I noticed that. 'Armed White Men"... :what:Whutta novelconcept. I s'pose if they'd been anything other... that could be considered a 'racist' remark. Maybe that's why 'mostly' was used. 'Too bad there has to be a 'demonstration' of any sort to emphasize a Constitutionally recognized Right that's taken for granted elsewhere. (I just got back from the store 'n hung up my gunbelt.)Mike wrote:I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this before. What does race have to do with it? They use the work "MOSTLY", what other races were represented? It makes me wonder what else they're trying to stir up...[size=The New Gun Week, Aug. 15, 2008:][/b]
[size=Open carry demonstration in Michigan gets attention][/b]
The open carry movement has come to Michigan, with a demonstration by more than three dozen armed citizens described as "mostly white men" turning out for a stroll along the streets of Hastings, a small community in western Michigan's Barry County.
That'd be Class 3 Felony in AZ... 'n he would have been arrested. 'Glad it was only superficial. I reckon you could still sue him tho... you DID get shot thru his negligence.Here in TEXAS, the other day I was or received some BIRD SHOT in the right FOREARM from a "neighbor" that was SKEET SHOOTING in his back yard after I asked him to quit shooting-approximately 500 ft from my fence. I called the Sheriff and luckily for me he was far enough away that the birdshot was just under the skin-to make a long story short the Deputy warned him that the next time he may receive a citation therefore I open carry on my property constantly now and I use a Wyoming Rig with a Single Action Ivory handled .45. Stopped all of the problem!
The "BRADY's" wouldn't find it easy being here in TEXAS!!
Oh was wonderin', up there can "OTHER THAN WHITE" also carry open?
There's a mayor in Maryland right now that might disagree with that....:uhoh:Unless the person is a politician, mayor, police chief, city alderman, etc. Then the police do protect them.
Gay rights activists are very pushy and in your face (not that I care, I feel they should all have equal rights anyway).
So what if OC activists are? It is their right is it not?!! It is only "acceptable" to be "in your face" and "pushy" if you are going after some "liberal" agenda, so it seems.
OC advocates are extremely non-violent and passionate, what better way to be an American and voice your opinion!

There's no specific Constitutional 'Right' to be 'Gay'... or for any other devient behavioral abnormality.Too many 'people' claiming 'Rights' that don't exist... and too many people puttin' the kabosh on actual Rights that do exist. I don't consider myself an 'activist' anything. I have the Right to bear arms (openly) for self defense. I need a License to hunt... carry concealed and such. Rights and License are two d'frint animals. Preemption of a recognized Right by local ordinances is unconstitutional... and the politicians are aware of that... No matter what comes out of their mouths to the contrary.
SCJ Scalia: “Nowhere else in the Constitution does a ”right“ attributed to ”the people“ refer to anything other than an individual right. What is more, in all six other provisions of the Constitution that mention ”the people,“ the term unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset... The Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms... The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it ‘shall not be infringed’.”
This legal opinion... largely ignored... may well be the most important Constitutional opinion in over 100 years. Don't 'skim read it'... READ IT SLOWLY. Let it sink in. 'All Instruments'.... bearable arms is not limited to firearms only. Arms... think about that! "...a ”right“ attributed to ”the people“ refer to anything other than an individual right. What is more, in all six other provisions of the Constitution that mention ”the people,“ the term unambiguously refers to all members of the political community, not an unspecified subset..." There goes the militia, military and LEO arguments in one fell swoop!"
huh? Brady was shot with a handgun. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_Assassination_Attempt.Which side is the one being pushy?
Brady who demand enveryone loose thier pistols, (even though he was shot with a rifle).
Um, in the area of abortion, the "pro-lifers" are easily the far more pushy and aggressive side of that issue. So you might want to have not included this in your list of examples.so gay rights activists, pro-abortion activists, environmentalists are not pushy and aggressive? ooooh yeah, they are liberal causes...
They are legal.Reread the Miller case.....it uses militia for its reasoning.....if Congress didn't pass a law it would seem that sawed off shotguns would be legal now.
.....Open carry caught some criticism from Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. He told The Free Press that open carry activists are "pushy and aggressive." The New GUN WEEK, August 15, 2008
