Wow... this is a great topic and very widely opinionated!
+1 for Tweaker for acting like a "normal" person. Going out, open carrying and being perceived by the general population to be regular, safe and normal. And I applaude Tweaker saying "I simply feel that having A drink is very much part of "daily American life." I just looked and I saw nothingthat places me as some threat to this website."
- 1 for Grapeshot's post saying, "It is about the public relations effort directed at whether OCers are perceived as good citizens or beer drinkin', gun packin', coarse people. We are by and large family people, some singles, women and children welcomed - normal, hard working good citizens - it is this non-threatening image we wish to project." Why should you have to portray any kind of public relations effort if thats the way you live your life everyday? Cause it'll backfire on you just as bad as it did for Tiger Woods!

If we are to constantly worry about keeping up appearances for a bunch of people we really don't like anyway (antis) then we waste precious time and energy that could well be devoted to more productive pursuits.
People should just act normal........not trying to sway a public opinion based on false actions or play acting.
Ya know... I'm all for having the ability to carry concealed or open... I want it to be my choice, not the choice of the government and not barred to a type of venue. I want it to be my choice. But a majority of the time reading posts on here, I get the feeling of a 1700'ish Temperance Movement...
jeezzz I mean seriously Ed.. did you really say to Tweaker your not invited to mydinner because....? That to me is like the 7 year old that say's if we don't play me way I'm taking my ball and going home.
If ya'll want to percieve "A pro-gun Internet community focused on the right to openly carry properly holstered handguns in daily American life." You should do it without reservation. Selective membership happened with the nazi's and with the kkk and look where it got them!
