Walking a parade route.

How is this any different than the civil rights movement?  There were laws on the books since slaves were freed that said blacks are considered equal citizens.  Funny that they were not considered equals until... oh wait, most people still do not consider them equal. 

There are laws on the books that say open carrying is legal.  Funny that every day it seems someone is asked to leave because they are doing something that is not illegal- it is just that noone thinks it is legal.

You're the genius that quoted a proven Communist as a reputable and worthwhile source for your argument and thought that was a legitimate source.

There is no comparison to the "civil rights" movement from the 60s and what we face today. The right to self defense is a natural right; the means by which you go about it is at question. The bodies that argue for that right of self defense are simply asking for an existing right to be observed. They are not a minority group with a separate portion of outsiders attempting to interfere with local politics and force the majority of people to agree with an idea that is completely distasteful. The policies were separate but equal back then, and are therefore completely different.

And if you really want to splinter the topic to the "civil rights" movement and race, I can also go into the topics of state's rights to decide what's best for the majority of people in that state, the data that shows that all races are not created equal, and others if you wish.

Suffice to say, you really should get a history lesson on modern American politics preferably from a source other than the local pubic scrools and other institutions of lower learning and brainwashing.

Why do we need to stage a parade to announce the legality of OC? Have you not been watching the MSM lately? Lately, OC has been all over thenews due to the Brady Bratsconstant protest over Starbucks current firearms policy.

We don't need a parade. Every time one of us goes grocery shopping, shops for project materials at a hadware store, or stops at a gas station to fill up our vehicles while OCing, we are on parade so to speek. Our sidearms are all the banner we need.

We don't need a parade. People arn't likely to approach a large group of other people that are armed to make inquirys. Each time we engage in a aprivate informative discussion with a non-carrier, we plant a seed of information that can spread to that personsfriends, families and acquaintences, likesmall wildfires that the Brady camp can't manage.

We don't need an organized parade. We already have a huge disorganized one going on daily nation wide, that hasproven quite effective in enfluencing the general public.

Normal, everyday good citizens acting responsibly as they go about their daily routines. Isn't that what you want to be accepted? Teach by example.

The antis will continue to make fools of themselves. Give them the space and room to do so w/o emulating their tactics.

Obviously, none of you guys are self-employed or is in management of a for-profit business. Promoting OC isn't any different than promoting a business.

Depending on the MSM to do your job for you is absurd. Limiting the exposure to the actions of one person is equally absurd. . But, this seems to be the norm here.

Obviously you know nothing about the members here because I am in upper management of a very successful business that is OC and firearm friendly. You're right, promoting OC is just like marketing a business in that you go and talk to people and show them that you are the best at what you offer and you reflect positively on your enterprise. Going to someone's office and telling them that they WILL give you a job/buy your product whether they like it or not sound like something a union would do and in my office will likely result in negative consequences for the one making such a preposterous statement.

If i had a salesman come to me with the same attitude that you have about promoting OC, I'd quickly boot his sorry ass out of my office and make sure the company that he represented knew that as long as that clown worked for them I wouldn't be purchasing their products.

You're the problem Mark because you don't know when to shut your freaking trap and you don't know the difference between the time for diplomacy and psy-ops and the time for more aggressive methods.

Don't need to know more than what I read here, the posts speak for themselves.

And limiting your idea of "exposure" to just yourself and your actions is even more absurd, not to mention conceited. You still can't accept that just OCing day-to-day exposes the public to OC?

One more time: think small, stay small.
If ONE OC'er is good, imagine a HUNDRED.

To quote the late, great Nathan Earl Miller, "some people live and learn, others just live."

So I guess you're just living right? Cause you sure as hell haven't learned much about getting people to rally to your cause.

Seems to me the only thing you've learned is how to be a sellout and a hypocrite. Oh and here's an obligatory 'nanner for ya. :celebrate

Yep, I imagine a hundred OCers across the state, carrying daily. Sounds like good publicity to me.
