Re: Is Open-Carry Dead for 2009?

Captain Matt wrote:Doesn't that work both ways? I'm not defending the OCD leadership who shot themselves in the foot but what about the common man who wants to carry openly when he's in the boonies? He didn't attack progun politicians and doesn't make fun of people who want to carry on campus or leave a gun in their car at work but other gun owners can make fun of his viewpoint? I see lots of people here attacking open carry using the same tactics as the Brady bunch and that behavior is as unproductive as the OCD people bashing progun politicians.

Why should he call or write to support campus carry when there's no quid pro quo?

Why should he call or write to support parking lot carry when there's no quid pro quo? Especially when that law only benefits people who choose to work for antigun companies?
So, you're saying that people who support open carry should refuse to call or write on behalf of two other bills they presumably support, unless the people who support those two bills but don't support open carry agree to call and write on behalf of open carry anyway? :confused5

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to be picky about where they work. If nobody worked for an employer with whom they have philosophical differences, few people would work.

Why should the adult college student support open-carry when you don’t support her cause, and you attack the A+ Senator who is going to try to make sure she doesn’t become a victim of a mass murderer on a Texas campus?

It is time for more people to follow the lead of SA-TX and Conagher and tell the radical open-carry supporters that their brand of activism is counter-productive and won’t be supported in Texas.

Chas.
can you point out to anyone here just where those of us who supported open carry did NOT support the other two causes you mentioned? or are those unsubstantiated claims of yours, much like the ones you accused me of in the other thread?
