Open carry debate

[nakinate]

Perhaps we should use purple when posting in threads like this. No one seems to get the sarcasm.

Personally not in favor of it. It needlessly scares people. It especially scares parents when their young children are with them. Also you're going to get the attention LEO and security personnel that you don't need.

It doesn't scare people. They hardly ever notice. Even if it did scare them, I don't care. I believe people are well served by encountering an OCer in public who handles themselves courteously. The more they see me OCing the less they become frightened. Also, never had a cop EVER say anything about it. Go on believing your myths about OC. I hope it makes you feel superior.

I'm doing it wrong then. Maybe I should start duct taping it to my forehead again.

This thread isn't likely to change anyone's opinion on the subject. Like I have always stated, I 100% support open carry but in almost all situations it's not for me. I do not want people to know I'm armed and it has nothing to do with scaring people.

Not a fan!

4 posts per year. And this is your line
You are a man of many words.

Sorry didn't mean to threaten your manhood.

And how would you be threatening his manhood?

Cause no ones running out scared.
No police are being called.
Therefore, we must be doing it wrong.

Still trying to figure out what or how this has to do with manhood.

 

[actaeon277]

By the way.
I OC and CC.
Not sure why either is a threat to either's manhood.

I carry.
But I don't think people that don't carry aren't men.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

It's OK, actaeon277. It's a typical retort from someone who is jealous that some of us aren't afraid to OC.

Your non sequitur projection in lieu of any attempt to actually support your opinion is mildly amusing to me, thanks for the wonderful example.

Carrying issues! I thought I was on the handgun discussion thread.

hahahaha you think your Internet post has that power? Oh man that's rich. There isn't a thing you could even say to my face that would threaten my "manhood"...whatever that means. I'm secure. Sorry.

Whoever told u this is a moron I can't find anything about anyone taking someone else gun and indiana Dosent issue u a ccw they just issue a u a gun permit it Dosent say concealed or open it's just a license to carry

I told me all that. It's my opinion.

stephen87 was being sarcastic. Those are common points brought up against OC.

I didn't see no dang purple.

What if I called you woman again?

Actually putting it on the right forum is best.

I have to disagree. If it were on the right forum, I would not have bothered looking at it because it is the same Blah, blah, blah. And I would have missed all the witty lines from so many.

If you can't / won't take the time to figure out what subforum your topic belongs in I see your future as limited here.

Puh-leeeze. The only reason he'd be leaving any time soon is if he's run off by the neandertals with no social skills or he goes full Yeager. Since there's no indication the latter is going to happen, guess that leaves the former.

I must be doing something wrong.
None of the above has happened to me.

Me either. But admittedly, there's a difference that might play into it for me. It takes one helluva of a JBT to harass a female with 2 kids.

And despite his posts above, he's also a big proponent of OC.

In before the "It's a license" crowd.

A request though: it's y-o-u, not u.

Now why can't everybody else be like this?

 

[tbone]

i only open carry while in uniform ,off duty i keep it hid.

 

[Glocksmith]

Here we go again.

 

[RefuseToBeAVictim]

Nice debate guys. See you at Walmart. I'll be the guy with the 642 lasered up in my pocket.

 

[Birds Away]

Only AIWB actually threatens your manhood.

That's fine.
