Cracked weighs in on open carry

Everybody has the right to be stupid. Apply this as you wish. LOL

 

[Bigtanker]

Tatical Halloween. HA!

 

[deltaecho]

I have no idea what this means.

In regards to CC and OC:

CC is a no-brainer and should absolutely be permitted.
OC is not so easily justified. If you're not someone whose job mandates OC, you risk alarming the public. If someone with criminal intent sees you OCing, they know to incapacitate or rob you of your weapon first.

I too laughed at that one.

And yours makes you one of those "activists".

So even if I don't do your unapproved activity, I am a jackass who damages gun rights?

Give me liberty or give me light weight chains. Somehow that doesn't sound right.

Keep it up, those chains will get heavier.

You're obviously not a student of the legislative, judicial, criminal or societal history of carry methods.

You've reversed the need for justification and fabricated your own modern excuses in lieu of historically accepted norms. Carrying unconcealed has always been considered defensive in nature and required no justification. Concealment was considered to be offensive in nature and required further justification.

I'm not wearing them. And I don't ask my fellow man to do it either.

The great state of Indiana gives us our choice but I have no plans to demonstrate like some have chosen to do as a group with long guns. Demonstrations to prove a point are unnecessary and hurts the cause more than it helps.

History says otherwise.

Indiana gives us nothing. Indiana infringes upon the right to carry a handgun by requiring the purchase of a license.

Long gun carry would be the only way to exercise the right to bear arms in this state rather than the conditional privilege of bearing a handgun.

I'm not sure what "cause" it would harm to demonstrate that point, but probably not one I'm terribly interested in helping.

Here's one you guys missed from the second paragraph:

The fact that these protests kicked off just days after America's latest horrific shooting spree may have something to do with the angry backlash these guys experienced

That "fact" is a lie. OCT has been carrying rifles for at least a year. It's only been recently that the moms have developed incontinence about it.

Of course, now that it's been in print somewhere, I'm sure some of our resident anti-liberty types will begin parroting it without bothering to fact-check...

I will FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR YOUR RIGHTS...............or at least until I get a large rash to a non-vital area of my body!

This was where he lost me

But Texas gun owners don't have the right to carry their loaded handguns openly, like a cowboy. That's not a problem for most people. I've owned guns and lived in Texas for most of my adult life, and I've met very few gun owners who felt bummed that they couldn't stroll down the street with a six-gun on their hip.

I believe that in fact that is the only way they can carry openly, with an actual or replica pre 1899 cap and ball revolver.

As has been stated many times, fact checking is lost upon "journalists".
