I concur. Your question above is illogical.Why should your right to carry trump my right to take my family out without having to worry about a bunch of whackos who may or may not even know basic firearms safety packing deadly weapons?

Perhaps there is no need, but it is our right. :celebrate...I do not see the need to pack when I go to town.
Really? Where do you live that's completely 100% crime-free?This is not a troll and you nor the previous poster are answering the question. I own firearms, but I do not see the need to pack when I go to town.
Me too. Also, the Constitution recognizes the right to carry right here:Downriver wrote:Really? Where do you live that's completely 100% crime-free?This is not a troll and you nor the previous poster are answering the question. I own firearms, but I do not see the need to pack when I go to town.
I'd like to live there.
"Whack me upside the head?" Seriously? Ever heard of SITUATIONAL AWARENESS? I can guarantee you that 99% of OCers aren't going to let somebody get close enough to club them in the head and take their gun. Even if they did get close enough to me to club me in the head, my wife also has a gun.I see your point, that you would obviously send a message that you are not a "soft" target. But, nonetheless, it does not seem beyond the realm of possibility that a criminal or the criminally insane, seeing you carrying a firearm, could not simply whack you upside the head and take it from you. Then you have created an armed criminal.
Same place where one might find the right to conceal carry. Nowhere. The Bill of Rights uses the word "bear" which meant, "to carry on or about the person".Where does the Constitution grant the right to open carry?
I know, I just like a good debate. Even if I can't winFolks. The boy isn't going to change his mind no matter what you say. Let him starve for the attention he's craving.

If you can't provide a reasoned response you simply reinforce the point.
Both, more than likely.Downriver wrote:This is not a troll and you nor the previous poster are answering the question. I own firearms, but I do not see the need to pack when I go to town.

A reasoned response is generally reserved for a reasonable question. Your question is is illogical because your premise is illogical for the following reasons.
1. You don't have a right to be free from worry. To worry or not is a choice you make. Your choice to worry does not trump the right to keep and bear arms.
2. Law abiding citizens aren't generally "whackos." In fact "whackos" will carry guns regardless of the laws that are passed so even if we all left our guns home, your family would still have to worry about the "whackos."
3. Ignorance of firearm safety doesn't make a person a "whacko."
Your question shows that you don't have the understanding of anyone who is familiar with firearms. You may well own some firearms but your question shows that that you are most likely the very ignorant person you profess to worry about.
In short, according to the standard of your original question, you are a "whacko" ... or a troll.
