NRA Proclaims Open Carry Protests "Downright Weird."

[montrala]

OC high visibility "flash mobs" are also used in Europe as effective tool to paint gun owners (all, also those in EU) as not responsible and dangerous maniacs who are interested in running on the streets and waving deadly weapons on unsuspecting bystanders. Works quite good to scare people in tandem with episodes from "Sons of Guns". I know that you do not give a damn about what happens in Europe, but actually "progressives" in US are watching closely most progressive ideas implemented in EU, so this can came back to US as fuel to anti-gunners.

I think the reason it had to be long guns in TX is due to some oddball bastardization of their law's wording.

OC of handguns, other than black powder, is illegal in Texas. OC of longguns is legal but can still draw a minor charge such as disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct or similar, depending on the circumstances and the LE involved.

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.

Target, Cease Fire....butcha know, the sickening BS tactic above apparantly in some twisted way, worked....

...and THAT is pretty oddball for the Republic of Texas, all things considered. How, and why, did that occur?

I don't want some big gut Arfcomer sweeping me with his AR in the MacDonalds. I don't see what the facination of the "look at me" crowd that surrounds the OC movement. It's like its 1850 and walking around with a sword like some asshole like its a fashion accessory.

Which part of their written statement was disagreeable?

Which part of their written statement was disagreeable?

They're position should be along the lines of, "those citizens were perfectly with their legal right to open carry firearms as they did. There could have been a more productive way of doing so by standing on a corner and handing out flyers about the legality of open carry." Etc
