Citizens with guns do not scare me.

The federal government of the USA scares me.

Who the hell is Bob Owens? Open carry is fantastic, frankly.

I am all for our right to open carry, I just don’t think anyone should. It really should be a right to concealed carry without a permit. Bad guys do it all the time.

I don’t understand the idea behind brandishing firearms in public. Even some police departments require guns be concealed when carried by officers off-duty in civilian clothes. As an armed citizen, the last thing I want to do is advertise that I’m armed, to friend or foe. Concealment will hopefully educate the bad guys that no one can be assumed to be someone they can safely victimize, regardless of appearances.

Wow...talk about having the proverbial “sand in the vajajay”...what a whiner! While I don’t necessarily agree with open carry (from a tactical standpoint), these guys are still on our side, as far as I can tell...

Don’t this bozo know that we are no longer cringing with what the other side may say or how they may charactarize us?

No longer are we paralyzed with fear of being called ‘intolerant’ or ‘homophobe’ or even ‘racist’.

Th gloves are off now.

Maybe you should visit some places where having a visible firearm keep everyone at a respectible distance and is a sign of strength and resolve.

Not everyone wants to wait until a bad guy is attacking them and then respond.

Sounds like the same folks who keep saying the eligibility issue is “hurting Republicans”. But then they also seem to really be saying that taking principled conservative stands is “hurting Republicans”.

If open carry is legal in these states then hats off to the men and women who are carrying on with the fight to preserve gun rights.
