exactly my thoughts!While I support the right to OC, I'm no fan of these silly rallies and showing up to businesses and forcing them to make a decision. I feel the OC crowd is their own worst enemy and largely to blame for why many folks/businesses don't support OC.
Just one liberal's opinion. Lol.
but until one of you presents some empirical evidence that OC movements ARE damaging our efforts to support the 2nd Amendment then all you're presenting are opinions and you all know what we say about opinions.
EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE -
A source of knowledge acquired by observation or experimentation.
Based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation, or experience.

1.) Always notify local law enforcement prior to the walk, especially the day of.
2.) Carry Flags and signs during your walk to increase awareness.

6.) Do not post pics publicly if you do get permission and are able to OC in a cooperate business.
7.) Do not go into businesses with TABC signs posted with a long gun (Ever).
8.) If at all possible, keep to local small businesses that are 2A friendly.

My God/Gods created everything and he/she/it/they only like people who believe and behave exactly the way I do cause we're homeboys like that and everybody else should not enjoy the same rights and freedoms that I do based off of my personal opinion that they are wrong and going to burn in hell and my oppressing them and prejudice towards them should be globally accepted because it makes my God/Gods happy.
If you didn't put a second mortgage on your house to buy a gun exactly like mine made by the same fella who made mine you are just a poser Rambo wannabe mall ninja who should probably just do us all a favor and shoot yourself in the head if you can do it before your cheap piece of tacticool crap jams and bursts into flames.
My political candidate is better than yours and is exactly what this country needs because he/she says things in public that I agree with and I form my political ideologies based off of the emotions that his/her speeches evoke in me and anyone who thinks differently about him/her or has a differing political opinion to mine should be lined up against a wall and eliminated because I am not properly mentally equipped with the ability to form an intellectual and constructive argument against theirs so instead I yell my ignorance over them and shout them down with insults and thinly veiled threats of violence.
So, for some of you, calling names is what passes for mature, intellectual discussion? You know this is right out of the Liberal handbook, don't you? Call those you disagree with names, marginalize them, then it's easier to dismiss their point of view, isn't it?
Funny, coming from you of all people.
It doesn't matter if you're right if you lose.

It seems to me the open carry "movement" or whatever you want to call it has lost it's root support for the most part. Being infiltrated by some attention grabbers.
Seems it has gone the way of many other good things. It's been taken over, twisted, and lost its ability to do much good.
