Millenia of being told to be so by men.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Millenia of being told to be so by men.

Disagree, any male to do this is not a man!
Why do people try to start an argument with the armed person that they feel is intimidating?
Scratch that, I see now she said she was intimidated by the inanimate object, not by you. Never mind.
How far away did she move to feel safe from a firearm in the room?

I'd say about 10 -15 feet away.

Apparently she thinks that is a safe distance :lol:

Yeah I can see why quietly minding one's own business could be intimidating. But spouting off when not asked wouldn't be.
nit wittery as the G Man used to say.

No problem! I think you and craftymommy are probably our most visible and effective advocates, simply because people have this notion that it's not lady like. I think when men carry, it's seen as expected, while when women do it, other women seem to judge. Just an interesting observation. Hopefully this too will change one day soon.

There is several on top of their game open carry females in Las Vegas posting here and on the southern Nevada open carry face book page. They are constantly being questioned about open carrying. Most of the time it is positive. It would appear a mommy with her very young kids open carrying also attracts conversations. All of our open carry females posting here and on the Face Book page have been great stewards of open carry. It would be great to see more.
Was just informed by a regional manager at red robin that firearms are not allowed in their restaurant while eating dinner with my family. More details top follow when I get home. Getting a copy of an official internal memo stressing the policy as well as business cards from some big wigs currently visiting the red robin on eastern and Silverado ranch...

I'll be making some popcorn and waiting for the details. But I guess August's meetup at Red Robin is cancelled.
LOLIt will be a good read. I will be putting up a separate thread about it after I can sit down in front of a real keyboard and type. There will be pictures.I'll be making some popcorn and waiting for the details. But I guess August's meetup at Red Robin is cancelled.
Also this regional manager was visiting from his home state of California... This is still his region though apparently.. go figure

Ok as promised, just made a new thread: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...Gun-Free-quot-establishment-at-dinner-tonight
Go check it out for my full negative experience I had there earlier tonight.
On a side note, I can't find the restaurant on the 2AFriendly app to give them an unfriendly rating :/

And another great meet up. The food was very good. I am not into Greek food and needed some help with the menu however it was very good, very nice prompt service and no issues with the firearms. Felt very welcomed. Prices were also good.
I believe Sharp Shooter will be posting a better report later as he had to get up early for work today. Guessing we had around 12 ocers at the café, and I believe it was 7 that did the walk.
There was some kind of Latin day festival on Freemont Street, which is where we decided to do the walk.
No issues at all even though very crowed in some places. One guy from LA just moving here asks for a group picture however did not get a tip. Did not think of it at the time should have gave him a camera for a picture to post.
At one point as we were walking back the crowd was so thick after a few moments of not moving we decided to back out of the crowd and go another direction we came across a dark alleyway that would take us in the needed direction. The rule of thumb even in Las Vegas is not a good idea going down dark alleys. We stopped looked at each other said 7 grown men all armed good to go, down the dark alley we went.
We got a lot of looks, the local security watching us when we walked by. I was amassed I did not see one Metro with the large crowed, not one. May be they all thought we went to the strip.
These walks are always a good way for the ones not use to being in public ocing to become at ease ocing.
All in all great day of group ocing.
Thought for sure Grand Guy with his cowboy wheel gun rig and a full belt of ammo showing, cowboy hat would have got some tips for sure.
We did go to Denny’s in the Nenopalise however it is spelled for a milkshake, they also were very nice and had not problem with us Ocing.

Open Carry Cowboy had a great time! I might just become a fixture down there. Anyone who wants to do a Strip or Downtown walk with me is always welcome to join me.
Here is the picture of us in the dark alley. Sorry I wasn't able to get everybody in the frame, but I think it makes the point.

Looks a lot like the movie version of the walk to OK Corral. :lol:
