Well written response.

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.

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?

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.

"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.

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.
