Only military and police should be allowed to "openly carry", because they're actually providing a service. Open carrying civilians are just showing off.
You are what's wrong with America. You are probably ok with banning certain types of weapons too - cause civilians have no right owning "those baaaad guns".
It's statements like this that help us lose ground on our second amendment rights.
You may be comfortable handing over your liberties casually but I refuse with contempt!
I can and will wear my pistol/ shotgun /rifle wherever I please. I am not providing a "service" or trying to show off. I am protecting me and mine and those around me that cannot protect themselves.
I urge you to get a better sense of the "big picture" and leave the herd of other sheep.
Alright, you obviously don't know what you're talking about. Protecting you and yours and those around you? Protection from what exactly? Who is out there trying to harm you exactly? Oh by all means carry your guns around openly if it makes you feel better about your personal well being.
Oh, nothing I said has to do with the second amendment; I'm all for the ownership of firearms and free carry and I have by no means "surrendered" my liberties or freedoms. And yes I am for banning of certain weapons to civilians, because I've actually been in the military of this great nation, and civilians don't need military grade or "those baaaad guns" which you so cutely put. So we simply allow civies to own grenade launchers and RPG's for no other purpose than because they just can? No. Sorry. Certain weapons are banned for reasons and I'm all for that. Yes I'm a civilian NOW, but I've got my fill.
Civilians don't need full automatics, they don't need heavy machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, mines, or tanks, and they certainly don't need to be openly carrying to show off, and yes; for a civilian to openly carry they are in fact showing off because if others can SEE it, you are SHOWING it.
All you self-entitled punks is what's wrong with America. I served my country and as far as I'm personally concerned I still am. Secure our borders, keep American citizens armed, defend this state, this country, and for God's sake, and maintaining the peace, keep your f***ing heat concealed unless you want to cause trouble for an excuse to pull out your weapon for "personal defense".
