Intimidate? You seem to forget that sniveling people vote. And if there are enough snivelers, open carry will be no more.

And after open carry is banned, then you can come crying on Free Republic about how ignorant those people are.

You and others on this thread who have argued this angle come across as the worst sort of wimps. From what I see, you are arguing that you better not try to exercise your right, or somebody might get mad and take it away. You are willing to give up your rights on the mere possibility that it might make someone mad or scared. Are you always so afraid to assert yourself?

As far as me crying to Freerepublic about snivelers voting even more rights away, there's no chance of that happening. I'm from California. I have a lifetime of experience in learning to deal with sniveling hippies ruining everything. I don't bother crying about it. I just bide my time....

People can vote to ban open carry any time they feel like it. I just see any real reason for two teens to rub their faces in it and give the people an excuse to even consider it.

If open carry is such a good idea, why aren't more people doing it? Why just two teens in one city?

That's the 'majority rule' angle all right. Socialist's insist that voters can 'take away' inalienable rights. - Apparently, they can't understand our Constitution.

Actually there are a group of them here at FR that use every opportunity to spread the communitarian line. They are very adept at using conservative language to cloak their majority rule agitprop.

Me too. -- Well said.
