[QUOTE="jdagreek, post: 1814683, member: 14916"] Yep, and it was only 150 years when Jim Bridger was trapping Beaver along the Wind River area in Wyoming as well as helping homesteaders on the way from the East to Oregon. And that was about the same time that Bridger was scouting for the military fighting the Indian wars as well. And, it was only about 135 years ago that a local Sheriff and his posse from Hugoton, Kansas were chasing some bank robbers out of Kansas into what was then No Man's Land [Oklahoma Panhandle]. The posse had chased the outlaws into an area just East of present day Hooker, Oklahoma and were bedded down in an alfalfa field when the outlaws doubled back on the posse and slaughtered them. That was the straw that broke the camel's back causing the US Congress to attach No Man's Land to the body of Oklahoma thus creating law in what is now the Oklahoma Panhandle. Times change and with the changing of the times, peoples opinions about issues change as well. I have read most of this thread and I didn't read anything that suggested that people suggested anyone wanting to "Open Carry" were either tactically stupid or insensitive to others feeling on the issue. What I read was that most people didn't think they open carry much at all. Most suggested that they might open carry on private property or when out hiking or riding bikes etc. For myself, I will likely never open carry unless, I am out in the boonies or in some situation where I think it is warranted for some reason. Heck, I may never open carry, but I don't really care what you do. Or, for that matter, I don't really care what others do on the issue. I don't think you are stupid for open carrying. But, I do think it is a little silly to not think people's opinions have changed in the last 120 years. I am way more worried about where this country is going on other issues than just gun laws. Do you know the Mayor of LA is trying to pass a city ordinance preventing anyone from selling/buying a soft drink in a containers over 16 ounces? Now that is fricking stupid, but crap like this is happening every damn day. My greatest fear is Obama and his ilk and interest rates over 5%. As when interest rates get to the 5 - 7% rate the interest on our national debt is going to bankrupt us. Then you will likely see rioting in the streets. That is what I worry about ... not what some thought on open carry 120 years ago. [/QUOTE]
