Is a woman dressed like a tart asking to be raped? It is the same thing!

Your responses are so idiotic they don't merit further consideration. Don't ever respond to me again. FR is dumber purely by virtue of your idiotic posts.

Also, stop with the profanity. Your class is clearly on par with your IQ.

the jackass open carrying is my first target.

I wholeheartedly agree, but would not resort to name-calling. We are better than that here. The person open carrying makes himself/herself a target in the event they are at the location of an intended crime involving firearms as the shooter will try to neutralize whoever would be able to shoot back first.

We just passed constitutional carry in Georgia. Going home last evening saw a Black guy on a motorcycle open carrying. I look for it to be more prevalent here going forward. I guess we’ll find out if it provokes attack.

So tired of the Left incrementally getting what they want...

Open war would be more honest at this point.

Agreed. Open carry makes you target number one for both bad guys and LEO’s when the SHTF.

“Openly carrying a firearm is not a legal provocation to attack the person carrying the firearm.”


But in some places (cough cough St Louis) it can lead to felony charges if done in the presence of mostly peaceful protestors breaking into your private gated community.

Open carry is stupid unless in a combat environment.

All it does is identify the first target... like a machine gun or radio antenna in a fire-fight are bullet magnets.

No. But if shit goes sideways, the jackass open carrying is my first target.

yes, makes person target. I generally prefer concealed carry and when I do open carry, I always also have a concealed carry as back up.

If you say so. You should probably think this through. If you open carry, you are a target.

I agree, so do I. Why make ourselves targets? I would prefer to be unnoticed until I had to draw. Why let someone sneak up, conk me over the head and take it?

There are instances where antifa provokes conservatives so they could kill them.

That's what they were attempting in Denver when Matthew Dolloff shot Lee Keltner. Dolloff was twitchy, knowing that they were trying to bait a conservative into reaching for a firearm - and then he overreacted when Keltner used the pepper spray instead.

IMO, that case was dropped because the media was neck-deep in planning the whole thing.

Many on the left believe that a short skirt is a provocation to rape.
