And flip-flopping on gun control is going to get him nominated by the Republican Party.

It won't be flip flopping, as soon as enough of the public gets sick of these fools walking around in public scaring old ladies and children with their non-sense, right, middle, and left America will believe he is doing us a big favor.

You may be right aeb. I just think if this continues the public outcry will get to the point that the politicians will have to do something to save their own skins.

I have to agree with you.

I'm glad I haven't seen that. I would have to tell them what idiots they are.

So politicians are going to make open carry long guns illegal because some folks feel uncomfortable with it? If people open carried it would become common and people wouldn't freak out. Guns don't make people bad, people make guns bad. Just because you don't agree with something that another person does that makes them an idiot? There are groups out there that think people who hunt are idiots, does that mean we are and that politicians should make it illegal? I don't like seeing two guys making out in public, but its not illegal and I can't do anything about it. I think ill pressure my lawmakers to make it illegal.

I would love to see the look on the open carry folks faces if others showed up to their planned events and as thay are walking through Walmart someone screamed "He Has A Gun...Run...Run. I bet they would stuff their AK-47's under a bunch of pillows and head for the door.

Quite the imagination you have there... Actually I seem this happen twice last week, even the chl carriers were hiding their guns. SMH give be a break

WTF does this mean? This thread is about open carry Douchebags.

Yep read all the posts before your post. We are tired of open carry douchebags doing stupid things and screwing it up for us. DB.

You tell me what it means dumb a$$, You posted the story

This sounds like a 16yo thought of this? You on your way to class, tardy bell just rang.

Tar boilers and chicken pluckers should be tarred and feathered!!!!

Some of your open carry advocates and promoters:





Is that the image you're looking for?

Yup.

Not sure what your trying to suggest, though...

That you are part of the problem NOT the soultion. You do not seem to grasp the concept that you are HURTING the cause not helping. With gun rights, perception is reality. When you march and waive guns in people faces, they assume ALL gun owners are like you.

Hmmm... There is no picture of me out in public with a rifle, as the only place I've open carried a rifle was on private land for hunting or shooting. So by supporting me fellow Americans decision to exercise their second amendment rights, then I am "hurting our cause"? Well I think that anyone that wishes to put limits on other people's rights based upon their own irrational comfort levels is hurting our entire country.

And I still don't understand the point of the picture you posted. I have absolutely no problem with those guys open carrying their rifles. Please explain what the problem is with those guys open carrying their rifles. I will gladly discuss it with you.

I'd go so far as to say those guys in that picture are the epitome of what the 2nd amendment stands for.

And I'd be happy to discuss it.

You mean they'll see me exercising my right and not shooting anyone? Crazy! I used to cringe when my son was learning to ride his bike. I didn't want him to fall and injure himself but the more I watched, the less uneasy I became. I think the same will be true with firearms, and those ignorant to them. Also a novel idea for anti-guns folks is moving to a state that does not allow it. I love texas and I love the mind set, and I'll move when the liberty takers out number us.

so only active duty (and reserve when training) should be allowed to open carry firearms? What about our civilian police forces, I would hate for them to have to carry concealed as well.

Like I said before, there were stores that put up no firearm policies after conceal carry became a reality. The nay sayers who said it will be like the Wild West, and the streets would run with blood were proven wrong. The hullabaloo died down and we're still conceal carrying. In fact, it's more popular than it has ever been. Several states already have open carry and there have been no legislation to repeal that, and no other national chains making policies against it. Why would TX be different?
