An armed society is a polite society.

[Savage Beast]

Every human being as the right to self-protection. He is endowed this right by God, not government, and it is enshrined in the US Constitution.

If government fails to protect the individual citizen, he has the right to protect himself.

He also has the right to protect himself from government, or anything else, if necessary.

Stop saying that!
It could only possibly be true if open carry was not only permitted by actually practiced in statistically meaningful numbers.
Furthermore there is considerable hostility toward open carry advocates on all the gun forums.
You cant have it both ways.
Pick one only, either “Open carry is stupid!”
“I dont want to give up the elmentof surprise”
“Open Carry makes you a target”
or “An armed society is a polite society”
“More guns less crime”
“Guns deter criminals.”
Quit with the contradictions.
Pick one idea and stay with it!
