All true, but it is just as effective to sue the bastards into oblivion, too. Teach them a lesson they won’t forget. That’s what has been done to the right for decades, including taking away, through judgments, ranches and farms from people who are in the path of illegal aliens and dared to enforce their right to no trespassing. The SPLC is famous for this as are other so-called “civil rights” legal groups. Ambassador? Fine. But in this case, the courtroom will serve as a better teacher.
Whoa. Most of what I am talking about are local folks, your neighbors, who just don’t know any better. I’d save the litigation for scoundrels who truly deserve it.
I remember back in the ‘80’s, when while open carry was legal in my State, it was pretty uncommon among polite people. Well, I walk into a local store run by a friend of mind, and I see an evil looking individual talking to the clerk I know.
Scrawny, dirty blue jeans and a t-shirt, long black hair and beard, with a .45 in a holster in the back of his pants. So I quietly went to the back, to be out of sight, yet keep an eye on things. I wasn’t armed myself, but started to look for what could be used as a weapon.
Finally, the character walked out peacefully, so I went up to the clerk and mentioned his gun. “Oh, that’s just *officer* such-and-such”, he replied. “He comes in here all the time.”
This was a good lesson to me. While my safety gene still makes me not trust anyone around me with a gun, having known a lot of dumbasses, I long hence changed my focus from the gun to the person.
A lot of Americans need to relearn gun culture. And I think it’s better that they learn it the friendly way.
