False dichotomy. There are more than two options here, it's not as if the only options available are not carrying openly at all or carrying openly at a kid's soccer game.

If you guys check it out, please correct me where I'm wrong. I don't want incorrect info to stand. I hope I did not overstep bounds by posting links and such. Overall, I hope I did not do any damage :?

Sure, if you yelled "Fire!" in a crowded theater, you have committed a tort against the patrons and the theater operator, who are all going to want to be reimbursed for ticket price/lost earnings. You are liable for this.This made a lot of sense to me. Are there any other consequences that can be applied? I got accused of having a 'false dichotomy' once :uhoh:So, running in and yelling "@#$% BUSH!" would be within your rights, as would yelling "Fire!" if there is a fire, or if there is not assuming you A: didn't cause a stampede which killed anybody and B: the theater owner hired you to do so.
In fact, if you did cause a stampede, you wouldn't be liable for "exceeding" your "limited" "right to free speech", you would be liable for causing people to be injured, something quite unrelated to and unprotected by "free speech".
What false dilemma have you been accused of manufacturing?
