[QUOTE="oklaccer, post: 2266986, member: 6156"] This needs to be spread far and wide, especually amongst the "I'm going to rub your nose in my rights" open carry retards. Communication is an interesting thing, people tend to see only the main points and lose the finer points. The focus of your statement, without any clarification or qualification would lead people to believe that your opinion is that all open carry people are open carry retards. If so, at least you are in good company, this forum is full of like minded individuals. In years past, concealing a firearm was an act of cowardice, no self respecting person would even think of concealed carry. Only cowards and criminals would hide their firearm. Over time, it grew in use and acceptance by the law enforcement crowd and the general public as well. It has grown to a point that it has become the preferred choice of carry for many. Society has taken the "out of sight, out of mind" to a whole new level. The sheep are sheepier, and want to continue to be so. The past few years, the sheepdogs have been increasingly outspoken and active. They want to be sheepdogs. They want the wolves to know they are sheepdogs. Now the sheep are seeing the sheepdog again and it unsettles them. So be it. You want to run around looking like sheep, go ahead. Don't hate the sheepdog. Don't work against the sheepdog. From what I have seen and read on here, the main reasons people don't like open carry is some sort of fear. Fear of being seen carrying a firearm. Fear of what others may say. Fear of being the first target. Fear of someone wanting to take their gun away. Fear of having to go somewhere else when their chosen business doesn't fully support their choice. Fear of being told to leave. It gets covered up a lot by "personal choice", but the bottom line is still the bottom line. The CC crowd and the OC crowd should be working together instead of in-fighting. It is interesting that the negative action of "slapping an ally in the face" is exactly what you did to the OC crowd with your first statement. [/QUOTE]
