Health Reform Supporter Shows Up At Protest With Revolver

[Ban Hammer 13,369]

Wearing a gun on your hip in public, in 2009, when not a police officer makes you look like a 'tard regardless of your opinion on health care...

heaven forbid someone exercise all of their constitutional rights around you.

Heaven forbid you might actually agree there are places where carrying a gun might not be appropriate or responsible behaviour regardless of what the law/constitution allows. - like that's ever going to happen

Do people regularly take their guns to church for example?

why don't you go there and look

whether carrying a firearm is appropriate or not should never be an issue, but i know plenty of the gun grabbers will do their best to make it so.

I think this is a complicated enough issue without introducing firearms into the equation as some sort of BS symbolic message. To me, it seems vaguely threatening too - especially given that emotions seem to be running high at these events to say the least.

I agree. I don't think anyone from any "side" should be carrying a weapon openly at these events. It's just moronic and reduces the discussion to grade school behavior.

if the person(s) are legally carrying it's a non-issue. that is ... until someone else decides to make it an issue.

True. That reminds me of the assumptions made by others when I holla holla with my blingage and wear my Ecko jeans halfway down my rear end. And my tags-on hat sideways yo.

pics?

topic:

the comments/ pics of open carry are well published. what about the comments/ pics of those who have a CHL and carry to the events?

What your you doing all interested in pics of me for?

CHL, where permitted... comment:

'I sure hope they're not as apparently loonie as the ones we can see flaunting.'

the imagination went into overdrive ... could see you wearing garb this under your lab coat.

concealed should not be seen.

as for open carry ... if it's legal there is no problem. who knows ... there might be 30 or more concealed to the one not.

Guns in churches - the dudes in the old Westerns would never have approved of such disgraceful behaviour.

are you watching too many late night movies again?

Indeed. The law is the law. Idiocy is also idiocy, but that is a separate topic that sometimes overlaps with law abiding citizens.

Lab coats are cool. But mine does not tend to cross the lab door often.

Should not be an issue? I think there are plenty of people who would be a lot more comfortable with the idea of having armed citizens if they showed some understanding of when and where gun toting is appropriate. The very idea that wearing guns in church might be reasonable and responsible just shows the complete contempt that gun owners show towards their unarmed fellow citizens.

Wonder if I could get away with this at my local pool...

Don't know about pools but I've seen it happen in the same area as surfers. Crazy I know.

You can never be too careful, there are strange folk abroad...

Ah but we all know its the furriners who are the cause of the mischief.

Just today I was reading that immigrants and international travelers are being blamed for increasing outbreaks of bed bugs in NYC.

you're right in that regard - most citizens have no clue that it could be legal.

btw, appropriate is determined by law........not you.

Really getting off topic.

If you really want health insurance, all you have to do is to show up with money.

In your opinion is there is no place that the gun owner should hesitate to pack his pistol? Not hospitals, not churches and not schools? Everywhere is good to go if you have the relevant paperwork?

Regardless of whether some things are 'allowed' in times gone by most people chose not to exercise their 'rights' out of courtesy and respect for others. Are you saying that courtesy and respect are irrelevant concepts in this day and age?

it is nice to show courtesy and respect to those exercising their rights ..

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Courtesy has nothing whatsoever to do with the exercise of rights, but with the exercise of social behaviours appropriate to a given situation.

Hence its perfectly fine to have sex in any room of your house and on any surface, but its probably not a good idea to do it on the dining room table with your in-laws present.

Perhaps a few manners classes are needed in this day and age...

How does that make any sense? There are places where guns are not appropriate and to bring them into such a situation just because you can is disrespectful. Believing that that the gun owner's rights should trump everyone elses in every situation is ignorance that your grandfathers would not have accepted. You'd have had a clip round the ear for such a suggestion.

Rights before manners.
