[RU serious]

I didn't watch the whole video. She even pissed ME off when she called OC merely a political statement.

Look, if you can't say something politically correct, then don't say nothin' at all.

There really shouldn't be multiple reasons to open or conceal carry. There really just needs to be one: "This is how I want to do it."

Best answer for this thread. :banana:

The lack of facts in most of the attacks on her video really make the OC minions sound like a bunch of liberals and their ignorance driven agendas.

OC or CC are we not carrying for the same reason? Or did her Alpha male comment cut too close to the truth?

 

[The Truth]

Telling somebody they shouldn't open carry because it makes others uncomfortable is like telling homosexuals not to hold hands in public. Who gives a **** if others are uncomfortable? That's their problem. It's a free country... OC your gun, hold hands with your gay lover, it doesn't matter as long as you aren't threatening anybody's life, liberty, or property. Businesses shouldn't discriminate on the basis of gun ownership any more than they should on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, etc. Plus, it's just plain stupid to turn away paying customers.

I don't even think you meant it to be, but this is brilliant.

Saved!

Do OCers and CCers not carry for the same reason? Some do and some don't, I think. I think 'the divide' is not between OC and CC, but other characteristics. Like privilege vs. right, status vs. freedom, club mentality vs. individualism mentality, etc.

I know people who CC only, but they do for self protection, and it's what THEY feel comfortable with, that would be the right reason. The CCer's who say all people should CC only are not doing it for the wrong reason

OK, you either carry for self-defense against all the bad guys, or to make a statement of some kind, or to compensate for something.

I carry to protect myself and family............. you?

 

[OC for ME]

OC, CC, or No C, no big deal. Working to limit my choice in this regard is anti-liberty and anti-citizen.

Who cares? None of anyone else's business why someone carries and how they do it. (As long as it is done safely)

I believe this is a wonderful example of the logical fallacy called the False Dichotomy.

The fallacy of false dichotomy is committed when the arguer claims that his conclusion is one of only [a number of limited options, usually] two, when in fact there are other possibilities. The arguer then goes on to show that the 'only other option' is clearly outrageous, and so his preferred conclusion must be embraced.

Either you let me go to the Family Values Tour, or I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. I know you don't want me to be miserable for the rest of my life, so you should let me go to the concert.

Either you use Speed Stick deodorant, or you will stink to high heaven. You don't want to stink, so you better by Speed Stick.

Either I keep smoking, or I'll get fat. I don't want to get fat, so I better keep smoking.

Either we keep Charles Manson in jail, or we release him, thus risking murder, carnage, and mayhem. We don't want murder, carnage, or mayhem, so we had better keep him in jail.

Over on "the website that shall not be named" the anti open carry bunch have their usual blather like "it's a tactical disadvantage" ready for copy and paste at the first sign off open carry talk.

Hmmm... so the mods on this forum respect the Second Amendment unequivocally, but the First Amendment only selectively. Got it.

Respect? Really? You show total disrespect to the forum and offer the excuse that you are unfamiliar with the rules. That won't fly - read your PMs.

Care to narrow it down a little, there's a ton of them, Arfcom, TFL, THR, DC, USA Carry (although this is better than most), etc.

I get it. You're in charge, you hold the power. I promise I'll behave.

In the future, I would greatly appreciate it if you refrained from editing my posts in order to make it seem like I said something that I didn't.

Ending this conversation now. Thanks.
