I have to stop by the Town Office and the grocery store today

[jpak]

I will not be carrying a gun - concealed or otherwise - on my person or in my car.

I do not fear the outside world or my fellow citizens and leave my guns at home until hunting season opens.

and - I do not want to be around people who carry guns as a political statement, to prove their self-worth or as a fashion accessory.

that is all

yup

[HopeHoops]

1. I just got back from the grocery store and I didn't take any of my guns either.

I DID however take my eldest daughter, a 2nd degree black belt.

[sharesunited]

4. There is a chance I can outrun her. Not bullets, though.

[damntexdem]

5. A reason to leave the gun at home and take the daughter.

Also, bystanders across the street, or those driving by on the street, will be safe from the daughter.

[gejohnston]

9. don't harass her and you won't have to run from her.

[one-eyed fat man]

49. Unless you plan to assault her

why would you need to out run her?

She would be so overcome by your studliness you would have defend your virtue?

[ileus]

2. Good on you....I'll carry one for you today. M&P and LCP in your name.

[jpak]

11. "M&P and LCP" - I salute your use of code words to conceal your intent to carry weapons

Loose Lips Sink Ships!!!11

OXOXOXOXOX!!111

WWJC?

:rofl:

[ileus]

20. They're not weapons they're PPE

[jpak]

21. You can't say "pee pee" and weapons in the same post here

:evilgrin:

[gejohnston]

22. being a Druid, I really don't care what Jesus would be carrying

[PavePusher]

27. Not code words at all... and no-one was attempting to conceal any intent.

You are simply making shit up. Again.

3. I got in an imaginary shoot-out with a threatening-looking dude who looked at me weird.

And then I re-grouped.

[jpak]

6. I salute you for maintaining situational awareness

and regrouping after your imaginary gun battle with this evil-doer

stand tall! stand yer ground!!111

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

Done!

:patriot:

[aikoaiko]

7. Its almost like you are beginning to understand the concept of liberty.

You seem to understand it when applied to yourself, but not to others.

Why is that?

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Well, if THOUGHTS were bullets, I left mayhem all over town today.

[Common Sense Party]

10. And you think people who own guns for anything besides hunting are insane.

yup

yeppers

yessirree, Bob

[jpak]

12. You have proof to the contrary?

:shrug:

[K8-EEE]

15. the hunting part is kinda iffy too actually, LOL.

I just stay away from people who obsess on guns, it's the best way not to get shot. I tell my girls no dating the gun guys. The easiest way for a girl to get shot is to have a relationship with a "protective" (jealous) guy with a gun.

[jpak]

17. I respect that - and you are telling your girls the right thing about lots of young guys with guns

:hi:

[Common Sense Party]

35. At least you're finally owning up.

[K8-EEE]

13. If I thought I needed access to a gun all the time I would move

until I found somewhere I didn't have to feel so paranoid. And I live in the big bad city! (Los Angeles)

[one-eyed fat man]

41. Like you have a choice.

Unless you are politically connected, an "A" list celebrity, or wealthy enough your servants have six figure salaries, you are not getting a concealed weapons permit in LA county.

[petronius]

14. Wonderful! And I (like many here) wholly support your right to make your own choices and determine

your own course of life as you see fit... :)

[jpak]

16. So if my town wants to pass its own gun ordinances it's OK with the GOP/NRA?

That's funny, cuz they are trying to prevent that in several states right now.

No choices permitted

yup

[petronius]

18. Ordinances against carrying? That would remove choice

I can't speak for the GOP or the NRA, but for my part I would not want to see you denied the liberty to choose for yourself whether or not to carry a firearm (isn't that what this thread is celebrating?)...

[jpak]

19. Yeah - like no guns at town meetings, bars, schools, town office, public parks etc.

you know - sensible stuff.

But if the morans want to bring their guns to church, that's fine with me, cuz the local churches here have schisms, falling outs and high holy drama all the time.

Someone may need a gun to protect themselves from the daemon-possessed that want to have female deacons in the church!!111

:D

[petronius]

24. By "sensible" you mean founded on empirical data and solid reasoning, right?

With great care taken to minimize intrusions into person choice and freedom?

[CelticThunder]

29. I chose not to be around armed people. I can think of nothing more pathetic than gun carriers.

[eqfan592]

34. Except perhaps yourself...nt

[petronius]

40. Cool! Like I said, I support your right to make your own choices, as well

as your freedom to have and express any opinions you think are reasonable. How you choose to behave in public is up to you... :hi:

[YllwFvr]

43. Make sure you tell the cops

Play close attention to the look on there face when you say it, get back to me

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

44. First -

- You can't. Those who carry concealed...well they don't all wear the same hat.

Second -
- Let me help you to think of something "more pathetic": "To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic." - Ted Nugent

[Straw Man]

48. That's a shame...

I chose not to be around armed people. I can think of nothing more pathetic than gun carriers.

...because I was growing rather fond of you.

[spin]

32. I'm glad that Florida passed a law that will stop local communities from

making their own gun laws. While this was never supposed to happen, some local communities violated the state law and created their own ordinances. The new law will impose fines on officials who do so.

Regulation of Firearms and Ammunition

CS/CS/CS/SB 402 (Negron) and CS/CS/CS/HB 45 (Gaetz) impose a financial penalty on governments, elected officials or staff that adopt policies or take action that violates the existing state law preemption of firearms regulation. City officials or employees who are found to have willfully and knowingly violated the preemption would be personally liable and for a fine of no more than $5,000. In addition, the bills expand the scope of the preemption to include storage of firearms and ammunition. Under the bills, an elected city official passing or a city employee enforcing an ordinance prohibiting guns in parks, discharging guns within city limits, or otherwise restricting guns would be personally liable as provided in the bills. CS/CS/CS/SB 402 was laid on the table by the Senate. CS/CS/CS/HB 45 was amended to match SB 402; CS/CS/CS/45 passed the House and the Senate and is awaiting action by the governor. (Cook)

If every community were able to enact their own rules, legal concealed carry in Florida could eventually require a book the size of a telephone directory that listed all the local rules in order to travel around the state. Such foolish laws target honest citizens who have a concealed weapons permit and do nothing to deter those who choose to carry illegally.

[Straw Man]

47. You mean they want to choose to disable choice? No, not OK.

So if my town wants to pass its own gun ordinances it's OK with the GOP/NRA?

"Choice" requires options, like the choice between "carry" and "don't carry." With no option, there can be no choice.

It's called "free will." I think it's in the Bible somewhere. You could look it up.

[spin]

23. I notice that a number of posters have mentioned that they don't carry concealed ...

and I just want to point out that while I have a concealed weapons permit and do carry, I have absolutely no problem with people who do not carry.

[Upton]

25. That's your right..

I would never think of passing laws telling you what to do. Now how about you extend all of us who choose to exercise our RKBA the same courtesy?

[Oneka]

26. Do you

Really believe that folks like me who carry a pistol do so, to make a political statement?

[LibertyFox]

30. We would get along then.

I do not fear the outside world or my fellow citizens. I do not carry to make a political statement or to prove self worth. My firearm is concealed so its use as a fashion accessory is nil.

I support your choice.

[lawodevolution]

31. Then you better stay home and don't worry

if someone is attacking you and I'm there with my gun, I will not help you.

[GreenStormCloud]

33. I went to the store this morning and I was armed.

The gun was concealed so it wasn't a political statement nor a fashion accessory. At my age I came to know my self-worth long ago and I feel that I am worth protecting so I carry.

[Common Sense Party]

36. How much blood was flowing in the streets by the time you were finished?

Don't take your guns to town, son, leave your guns at home...

[onehandle]

37. How is anyone going to take you seriously?

Unless you look something like this, I assume you're a pushover.

[MineralMan]

38. I went to the bank and to a very large local thrift store this afternoon.

Even though I have a Minnesota CCW permit, my carry weapon stayed locked in its safe. I almost never carry in Minnesota. It is almost always safe to go out here.

[Atypical Liberal]

39. What about other motivations?

I have to stop by the Town Office and the grocery store today

I will not be carrying a gun - concealed or otherwise - on my person or in my car.

I do not fear the outside world or my fellow citizens and leave my guns at home until hunting season opens.

and - I do not want to be around people who carry guns as a political statement, to prove their self-worth or as a fashion accessory.



Is it OK to be around people who just want to carry them for self-defense?

[ileus]

42. Any one heard from Jpak? Did he make it?

I went to the nursing home without my sidearm this evening...and mowed the yard without it.

[gejohnston]

45. Nawwwwwwwwww he got ran over by Christine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_(novel)

[PavePusher]

46. Substitute any other demographic for "people who carry guns"...

and your profile would have a granite slab so fast you'd think you went through a time-warp.

But I geuss we need to keep one outlet for the feeble-minded to vent on, as long as it keeps them from dirtying up the rest of the place, eh?

Take your freeperville fucktardery elsewhere.
