I realize this post may not be what some of you thought it would be when you selected to open it up and read it. However, I think it may be good to remind some of you what we all are here for and what we all have in common.
I have read, and seen so many of us posting topics either one way or another about CC carry and open carry. While it's great to bring up pros and cons of both and to share our knowledge of firearms, how we carry them, and how we use them to protect our families, it saddens me greatly to see you debating one or another as the better option or even to the extent as to condem or belittle those who would choose otherwise.
I personally believe that there are times where both open carry and CC are useful. There is nothing wrong with choosing to do either one. Choosing to own and bare your firearm at all doesn't give you the right to join this family of TRUE AMERICANS. Choosing to own and bare your firearm and keeping a sound mind on those shoulders of yours is what sets you apart from those criminals who also choose to own a gun. Let us remember that, to wield a gun is to inherit its devastating responsibilities along with it, it is how you choose to live your life and carry yourself with that power that makes you who you are and singles out the criminals.
I see comments where people put others on this website down because they choose not to carry a gun outside their home, or not to open carry but cc or otherwise. We should be focusing on supporting each other and supporting positive and productive debates and information on this website. Too often I see arguments regarding whats better CC or OC, and the thread turns into a non-positive argument rather then a healthy debate that helps build every ones knowledge and respect for firearms. There are alot of liberal types out there who could use that against legal, law abiding gun owning citizens like ourselves. If we are all so bull headed that we can't have a civil discussion about OC and CC that is constructive, how can anyone trust us to carry a gun in public? I know that there is a difference between disagreeing with someone in an online forum but do the libs? As far as the they are concerned if we can't even have a civil discussion or debate online about our own PASSION! (guns) something we all love and have in common, how are we going to react on the streets when confronted with criminals and life or death situations.
Owning a gun is more then just that, its also about keeping an open mind, being respectful, and being what we as Americans see as a true America. That means more then up holding our constitution and protecting our families. It also means freedom to eat, think, speak, write, go where we want, when we want, how we want. It means being able to keep an open mind and be accepting of everyone regardless of their personal choices or preferences, in these forums or out.
just food for thought.
have a good day!
