pushing harder than they ever have to abolish our gun rights...

    The Open Carry Argument

    Everything here is strawman argument. Are there people pushing for more restrictive gun laws? Yes. Have you linked even one of these new gun laws to open carry? No. So again, pure speculation. My actual experience was almost exclusively positive. People that might have passed by and not...

    The Open Carry Argument

    The difference is you speak in speculation, I speak from experience. During the decade+ I was openly carrying daily, 99% of the response I observed was positive. The 1% that was negative was a woman who wanted to debate that only police should have guns, so nothing I did or said changed her...

    The Open Carry Argument

    Actually, this thread is about dispelling the silly unsubstantiated myths around open carry. The essay does not say open carry is better than concealed carry, and that's not what its about. In some situations open carry is better, in others, concealed carry is better - that's for the reader...

    Some Things I've Learned About Our So-Called Brothers in Arms

    I stayed out of this thread for a long time, waiting to see where it was going to go. As usual with OC threads, myth, lack of understanding, and pure hogwash quickly began to surface. I tried to be as reasonable as I could, and went out of my way to be civil, but ended up getting banned by the...

    I cannot imagine hiking or backpacking with a thigh holster. That might work for a stroll around the park, but it would get pretty tiring after several miles and a few thousand feet of elevation gain. Try this: Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed

    Why I Have A Problem With Open Carry

    I was in the AF for 20, so I look askance at the Navy as well. The Navy runs were the worst. Charleston - Norfolk quick turn - Rota crew rest- Sigonella crew rest - Capadochino quick turn- Sigonella crew rest - Rota crew rest - Norfolk quick turn - Charleston. $275 in per diem. Link Removed...

    The Open Carry Argument

    The Open Carry Argument My primary goal when I’m out and about, besides whatever I went out and about to do, is to go about peaceably and not be the victim of a violent crime. To that end I carry a firearm whenever I go out as well as follow all the other standard safety practices like...
