I agree as well...You're being skinny and un-shod is a terrible life to live...Douva wrote:Charles L.

One of the arguments against OC is that ant-gun businesses will learn how to legally prohibit open carriers as well as CHLers. That seems like a good thing, now I would no longer have to wonder if my purchases were supporting someone with political views I do not support.
Chas.
If I start only patronizing businesses owned by people who agree with me 100% on every political issue, I'll die hungry and naked.
BTW, my argument to the whole state capitol metal detector issue, and "special CHL line" still bothers me...Even though I agree that we should not push the edges of this envelope just to make a political statement of carrying either concealed or openly, at the cost of those that want to protect what we have already, I still believe we are being forced to make a decision, by others, who want to discourage the carrying of firearms for lawful self defensive purposes in certain places which should by law not be off limits to us carrying within those facilities...
"ELB" and I have been discussing this, and he has made some fabulous points, but I respectfully dissagree with some of them...I will soon find out myself when we start getting cranked up for the next legislative session I suppose...
This begs the question that if we are going to be subjected to an illegal screening, just to gain access to a facility that is not off-limits to us in the first place...Then I would support Open Carry, just so that we can remove all doubt about who we are and what we are about...
Then it would be up to me, to choose to carry in whatever manner I choose to do so at that time...
Just thought I would throw this monkey in the wrench to give some a headache...
