NRA Proclaims Open Carry Protests "Downright Weird."

[Iraqgunz]

The idiots open carrying their Crapco SKS/AK's and AR's are doing more harm than good. Open carry has a place and time. Chipotle, Subway, Sonics, etc..., isn't it. But, I will concede had they only done it with handguns discreetly, it would have been a non-issue.

We as gun owners need to recognize some people hate guns and some people are in the middle. The people in the middle are being pushed away be these clowns. Whether we like it or not, that's how it is. So now we have people who cannot open carry handguns (maybe they were under 21?) because of the actions of these few imbeciles.

Open carry is important in other circumstances like in your vehicle or when out hiking or camping because let's face it, who wants to conceal carry their AR15 while hiking? I don't. I don't need one while eating my scone and venti double quad mocha at Starbucks.

One thing is for sure is that if people continue down this path we will see a backlash and it will hurt all gun owners.

No, it's what the establishment wants. Stop blaming everything on someone else. Republicans didn't have to run left wing candidates. They wanted to run them. Had the NRA wanted OC to pass, it would have already passed in the solid red states.

I equate the morons/idiots who simply MUST strap on an AR/SKS/AK ect.. to go out amongst the general population, to the (LGBT community) who simply MUST have parades and march whilst naked and doing perverted/sickening things. Like them, most people wouldn't give a damn if wasn't just flat SHOVED in their faces and FORCED to see it while out & about,especially with children. These nuts have HURT our cause more than anything. MORE than Bloomberg/Demorats/ Brady/ect., ect.
Theres no good reason for it, and the shit needs to stop. As a gun man for over 40 years now...I say GOOD on all the places that have banned them. Just wait until one of the ****sticks has a ND. Its GONNA happen. THEN ALL HELL'S GONNA BREAK LOOSE.

Frickin learn something from the Progressives. Did they get the gay agenda pushed thru using spokesman like that Mutt and Jeff carrying a mini-14 and and AR into that restaurant recently? Those OCers are the transgendered and gay parade in a thong equivalent in the gun community. You don't lead with them, they are what follows. You think suburban moms would be Ok with gay marriage if the Village Indian were flashing his junk at the local Taco Bell like those two mental midgets were with their guns.
You lead with non threatening "Will and Grace" and "Ellen" depictions of gun users. Strong women who can defend themselves from abuse hushands. Veterans who defend their families. Minorities protecting themselves when big city mayors won't.

I get OCers, you're here, your 'queer' and we should all accept you. How about we get the 'civil unions' of national CCW first and try to get sporting rifles off the endangered species list before you creepy guy from "Silence of the Lambs" everyone.

OCers are the 'T' or even the "I" in gun version of LGBTQIA (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and asexual
LGBTQIA). Who hates Lesbians or bisexual women? Those gay guys on 'Modern Family' are funny. We should lead with the Hunters and Home defenders and bring along the OCers about ten years after the transgendered get in the military.

Exxxxcelent.



Funny but also so very true.

Don't reinforce stereotypes.

Hearts and minds folks, hearts and minds.

If you think any of that ^^^^^^ garbage linked is HELPING any pro firearms cause, you're either incredibly naïve or a few fries short of a happy meal. Its beyond pointless, and half a step away from down right MORONIC.

That is all.

P.S. if you want more entertainment via stupidity, watch some more of the OCT channel...

HO-LEE SHIT J-Dub....you & I AGREE on something! Cool. I agree with you 100%.

I don't have a problem with the NRA statement. We're in an age when you have every far leftist group getting in your face about their agenda. Case in point the Gay/Lesbian groups. Instead of shutting up after coming out and living their lives, they're in your face about their lifestyle. Accept it, embrace it or else....

These OC groups, and some gun are using the same tactics. Getting in everyone's face about our rights. I live in an open carry State, but I'm not pushing an agenda that gets in the faces of other citizens. I'm not in a war zone, so I don't need to take my 6920 into McDonalds.

Could not have said it better myself.

I honestly don't understand what these guys are trying to accomplish. They are only causing more people to turn against us.

I think the reason it had to be long guns in TX is due to some oddball bastardization of their law's wording. That being said, carrying a Tapco-banged SKS at the low ready in to Chipotle or Starbucks may get some unwanted attention. As I said before, I might get a little jumpy myself seeing it. Immediate first thought would be, "Is this guy getting ready to stick up the cashier -- or go active shooter?"

Whereas, carrying it this way gives off the vibe of, "Just doing what I need to do..."
