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”.

The NRA is a huge corporation that makes plenty of money pretending to protect your rights while in fact not doing an awful lot. This statement shows their real attitude toward you and your rights.
I am done defending these people.

Open carry of long guns is ho-hum in Texas. Even the Black Panthers parade down the streets of the big cities with rifles, nobody really cares. It is not illegal.

After the dragging death, Black Panthers in Jasper are armed and headed for the courthouse.

AMEN! Well said. I agree, but I may be "warming" to the idea of OC if it catches on. Especially for trips out of town. Just more comfy behind the wheel and easier to access in the event of an incident while behind the wheel like a carjacking in a strange city. When I went to the Sig Academy last summer, we trained exactly for that scenario in real vehicles both moving and static.

I agree with you. I prefer to make my own choices.

I agree.

I prefer concealed carry, however -if- my shirt tail rises or another "clothing malfunction" happens exposing my sidearm . . . I don't want it to be the cause of my being busted.
