I’m not sure how long it has been going on, but I noticed it particularly after the Sandy Hook incident.

Thanks for your reply.

Do I detect a hint of ozone in the air?

Why the panty twist over having an article excerpted?

Were this the ‘old’ FR...

“Watts also told me that the women inside the restaurant were scared because Open Carry Texas is “like the Taliban” and could feasibly have planned to open fire. “

Restaurant cook could have easily hit them over their heads with a frying pan.

The waitress could have easily scalded them with hot coffee.

Every driver they passed on their way to the restaurant could have easily driven head on into their vehicle.

Etc, etc, etc....

“Watts also told me that the women inside the restaurant were scared because Open Carry Texas is “like the Taliban” and could feasibly have planned to open fire. “

Let us examine this idiocy. An organization devoted to legalizing and normalizing the safe, legal open carrying of firearms would somehow have "feasibly planned" to open fire on unarmed people?

and this action would promote the cause of Open Carry Texas, how?

Leftists never make any sense.

Restaurant cook could have easily hit them over their heads with a frying pan.

IMO, that would have little affect on those women.

I remember thinking some of the news stories were going over the top back when Jim Brady was shot protecting President Reagan.

And pretty much every "blood in the streets" bit of hyperbole ever since.

RE :”What did you think “open carry” would look like? Because they display their gun they’re intimidating and bullies?”

Did they invite the wimmin to go to Hooters with them?

Thanks for the tip about the troll. Will be on the lookout for posts from him.

[Hot Tabasco]

Why this one? Why now?

I think we know why.

If your meaning of "we" includes the mouse in your pocket then you might be right.

As for the rest of us, you're far off base on this thread dude...........

[ricmc2175]

Are you an idiot or just in severe need of calling attention to yourself. Fake as in misrepresented. Not at the location represented, nor documenting the claim you advance, nor showing the cogent context. Thus, fake and a part of fakery.

[jttpwalsh]

Good point. For some reason, though, I’ve only noticed ‘terrified’, fairly recently, but you are correct.

Thanks!

[TigersEye]

I think we know why.

Because you're a troll!?!

My business used to be located in this shopping center. The Black-eyed Pea is about 50 yards from Blue Mesa. The Hooters is across the street. And, wrong, R2nd, there is a video showing TOC being questioned by nearby Kennedale police, who neither detained nor arrested the members. Arlington PD declined to do anything about them. Why should they be arrested when it is legal to open carry long guns in Texas.

[Robert Teesdale]

It's a completely disingenuous attempt to portray a harmless group photograph as an armed ambush at ready. As such, it simply fills me with contemptuous pity for the idiots who attempted to pass it off as such.

"Feasibly prepared to open fire" is also... simply beyond absurd. It is indefensible meta-stupidity, to put it kindly.

“...caring those gun control Mom’s...”

Me???

Nah... I ain’t scary... I’d just moon the dumb bitches and tell em “Put a Liplock On My Ol’ Love Porkchop” and go on my merry way...

And THEN I’d show them the old “This is My rifle.... and this is my gun... This one’s for shooting... and THIS one’s for Fun...”

See? I’m a nice guy!

[sickoflibs]

RE :”See? I’m a nice guy!”

Would you invite them along on your trip to Hooters afterward.

[GOPsterinMA]

“Ol’ Love Porkchop”

You friggin’ BEAST!!! :)

[Dead Corpse]

Thanks for the update!
