With rights come responsibilities and all rights are subject to limitations.

No. They don't. Well, up until 1934 they didn't.

We have a Right to both KEEP and to BEAR armaments. It doesn't stipulate what kind of armaments nor the manner in which they should be born. During the Founders time, it was rare to find a firearm small enough to conceal in any practical manner.

The Left boldly and arrogantly makes in-roads dismantling our freedoms on a daily basis. Do you really think playing this "softly" is going to reverse that?

This remarkable, exceptional country was built on Biblical principles by the intelligent men known as the Founding Fathers. Guns guarantee our freedom and secure our liberties as granted by the Almightly as a Natural Right.

In my opinion, carrying a visible firearm into a restaurant, as done by the Patriots of Open Carry Texas, is the equivalent of carrying a Bible into such an establishment.

The Founders did not have the the nineteenth amendment to contend with.

I think patience, guile, and subtlety are more effective than arrogance, truculence, and flagrance. And I think open carry should be legal and the exercise of that right should be reserved for situations that require it. That is not sitting in the back of the bus. That is being a responsible adult. Like it or not, rights come with responsibilities and limitations. We are under a microscope right now and public sentiment on this issue has proved highly labile. Patience, subtlety, guile and steadfast determination are what we need right now, not videos of bearded men in restaurants with assault rifles.
