Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Except the fact that it's invading every single TV show out there... Next Nat Geo is going to have a show called "Gay Cops" or something... I'm kind of tired of it. I don't want to see the gay culture everywhere.Originally Posted by Rucker61

They can get married and parade around all day for all I give a shit. What they do is between them and God. As long as they keep their cum-encrusted fingers off of my guns and the rights thereof.
You just get one channel?
+1 what Dingo said. Yes, the gun-owning portion of society are semi-fine with it, but I doubt there are very many non-gun-owning moms with children there who appreciate this kind of behavior in their face, just shopping for groceries. It's about common sense, not the attitude "hey it's legal, so I'll do whatever I wish".
Same principal as publishing a "convenient" map and list of gun owners in NewYork or on Gawker.com. SURE IT'S LEGAL, BUT should you really do it? Is it honorable? Is it benefitting the public good?! Is it harming anyone? Yeah, actually it might be harming those owners, making them targets for thieves!
Common sense and logic, use it, think BEYOND two dimensions. Same advice for the douchebag principals and teachers suspending children for toys and paper guns.

It's kind of like the arrangement I have with my parents. I love and respect my dad, but he's always been uncomfortable around guns. When the family and I go over to their house, I don't advertise my carry piece and keep it discreetly concealed at all times, even though it can get uncomfortable after a few hours at the dinner table. He knows I'm carrying but doesn't ask me not to, I know he doesn't like guns so I don't show it off. We've both adopted a respectful attitude about it.

Legal? Check.
Attention-grabbing? Check.
Stupid? Check.
Counterproductive? Check.
Maybe we can get him on that MTV program ...
NO. it's NOT like that at all. The anti-gunners aren't like your Dad. They have ZERO respect for you as a gun owner. They're working tirelessly and diligently to TAKE AWAY your rights, not just of gun ownership, but of liberty & freedoms. There's a huge difference between your father and those anti-gunners.
I'm siding with Ronin here, and standing by what I've said in the past: our rights are rights. Period. If my right makes others uncomfortable, especially because they've been brainwashed, so be it. Guns are not to be feared.
What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED do you all not get? Enjoy your false sense of security and your compromise with the brainwashed masses. It won't end well.

No, but it would seem to me that Nat Geo and the Military Channel are the only ones I can stand anymore because they're not like NBC/CBS/Fox/ABC/anything else that constantly displays shows about the "we're here, we're queer" culture 9 out of 10 minutes of every show. I have no problem with gays, I'm just tired of seeing it ALL THE DAMN TIME. Hell, last night at the Rodeo, the clown kept acting like he was light in the loafers, almost the entire time! Okay, it was funny for the first 3 minutes, now it's just annoying.
YES! Hippies and their World Peace BS make me uncomfortable, but I buck up and deal with it and don't infringe upon their rights.

It almost seems to "taunt" the law.
Yes, it is legal, but is seems to , in a way, be saying
"Hey, I found a loophole. Maybe you should pass some more laws to close it."

Ah, there's that good ol' hostility I knew had to be inbound eventually. I view the general populace who is uncomfortable with guns, drastically differently than the traitorous politicians deliberately trying to disarm me as part of their larger totalitarian agenda. I don't view Joe Q Wal-mart Patron who's afraid of guns as the enemy. They vote for questionable people because they're ignorant and largely brought up by the engineered culture on TV. The govt is an entirely different story - I believe their attempt to disarm is a malicious, illegal, and carefully calculated attack.
One further consideration... I would honestly be uncomfortable if somebody was walking around with a loaded rifle in the grocery store, and I'm as vehemently pro-gun as you'll ever find. Would I call the cops on the guy? No. But I would be taken into a hyper-vigilant state that I don't care for, and would probably try to get my family out of the immediate area. "Guy carrying gun" does not automatically equate with "common-sense gun-owner". Aside from the confrontational attitude already implied by doing it in the first place, how do I know what this guy's safety ethics are? I see long time "gun people" doing stupid shit all the time, like sweeping buddies with loaded guns while talking, standing around with fingers on the trigger etc. At least by having it concealed, there's a slightly higher implied level of awareness, and the bonus is that it doesn't raise anybody's blood pressure.
Because society at large does not open carry firearms, and with everybody in a panic-mode after all of the recent mass-shootings, I still think it's disrespectful to freak people out like that. Regardless of what my rights are. Forgetting that it's legal, is it fair to immediately make everyone in the store wonder if they're going to be cowering for cover when he opens fire? People don't think 2nd Amendment when they see something like that, they think about what they've seen on the news recently. Parents worry about their kids, people get scared, and it's disrespectful, arrogant, and belligerent to infringe on THEIR right to buy some fucking groceries without worrying about being shot.
Ultimately it comes down to this:
Do I think that kid had a right to carry the rifle in Walmart that should "not be infringed" upon? Yes.
Do I think he's an asshole for exercising that right inappropriately in a confrontational manner, for attention-seeking reasons? Yes.
