I certainly agree that insulting someone will never help win them over. While I might recognize someone as having the opinions of a Fudd, I certainly would never refer to them in that manner in any discourse with them.

I agree. The name-calling isn't warranted, but the fundamental concept is valid. I had an assistant once (R.I.P.), an old guy in his 70s who had been an avid deer hunter for some 50-60 years. Him and his old buddies bought a big deer lease every year, bagged a bunch of deer, he had mounts in his house, the whole nine yards. But he'd probably never been near a handgun in his life. Once I commented to him how some idiots wanted to ban handguns, and he got fired up and said "well, they should ban'em, good heavens, too many people out there shootin' each other, there's no use for those stupid things." End of conversation.

In other words....can someone support 2A rights....but only to a certain extent...i.e. not exercising 2A rights that might make others "uncomfortable"?

I'm curious, because I think you're either all in, or you're not.

No flames wanted, just honest discourse.

Happy 2016!

Sometimes people ask questions, and the implication is that there IS an answer out there; in many cases there isn't. This isn't a math problem.
It's not written in some holy book that it is or isn't "possible to be a partial 2A supporter."

That being said, I certainly think it's possible. I would choose not to open carry at a child's birthday party, but that doesn't mean I'm anti-2A. You would do so, however, according to your post.

Unlicensed Carry was DEAD because of Kory Watkins, CJ Grisham, CATI, OCT, and OCTC only because they pushed more people over to the other side than they brought over.

I remember watching all that. Where is that Holcomb guy in this picture? A lot of OCT members (including himself) give him full credit for OC getting passed. He claims to be personally responsible for obtaining the original 85 signatures that got the bill rolling.
