I know we have the “right” ... but it’s BLING. And stupid. Inflame these people and they’ll take the damn guns away from us ... and if you think they can’t right now, look at Socialized Medicine and CO2 limits, they couldn’t do that either could they? Yeah, I’m going to get a lot of “from my cold dead hands” comments on this one. I appreciate having my weapon on me at all times, but I don’t have to tell the world it is there. It begs for bad guys to take it from me and limits my ability to surprise a bad guy. Quit screwing around with the libs until we get some protection in congress, then make ANY kind of carry legal when the issue belongs to us. Right now, NOTHING belongs to us!
What good is the right to carry if you are so intimidated by the pressure of the media and the left that you never use it?
A right that is not exercised is a right that is lost.
“Inflame these people and they’ll take the damn guns away from us...”
Aw, nut up already.

Would you risk the comfort and peace, or a life without conflict, by being resistant? There may be times when you are harrassed by a LEO, due to excersizing your rights, because he is fed up with people calling in a MWAG, when all that person has to do is conform and get a CCWP. I have to ask. Is this not just a small price to pay? We are not being asked to shed blood to defend this right. We are only required to come to grips with our fears. The fear of being targeted as a non conformist trouble maker, or the fear of being harrassed by the authorities. There are people in this world, that believe so strongly in thier causes, that they are willing to not only shed blood, but to actually die for them. I say take a deep breath, and step out into the light of day, and face your fears. It will be the first step, that carries you down the path to bravery. Every time you win you become more confident. Learn your rights, and start winning. “Amen brother! I for one am very willing to be “harassed” and scrutinized for my right to bear ARMS, and for my defence of all other GOD given rights that are so well defined in the Constitution of these United States.
As Patrick Henry so eloquintly put it, “.............Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH”.
