For once.

Divide and conquer based on race and wealth.  

84 people from all walks of life were run over with a 40 ton truck the other day and while it was still an active attack the Democrats assembled on the steps of Congress to protest guns in America.  

These animals have been given an open season permit by BHO. Want to put a quick stop to it ? Maybe LE on all levels should protest with their own sit in and refuse to answer calls nation-wide for 24 hours.

The KKK retards are the last people they need to worry about right now. However like Sun Tzu wrote " All warfare is based on deception " so if they want to keep looking at toothless rednecks for a counter strike more power to them

for an extremely powerful Colt 1911.  I think open carry is irresponsible because it puts an impossible burden on the police in a situation like the Dallas shooting spree.  It being Texas there were a couple of dozen guys openly carrying AR-15s and wearing paramilitary garb.  Luckily, when shots rang out they cut and ran like pussies.  But the police were trying to track down a gunman with his own AR-15.  They had to identify and deal with all these other guns out there.  In the time that was lost, perhaps more cops were shot.  There certainly could have been.
And can you imagine if those open carry folks had begun to fire back?  And most likely at the wrong person?  Voila!  Circular firing squad.  Here's what the Dallas Mayor said:
Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings joined John Dickerson on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” to explain the problems that surfaced Thursday night as police were attempting to subdue the shooter.

“You know, in dealing with the law of gun holding, you can carry a rifle legally, and when you have gunfire going on, you usually go with the person that’s got a gun,” Rawlings explained, explaining why many people were arrested that night. “And so our police grabbed some of those individuals, took them to police headquarters, and worked it out and figured out that they were not the shooters.”

Therein lies the biggest problem with open carry laws. “But that is one of the real issues with the gun right issues that we face, that in the middle of a firefight, it’s hard to pick out the good guys and the bad guys,” he said.

Rawlings continued that those open-carrying complicated the moment when police were trying to stop the shooter. “I wasn’t there real time to kind of see it go on, but the common sense would tell you, you don’t know where the gunfire’s coming from. There were individuals that ran across the gunfire. They were in the body armor, camo gear with rifles slung over their shoulders, so it sure took our eye off the ball for a moment. We got them out of the way, we figured out what was happening, and we did our business.”

 
“There was also the challenge of sorting out witnesses from potential suspects,” Max Geron, a Dallas police major told the Dallas Morning News. “Texas is an open carry state, and there were a number of armed demonstrators taking part. There was confusion on the radio about the description of the suspects and whether or not one or more was in custody.”

Why is open carry a good thing

Would a no open carry law have stopped the recent killings to which you refer? Ask yourself that before we curtail any rights.

They will put the rifle in a box or a trunk of a car and conceal it, won't they? It isn't the law abiding citizens participating in these murders it is people who don't give a fuck about the law(s) to begin with and people who end up dead, so they were on a suicide mission to begin with and managed to take a few blues lives with them.

No, I don't have all the answers but I just think the murderous criminal mind will find a way around any law you deem necessary as this asshole in Nice did by using a truck to commit mass murder in a country that has one of the toughest gun laws in the world. He just side stepped the law

I wouldn't wanna be in Cleveland for the next 4 days.

But my mind is open on this one.

walk around letting the scumbag phucks know I'm armed . If I was the bad guy the first thing I'm doing is taking out the obvious threats and that's the moron showing everyone he's carrying . It's also embarrassing when some douche bag like the guy who walked into Hartsfield with a M4 hanging on him . He made that State look stupid to geeks passing through the world's busiest airport . If it's an event about firearms that's different .  

IMHO - and I don't have many humble opinions - open carry is just like the jacked up truck and vette dudes . It says you have a small pecker.  

I teach the shit and always let them know my opinion on flagging yourself

I've rarely carried a weapon outside my property.

The few times I carried outside my property, my weapon was  concealed.  
    The only reason I carried those  times I had  legitimate reasons.  
   
   One time was at Union Grove.  
  The year before marauding gangs were going site to site  robbing and stealing liquor.  
    Not trying to be racist, just stating facts, they were White gangs of thugs doing the robbing.
    I wasn't there the year of the robberies but a good friend of mine was  robbed.  

  When I went the next year I didn't have liquor but I wasn't going to put up with being robbed when I'm a great  shot with a pistol.
    Fortunately I didn't have to shoot someone between the eyes.  
   
   I don't see the point in making little old ladies nervous with a gun exposed in my hip holster, staring at  her face, when I'm buying coffee in the city or a country store.  
  Plus, if my weapon is on display for all to see, I'd have to stay alert to avoid a thug grabbing it and running.  
   
     The only way I'll carry, a shoulder holster hidden by my coat or baggy shirt.  
   No way I'd  put a pistol in my pocket.   I was raised around guns, pistol in the pocket is city slicker idiocy.  
   
    I would never carry a rifle in the city.   IMO that's goofy.
   
   I have walked from farm to farm in the desolate countryside, carrying a rifle, years ago when a violent convict had escaped the road gang and LE put a bounty on his head.
   I can hit paper easy, from 600 yards with my  rifle.  I wouldn't have gone for the kill shot, I would have  tried to blow out  his knees if I had seen that varmint.
       
    If I were in charge I would make it illegal to open carry weapons at peaceful protests.
  It won't affect me either way, you'll never catch me protesting with a bunch of LE haters
