    this is more common practice than we realize. More people are voting, but they do not take the time to educate themselves on the candidates, so they go with what they know......race, color,...etc. Kinda like folks that have never been to a horse track-->"oohhhhhh, I like the one with the perty colors" or "that one has a perty name, I'll bet on that one".......:facepalm:
    Then we end up with tribalism where the largest tribe wins until a smaller more violent tribe takes over. Here's to the future!

    Being retired, I can get relaxed in the afternoon to watch Judge Judy. She constantly deals with cases where one of the people just won't shut up. Many times, I've heard her say something like: "Keep your mouth shut....You're not losing."

    OCT strikes me exactly the same way. Things are going well for open carry , but they just seem compelled to open their yaps and pull outrageous, politically stupid stunts. It seems that they need to shoot themselves in the foot!

    Honestly, I believe a good old fashioned ass whooping would work. He looks like he never taken a punch before and it might do him some good.

    That is a very fascinating and interesting statement. Shall we analyze the statement further? ........................................................................................................
    ....................................................................................................................
    .............................Oh hell yes, he needs a lung knocked loose.

    I don't know what I find more disgusting. Kory making gun owners look like loons or the defeatists in this thread who actually think this one guy has ruined our chances. Just bend over and take it; if shit doesn't go EXACTLY has planned then the whole effort was for naught, wasn't it?

    You know, I think I have defeatists more. I mean, my god, how do you people get through life? Do you guys start arranging ya'lls funerals the moment you start run a 99 degree fever? Did ya'll file for unemployment benefits when ya'll got back a bad report card?

    That's why an election is called a race...

    When I lived in Hawaii, those of Japanese descent would always for for the Japanese descent candidate regardless of party.
    Seriously?


    As soon as a Latino democrat runs in New Mexico for governor , they are gonna suffer magazine limits and probably lose open carry. The last democrat governer claimed to be Latino and got elected, even though he was a white dude named Richardson.



    eta: luckily sandy hook didn't happen while he was in office.

    OCT, LSGR, Texas Carry, CATI (maybe) did NOT kill Constitutional Carry. If anything TWO individuals may have. It's a hard thing, freedom. They have every right to go to the capitol as well as we do, but I sure wish they would have stayed home.

    What I see, out of all this is these guys want their name and faces out there....so if/when OC is passed they can say, "see WE made this happen" or "because of what WE did OC is here". Everybody wants their name in the paper.

    I think it's 50/50. There is a need for leadership... but there's always the temptation to gain a cult following.

    I wouldn't want fatty and snow boots following me anywhere.
