TIME TO START NATIONAL A "BOYCOTT OPEN CARRY BUSINESS" CAMPAIGN. [View all]
Unless citizens with common sense become radical about "open carry" laws we will have weapons in the open in ALL of our public areas. We have to treat open carry people like smokers and let them know that they are not welcome in public. That means we have to have a national pamphlet to present to businesses across the nation demanding that they post "NO GUN" signs on their establishment.
If the legislatures won't challenge these idiots then citizens have to chase these people off in some way. I personally will not tolerate someone with a weapon in my presence. We must publicly shun these fools.
ANYONE WHO IS SO PARANOID THAT THEY HAVE TO BE ARMED ALL THE TIME IS TOO DANGEROUS TO CARRY A GUN.

1. Excellent idea.
And I especially agree with your last sentence.

3. A lot of small businesses are in places where a large majority of their customers carry.
I don't like it either, but we need to change the laws, not punish a small business trying to keep their heads above water. Some of them are one or two good customers away from losing their business.
Go after the laws, the NRA people who can well afford the fight.

27. I agree. open carry is more trouble that it is worth
All it does is intimidate or scare other people. What if the guy sitting next table to you and who is open carrying is deranged and about to get up and start shooting ? At least, for concealed carry you have to get a permit and you do not freak out other people.
I live in Virginia where open carry is allowed. I occasionally see people doing that but not very often. The only time I carry myself is to walk from my house to my woodworking shop on my property. Its a few hundred yards away and in early spring, black bears can sometimes pop out of the swamp and wander in. Our property backs to the swamp.
I never had to shoot a bear but I do not want to be face to face with one as I exit my shop unprepared. I never felt the need to walk around armed when I go to town or anywhere else.

Racist bastard. All bears matter.
Why did Banzin self-delete? He is getting even more bitter with every pound he gains.
I bet that when Bob's comments are too far out of line, it embarrasses his wife, and she makes him delete them.
I wish I knew where this idiot lived and what restaurant he went to (IF he went at all. For all we know, he saw a guy on TV open carrying and imagined this whole thing), so I could open carry when he's there.
NOTE: I never open carry. I don't want to be the first on the bad guy aims at. I'd rather give him/her a "surprise". That said, I'd open carry just to see his reaction.

PGR & BD, if you do, be sure your vehicle has a nice big American flag or Confederate battle flag (or both!). REALLY get his attention!

Note that he is only threatening to shoot BLACK bears.
Polar bears have white privilege, and tbey don't know it.
I have Gadsden flags on my Jeep and motorcycle. Hopefully that will be enough to give him the squirts.
Hey TMN, go for it! Look how successful your boycott of Chick fil A has been!

33. I've never even seen a gun
except on a cop.
I hardly ever get to use one of my favorite lines for anti tards.
All of my guns including multiple AK's and a couple of beltfeds must be broke since they still haven't killed as many people as teddy kennedys Oldsmobile has. :fuelfire:
You said "AK" and "beltfed" in the same sentence. That'll drive out any lurking DUmmies!

I love how Bob always says we need to have/do this or that like he has some minions that are going to jump up and do his bidding. Since he didn't generate any volunteers with his post, he needs to hop to it and get those pamphlets printed and distributed.
Damn, open carry is all it takes to keep those cheap-ass, irritating bastards out of an establishment? We should have adopted it sooner!:-)
