This guy is VERY well spoken. The complete antithesis of the views of the kneejerk media about gun owners.

Why should should I always be safe when it comes to protecting myself against getting a fatal disease, why must I carry sexual prophylaxis with me if I am sexually active and yet must never carry the means of protecting myself against assault and murder if I am socially active?

There's a difference. Wearing body armor is a relatively passive defense. Bearing arms means you can go on offense beyond hand to hand combat. Nanny statists tend to get the vapors with the latter.

He is articulate, knowledgable and concise.

Good words Sir!

"To be honest? If I had been in charge of crowd control and protection, I would have arrested him regardless of the legality of such an arrest..."

Damn I hate these NRA-Elitist types that are taking over the firing line.

Infiltrator. He was planting a seed that some will think makes sense. "Sometimes the police must act outside the law." I know, ridiculous, but there are idiots everywhere, and the commie rats take advantage of them at every opportunity.

If you read further down in that post you’ll discover that he was ripped by others and he deserved it.

The Fudds in the NRA were kicked out forty years ago. Instead of sniping from the sidelines, why don’t you join the NRA and change what you don’t like.

The firing line was infiltrated by a bunch from DU and that’s why I stopped going there.

Fantastic job, Mr. Kostric!

Wonderful too to have a transcript, instead of a video clip I can’t possibly watch on my setup. Thank you, marktwain!

Yes, a firearm serves to diffuse violence. Not only by intimidation, but acting as a constant reminder to the carrier that he can't afford stupid, trivial confrontations.

The heaviest thing I put on after I first obtained a concealed weapon permit was the mantle of responsibility which comes with carrying a loaded firearm in among the general public.

Yep, you put up with a little chickensh*t here and there because you don't want it to escalate into a situation where some fool gets shot or killed over it.

Some people I have known who are extremely good at other martial arts are pretty easygoing as well, just because they can't take their weapon off and put it on the table when they get home.

An exposed arm (open carry) pre-empts an amazing amount of crap.

“The left is always talking about cultural sensitivity, well here’s a culture that maybe it’s time for them to understand.”

Yeah, American culture, which coastal elites apparently don’t (want to) get...
