Too late, the damage is done.
We have met the enemy, and he is us.
As an aside, in general I am not a fan of open carry. Not that I think it shouldn’t be done at times and some places.
Personally, in the manner of my self defense, I prefer concealed. I just as soon surprise “them”.
why is all the above provided if the authors name not included....... ?
the NRA has it’s uses for conservatives. but never make the mistake of assuming the NRA is conservative.
We had some activists "pushing the boundaries" with open carry in California a few years back. The net result is that open carry got banned there in 2012.
Why is the NRA employing anti-gun staffers??
they are only doing so b/c it backfired on them.
All legally carried self-defense items, (pepper spray, knife, impact weapon, firearm), are meant to be “felt” and not “seen”. “Concealed” give the good guy the advantage.
I have a concern that the NRA is gradually becoming infiltrated at the top by those who purposes are not gun liberty, but a different, perhaps corporate attitude that seeks to subvert gun liberty.
They achieve this infiltration with the promise of corporate wealth, and perhaps they do deliver it, for a while. But their purpose, their real agenda, is to establish dependency. “It is easier to get a lot of money from a dozen corporations than it is to get a little money from tens of thousands of rank and file members.”
I have this dubious frame of mind, because this most recently happened to the Boy Scouts, to their detriment.
The left is truly masterful at such infiltration and subversion. Hundreds of charities, foundations, and clubs have been taken over, and their original purpose discarded in favor of the leftist agenda.
So the question needs to be asked: what about the NRA?
I don’t care if they did. The words went out under the aegis of the NRA. I EXPECT protectors of my 2A freedom to whom I have given not an insignificant amount of money to be RELENTLESS in its management of that argument so basic.
This one unmanaged slip of information has done real damage. Damage that I do not choose to financially support any longer.
I hear NRA ‘intructors’, ‘range supervisors’ and other so-called NRA-affiliated connection saying all the time “treat EVERY weapon as if it’s loaded.”
A nice sentiment. Why doesn’t the NRA treat it’s staffers’ words and communications similarly.
I’m done with them.
The staffer should be fired! Clearly, he is not pro-gun, he is a Democrat plant.
