Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gun rights activists test Walmart request not to open-carry guns into store

I ain’t from Texass, I am from Nebraska, and yes open carry was the norm here until 2005.

We fought for decades to get Concealed Carry, so why are these guys upset? I'd much rather have a weapon that the bad guys can't see until they are looking down my barrel.

if trump would just ban bump stocks we'd all be safe.

ok. so we are gaming now. and that's your choice, and i'm not sayin' it's a bad one.

but is it the only option? ya wanna rule out everything else?

we know that open carry is somewhat persona non grata.

i never fought for concealed carry, a tax & a license.

but people are free to choose, and i'm good w/that.

Your open carrying in Walmart so I've got all this started anyway bad plan

Pretty damn blue in my area of southern Wisconsin and I’ve seen 2 people open carrying this week. It’s not uncommon at all in this town. For the most part nobody GAF.

It’s the retreads that open carry in groups and/or walk around with rifles that really do the most harm.

Even during deer season, or just at gun shows?

Yup. That's doing nothing but pokin' the bear and asking for trouble.







I don't see that as a problem if that's part of the cultural make-up of the area. It's common along the road system in Alaska outside L48er-infested urban areas. The problem is most of the nation has been systematically pussified and sterilized from reality and they become problems for us when we do normal things that they've been indoctrinated against.

Nobody’s gaming Gus, we had to fight for 10 years to get a concealed carry law passed. We are and always were an open carry state. Caused a lot of ominous looks when walking into a store with a gun in plain view. Under certain circumstances you might have got off for carrying concealed under the prudent man theory, but it was an expensive proposition. Right now I am good to carry without you knowing it in 38 states which is cool. Here if you want to carry an AR and a couple handguns in the open it’s perfectly legal, just like it’s perfectly legal for you to look like an idiot doing so.

what does the "majority" of the culture want us to do? i say let's understand the need and comply.

that's where we are once again with feeling. pay the license tax, and feel free to serve.

maybe we should just leave our guns at home, and be at one with the culture?

And when the majority of the culture just wants you, and those like you to die, are you just going to "understand the need and comply."?

according to an large amount of the rank & file of so-called gun-toters, that's exactly the plan, and direction to which we are heading.

but the culture rules all. it's a given. they've already got a ton of support from the licensed gun-toters who travel with us.

i mean, let's get real: do the work, buy the license, and pay the tax, and hide the gun. makes perfect sense actually.

please don't think about hiding the gun without a license. but to show the gun is obviously an arrogant, & offensive act.

the culture is asking us respectfully to become more pc, and licensed gun-toters are complying hand over fist.

some think we should just begin leaving our guns at home, given all the good they do? but, is that true?

Gus, I don’t give a damn. I carry every day, all day. When the pants go on so does a gun, when the pants come off so does the gun. The license or tax as you put it just allows me to do the same thing in 38 states as what I do at home. If I want to conceal then I conceal. If I don’t, then I don’t. My choice and mostly I choose to just not let any Tom, Dick and Harry know what I have or don’t have.

i have no problem with your decisioning dear friend.

i wish you and yours well.

i'm hopeful you can wish me the same.

I’d say the “majority of the culture” just doesn’t want to be confronted, intimidated, or antagonized by a bunch of flamers who feel they’re entitled to do so.



It’s that simple.

birdwatcher is that you?

nah. and i understand the shifts occurring in the culture.

the gun-toters w/licensing given taxes paid are adjusting very well.

why bother to pay a tax to conceal a hidden gun? just leave it at home?

Except for the peacock factor, why would anyone want to carry openly?



P

Open Carry is legal in Texas, like it or not.

Hard to believe the number of folks who WANT a license to excercise their RIGHT to bear arms.
