An open carry event.

[stuartcr]

That’s pretty much everyday states that allow it.

[Travis McGee]

This could get interesting.

I hope some folks show up in Revolutionary War garb with slung muskets.

We live in interesting times. Apparently, conservatives are just as capable of "getting in their faces", as Obama was fond of saying a year ago. Really, what did the arrogant left expect to happen? Their egos keep them from seeing past their noses.

Excellent pic in post#4, Trav. Simple and to the point.

It is a somewhat sad comment on how indoctrinated, urbanized and sheepish our culture has become, that simple possession of a firearm is cause for alarm. And further, that when said firearms is in the hands of a LEO, then it's A-OK. That's where the "indoctrination" part really comes in.

[Travis McGee]

The pic is from Western Rifle Shooters, where this idea came from.

If that picture is so powerful, and it is, imagine the pictures of HUNDREDS of men with slung rifles?

[Concho]

Or Thousands, or....................millions!

[Wiekiewicz]

Please keep this moving around, not only here but on your remail lists and other fora you attend.

See you in Virginia.

[CodeToad]

bump.

[going hot]

Thousands of thousands

Carry a pistol.

"3. Open carry of a loaded pistol is allowed."

[Dead Corpse]

Who's playing? Fully load pistol, ammo for rifle/shotgun on your person.

Do you have a better idea?

[ctdonath2]

Make sure your wills are up-to-date.

[paul51]

Do you have a better idea?

Carry what you want

[An Old Man]

"3. Open carry of a loaded pistol is allowed."

Some are slower on the draw than others. Very sad indeed. :<(

[ctdonath2]

subject to final coordination with the Department of the Interior

Am curious how this part plays out. Assurance that there are no surprises either was would help.

[ctdonath2]

You can. Just keep the longarms unloaded and nose-down, as the rules say _for_good_reason_. You can switch from that to “at the ready” in seconds, so you have little/no complaint.

[paul51]

what is sad is people getting giddy about being allowed to exercise some portion of their rights.
