I'm talking about a certain group of people who claim to be 2nd Amendment supporters yet will turn and devour another gun owner/bearer because they don't agree about a specific aspect of that individuals expression or exercise of a right. For example, castigating someone who has an incident with LEOs because they open carried at a childs soccer game or open carried to a polling booth. THAT is what i'm talking about.

I don't blame him for getting "really annoyed."

If any of your reasons for carrying a firearm includes, "a form of protest," you should REALLY reconsider. Such an ignorant reason that gives the rest a bad name.

You are aware you signed up for an account on OPENcarry.org no? Out of curosity, what did you think this website, called OPENcarry.org was going to advocate when you filled out the information to get an account here?

OK, but I fail to see how that is relevant to this thread...just a random vent?

He's accusing catass of being one of those anti-gun gun owners for not supporting open carry as a 'form of protest.'

Mmmkay...the way he wrote it made it look kinda random. Perhaps if everybody could use the "quote" function a lot of misunderstandings could be avoided.

I know, I ask too much. :p

What gets me is the lawyer said "The SC got it wrong". It doesn't matter what a lawyer thinks! IT IS THE THELAW! I think seat-belt laws are wrong, but its the "LAW" so I ware them. But to bear and posses firearms is a right not a privilege like driving. NO, IFS ands or BUTS. That simple!

The only problem I have with that is that it states that someone in a wheel chair can't have a firearm. But yeah...back in the day everyone who was able was in the militia...thats how the founders viewed it.
cite please ?

As I see it when the time comes and you are able to hold a weapon and fire it, you are able bodied.

He started telling me how the SC got it wrong and there is no individual right to bear arms, and that theres that little problem of, "a well regulated milita."
Both the Militia Act and §311 specifically mention "unorganized militia".

Happy now? :quirky

thats just my point...YOU see it that way, but some panty waist gun grabbin kool-aid drinker might not see it that way and say if you are in a wheel chair than you are not able bodied and as such are denied carrying a firearm. THEN that same gun grabbing kook will turn around and state that since the law discriminates against physically handicapped people that it violates civil rights legitslation and as such must be done away with for everyone.

Now, sane people would say reword the law so able bodied was altered to include everyone but the gun grabbin crazies would argue that its all ready a poisoned well and they will try this bull end around to erode our 2nd Amendment rights.

Thats all I was sayin.

I'm new hear but after reading this thread am awfully confused.



I can't figure out what was being protested by carrying. It can't be protesting that you can't carry, that you can't own etc. because you obviously can or you wouldn't be.



When I think of protest I think of standing up agains a wrong and not necessarily a potential future wrong that may or may not occur.



Comparing the type of protest stated with the lawyer to that of Martin Luther King Jr. or any other great member of US citizenry that fought to correct an injustice is simply wrong. I don't see a lot of people fighting for get gun rights. Heller was an example however most of us have gun rights and while we are fighting to keep them carrying in protest is IMO lame. Carrying for protection is fine.

Not for not but Im a little confused about your incorrect spellings and poor grammar. That being said, the protest comes with the fact that MLK could walk down the street, Rosa Parks could ride on the bus etc. but the harrassment and indignity shown toward them was unacceptable and as such had to be protested.

In cases such as mine, Mtn Jack, soccer mom, Pa Patriot, Gnbrotz and others, even though we have the freedom of carrying the injustice that is levied upon us by some in law enforcement, politicians and others is something that must be stood up against.

And as for future wrongs that you are unwilling to fight against, I quote Ronald Reagan by saying: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

In other words, either you move forward or you are moved back. I guess you won't raise a fuss until after they take your gun from you, eh Redhawk?
