Leave your guns at home

I think that means fewer customers. For a lot of men (everywhere in the world of course) a gun is like a perfect penis - always erect, always ready to fire, and they cannot do without...

Pio1980 05-20-2014 07:59 AM

I'm OK with concealed carry for folks vetted by a reliable background check, not so much with public place open carry for non-LEO non-uniformed civilians. I expect certain merchants will be armed either way.

Sad state of affairs when people have to be told to leave their guns at home when going for fast food. 😟

First time I saw this with a customer was at a Five Guys in B'ham, the guy with me is a gun guy tho' not NRA and he didn't know if it was legal (it is). There was a restaurant on a hillside outside of Hamilton Montana my mother liked where the proprietor had a Western style hog leg revolver strapped to his hip which I thought rather odd, I expect pawn brokers to be armed as a rule.

Mark Walters is a moron. BTW - his show is on the Salem Radio Network, which specializes in Christian Talk Radio. Go figure.

Jesus weasel radio is crowding NPR at the bottom of the band here, making getting a clear signal somewhat difficult. The sanctimonious assholes come in just fine, effing FCC should have done some surveys before granting their permits.

This is the only issue that I have. Why does one need to carry an assault rifle into a fast food joint?

MrPots 05-21-2014 01:57 PM

Attention whores trying to prove a point. I think they're are idiots myself.

If they are so pansy ass afraid of going out for fast food, they need to fucking stay home. Don't go around freaking other people out.

Jesus, the mental illness in this country is overwhelming....

Why does anybody need to carry an assault rifle anywhere? Why does anybody need to carry an assault rifle from their basement to their living room?

The only people who should be carrying assault rifles are military personnel and law-enforcement personnel. And with the latter, only SWAT personnel or under extreme circumstances when the firepower is necessary to quell some nonsense from wack-job militia types, wack-job survivalist types, wack-job religious types, wack-job Cliven Bundy's neighbors or any other wack-jobs

300 million guns in America. Millions of gun owners - that means there are naturally a lot of morons amongst them.

We have very strict gun laws in Germany. Anyway the officials estimate that there are some 20 million non registered guns in our country. And I can tell you - a lot of morons amongst those owners, illegal or not, as well!

donquixote99 05-22-2014 09:25 AM

It's very hard to have a group of millions of people, without the distribution of traits being remarkably 'average.'

Oh sorry, but the FCC is a regulatory agency, not an enforcement agency. Next!

Chipotle is a very scary place. Almost as foreboding and filled with dangerous psychopaths as Chuck-E-Cheese.:rolleyes:

If you believe that try running your own unlicensed broadcasting station for a while and see who shows up at the door. They have the authority to enforce noninterference regulations against illegal operations.

The FCC must've been that regulatory agency that Rick Perry couldn't remember from the 'pubbie primary debates. ;)

Maybe black & brown Democrats like to own firearms?... just maybe?

Ike Bana 06-03-2014 01:23 PM

Stupid people with guns.

a Fond du Lac, Wis., man, in the abdomen, while using a screwdriver to dislodge a round from his pistol (August);

a Nacogdoches, Texas, woman, in the foot while trying to kill a snake on her property (September) (and the same woman, again trying to kill a snake, shot herself in the other foot the next day);

a Tennessee Highway Patrolman, in the leg as he holstered his pistol while chasing a fleeing suspect near Maryville (August);

a teenage boy, in the leg while fleeing after robbing a food store in New Caney, Texas (August);

a 33-year-old Milwaukee man, in the leg while fleeing after robbing a man on the street (October).

And Danny Walden, Taylorsville, Ky., was shot by the rifle he had set up in his home as a booby trap to protect his 115 marijuana plants (October).

Thinning the herd.

Hey, I'm very much pro second amendment. I'm not pro stupid or paranoid though and those that are so paranoid they cannot leave the house without a weapon* I deem to be mentally unfit to carry.


*exception made for professions that require.

Well written response.

djv8ga 06-03-2014 04:25 PM

We should protest & raise Hell in front of all chipotles. Maybe bring airsoft guns just to piss off the gun grabbers. Just run that joint right into bankruptcy! ;)

I think that's a pretty good test right there.

Ike Bana 06-03-2014 10:39 PM

Anybody who would file a concealed carry application is unfit to carry.

So, when a business makes a policy you don't like, it's okay to "protest & raise hell" until you've run them out of business?

Well, okay for YOU, anyhow. Anybody else that does the same, say union employees.....

Then, what do you call it?:rolleyes:

I just find it fascinating that the first anti-concealed carry laws were made about 200 years ago--------because it was believed that only criminals hide their weapons.

Now, we're told we must tolerate concealed carry, because "a good man with a gun" might just save us from----criminals.

HarmanKardon 06-04-2014 01:13 AM

"A good man with a gun" refers to a quote of an NRA Boss, is that right?

I'd rather have open carry allowed and concealed carry banned, but we have just the opposite here in Florida.

And it's the Chamber of Commerce Republicans that want it that way.

They are afraid that it would hurt the tourist industry if the tourists ever found out how many of the locals are packing heat down here.

And they are probably right about that.

Y'know Tom...I think at this point I have something of a handle on where you're coming from with this issue. Thing is for me...concealed, open or whatever, the whole concept of people feeling the need to wander around with firearms...well it's just nuts.

Particularly when one reminds oneself that for every successful personal defense employing the use of a firearm, there are 43 wrongful firearm deaths in this country. And that the majority of those wrongful deaths are not random or targeted gang related or mass shootings...they are shootings done by somebody the victim knows.

PS - the Chamber of Commerce is a conservative republican political tool and should be outed as such at every opportunity. Anything any Chamber of Commerce might accomplish that is of some marginal benefit to the community is outweighed by their blatant political partisanship.

Pio1980 06-04-2014 09:04 AM

I think I prefer cc for the same reason I'm more comfortable with folks that keep their 'junk' covered to keep things civil. OTOH oc removes doubt about the consequence of aggressive behavior but also tends to convey it's own aggressive challenge.
