Another OC vs LEO

[Eurodriver]

The left regularly use this tactic to make whatever agenda they're pushing the norm.
Look at the homosexual agenda.
It is in your face, and being more and more accepted by mainstream population.

Saw a video on YouTube yesterday. It had 7,000,000+ views and was titled "Home Depot Wedding Proposal"

Thought it looked cool so I clicked. The description said something like "Bob had no idea what to expect when he walked into HOme Depot today".

My first thought was "Wow, a woman proposing? odd."

As soon as I saw a man get on his knee in front of the other man I shut it off. I guess they haven't converted me yet.

What I won't understand is why the left gets to do anything they want: attack ads, in-your-face promotion, etc but the second we do anything of the sort we are stopped by the "We are better than they are" and "That will just make it worse" crowd. The bottom line is that shit works. Its why even the left acknowledges the NRA being viewed as a "mainstream" organization. Because they put themselves out there.

OC should be legal just to protect people who conceal carry from getting charged if their shirt rides up or some other issue.

Just because you might be hassled by the police for doing something legal doesn't make that act wrong. Another case of blaming the victim for someone else's actions. All these people with cameras wouldn't be putting videos on YouTube if they had been allowed to go about their way doing something perfectly legal.

As pointed out, the gays have been pushing with in your face antics for a long time. If we had politicians with half the balls of the left we'd be a lot better off. If we supported each other instead of dividing ourselves we'd be a lot better off.

I don't agree with open carry (for the most part) but this officer was out of line. There was no crime committed so I don't understand why there was a compelling need to produce I.D, especially from those that weren't even involved in the initial contact.

But you see, he needs to determine if there is any way a crime is being committed and therefore he has to run your ID in order to see if there's anything he can arrest you for since you aren't actually doing anything technically wrong at the moment.

While I'm not a big fan of OC, I'm starting to think I'm glad someone is doing it, while we still have the right to. If we don't excercise that right, sooner or later someone else is going to take it away (Look at the NFA fiasco for example). I'm buying an SBR/Supressor not because I need it, but I feel I should exercise the right to do so...

A similar situation happened nearby a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if it went national or not. I'm not sure how I feel about people pulling these kind of stunts. I think it does more harm than good. Especially since OC is already legal here & no one is contesting it. Why bring the negative publicity?

I'd much rather see people walking around with AR's slung over their backs in protest than to see two gayrods kissing each other. Unfortunately, their method seems to work better than "ours".

Had a PD officer act the same here on WA at store parking lot. I was actually off duty but was shopping. Saw the altercation, identified myself and spoke with the officer. He called me an idiot for supporting his suspect, yeah guy was OC, a. 44mag in a chest holster getting supplies for hunting camp complete with his dogs. I said to him he was a disrespectful and ignorant twit. Guess who is no longer a PD cop, he is Got to love where I live. If you don't like guns stay out of N. IS and E. WA.

Awesome! I sincerely hope you're still going to run for office.

Its great to see that people are still going out of their way to be hassled and "oppressed" by the po-po.


I could rehash the many reasons why open carry is asinine, but I'm sure everyone knows them.

I'll share how I deal with folks that open carry........I smile, wave, and keep driving. However when jellyfish-joe schmo gets scared out of his panties because "that man is wearing a gun!!!! (gasp)" I have to contact them (since you know joe schmo pays my salary and all, and he'll probably bitch to the chief or an lt if I don't. I know its crazy that I don't dream of hassling open carriers right???). Then it goes something like this "Hey hows it going, Im Officer blah blah, with blah blah police dept. During our interaction i'd ask that you don't make any sudden movements toward your firearm please, thanks. Im sorry to bother you, but some jellyfish...I mean folks are alarmed that you are carrying. Are you a felon? Do you have any bad intentions today? Nope? Awesome, have a good day.


Then maybe lecture the guy on a friendly level about how it would make much more sense to conceal carry.


Lets look at if from another stand point. Most think its completely retarded for police to bother anyone that's carrying a firearm openly. Would you feel the same way about someone walking down a street at 3am looking in to car windows?? I mean, there is nothing illegal about that either right??

I am not a fan of OC also ,if you want to then by all means do. but for me i would rather people not see what i have .there are times you can tell i am carrying and have had my shirt pull up exposing My HK only to have a officer to ask me to be "a little more careful ,not to scary the anti's" he did not even ask to see my CCW .

Even here in Alabama where the 99% is pro-gun you will always have 1 that sees a firearm and not a badge and think you are going to shoot the place up .
to me it is not worth the Hassle .

here is a funny little moment i was crossing the Canada Border not long ago from New york I drive a tanker truck . the Canada Border guard asked if I owned any firearms as he is holding my DL and Passport card I said " see which state I am from ,I am from the South " and I smiled He just looked at me and said "I will take that as a yes" stamped my paperwork and off I went

Plan to run for council or County commission. Either way I don't put up with bullshit and I curse, smoke cigars, and drink.

Make contact yes. Hassle and then attempt to quote code and statute when you are a completely clueless officer of the law... NO!
I'm a citizen and a patriot. LE is just a ****ing job until I move forward.
