Some jerk starts showing his rod in a restaurant, I’m going to be in reasonable fear for my life and the lives of others.

People who are knowledgable about guns or support gun rights never write using ganster slang for guns like “rod, packing heat, roscoe” etc.

Just saying.

And what is reasonable is based not on your reaction, but on normal other people. To suggest that you are in fear for your life means that you have the right to use deadly force. Which brands you as pretty much insane for thinking that mere display of a gun deserves your delivering the death penalty.

You clearly have had no firearm training of the type that one gets when qualifying for a carry license.

You have, inadvertently, made your point. I have no concern about concealed carry folks. They are generally among the most responsible folks in the community. As you say,

You can choose to align yourself with the Black Panther types who show up at school board meetings with their guns, but if I'm in a restaurant and a bunch of guys brandishing guns walks in, I'm leaving if I can, and doing what I need to if I can't. Some of us remember the guy who open carried into the Luby's in Killeen.
