Just look at my Avatar!
Still think open carry is a great idea?

Late night or early morning, I’m at home either in bed or getting round. I don’t frequent the places you refer to, so that’s why I have not seen it. I’m sorry to hear such shenanigans go on in my town.
Admit it Rob. You're BUSTED!
Yeah... the word "completion" will get ya everytime.

Oh it's not just in your town. And I have found life to be much more manageable keeping a similar schedule to yours thses days. Alas... I may have finally grown up. Or at least in some ways.
I also conceal carry for the main reason of hiding the face I'm loaded with weapons. I'm not the threat, I'm not looking for trouble, I'm not trying to save the world, I'm not showing off my cool equipment, I'm not trying to make a statement, I'm not trying to cause people to get nervous, I'm not trying to prove anything. I am using my rights to own and carry guns and defend myself.

I won’t put political stickers on my car. When I buy something nice for the house (like a big TV), I dispose of the box at work. No use making yourself a target.
I will likely ruffle some feathers, but I’m for universal background checks, too. Some people should not have guns (violent ex-felons, wife beaters, etc). Yes, some will slip through the cracks. Hardcore criminals will always get them, just as hardcore alcoholics will always drink and drive. When they get nabbed, nail them to the wall with maximum penalty. You wouldn’t get rid of drunk driving laws just because some still do it.
I'm not just for Universal Background Checks but also a national data registry and expanded access.
I can’t remember if the show had slow motion filming when she ran, but that is how my mind remembers it.

She has a couple.
Do we get rid of laws against drunk driving because some will keep doing it, or do we use the law to punish those guilty as harshly as possible? What about murder?
Oh no, not at all. I guess I was more expressing my wonderment of how others can keep trying? Idk that does not sound right either. Hard to Express in words, my thoughts it seems. I can keep looking, working, tweaking, and trying on a machine that others feel is hopeless. And to their amazement, bring it back to life. We each have our skills or strengths and dealing with people is most definitely not mine.
Life and society frustrate me so and I just feel helpless to "fix" it. Or help fix it.
My son in law open carries for the most moronic reason. Another guy in his shop open carries and my son in law perceived it was for intimidation. My son in law open carries to intimidate the other guy back. Stupid reason.
Typing can be so therapeutic. I do the same thing, and then read what I wrote and delete it because it’s not worth the drama it would create. But I sure feel better.
I don’t think I ever said in this thread, maybe I did and just don’t remember, but I conceal carry for several reasons.
1. I don’t want to be noticed. A handgun on your hip makes sure you will be noticed and remembered. I don’t think it necessarily makes you a target, and it may even deter a bad guy from doing what he is going to do. But it makes it easier for him to identify where the threats are.
2. I carry to protect myself and family in the event I come up against trouble that I can’t back away from. The first rule of self defense is to retreat if you can. If retreating will put you or your family or property into further or continued danger then you stand your ground.
3. I hope I never have to draw down on anyone. But if trouble finds me and I can’t back away, I will draw if necessary.
4. I’m an old man, and I don’t need the attention of some creep that thinks because I’m old he can take my pistol away from me. He would have no idea about retention, because creeps just don’t think that way.
5. I almost didn’t post this last reason because it’s bound to raise some hackles. I often frequent stores where they don’t allow carry of any kind. If I’m open carrying, they will direct me to the nearest exit in short order. If I’m concealed, they either don’t see it, or it gives them plausible deniability, so they say nothing.

For my money, shes the best looking Wonder Woman ever.
I'll ruffle even some more feathers and say that anything semi-automatic, high capacity magazines would be banned if it were up to me, there would be a mandatory 7-day wait to buy a gun, extensive background checks and anyone who bought a large amount of ammo would get a visit to their home and be questioned on why they bought so much ammo recently. If the person seems sketchy, they get put on a watch list.
Its intrusive and probably a bit extreme but like you said, some people simply shouldnt be allowed to own guns and we need to weed out those people. IMO, the 2nd ammendement should be a right, its should be a privledge for those who have demonstrated their they deserve it and can handle the responsibility.
