[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2004405, member: 42"] Ahhh, there it is. The high horse of being a champion of my "rights". That right there is why you and others like you get my attention sometimes. Here's a news flash for you. Your "Association", which was conveniently officially created [I]after[/I] open carry was passed (and has a membership of how many?), does not represent me, nor does it represent the majority, or even a large minority, of Oklahomans. There is no "right" to open carry, concealed carry, or even pass gas on private property. So therefore by writing letters to Whole Foods, you are not "advocating" my rights. That being said, I freely admit you are doing some good, at least in the sense that some folks who might want to carry a gun into Whole Foods or other private establishments might eventually get to because of your action. That's cool...but it's far from defending my rights. Licensed open carry is only a t-shirt removed from licensed concealed carry. It is not even a shuffle in the direction of restoring the intent of the 2nd Amendment. If you want to advocate for my rights, lets see you get active with the legislature and work to get Constitutional Carry passed...tackling grocery stores and all-but-defending twits who make a fool of themselves and other gun owners at a polling place doesn't cut it. Post all you want about your activities, but sorry if we aren't all genuflecting in your direction because of them. I do my best to keep it civil. [/QUOTE]
