They are bullying these places into making a choice between following the law and doing their bidding, which is the complete ban of all guns. <br /><br />Of course Tweedledee dumb and Tweedledee dumber weren't helping anything. One thing they need to do is learn how to dress. The fat one looks like he just crawled out of bed. Clean jeans, a nice shirt, even if it's a t-shirt would help a lot. And that other idiot holding his SKS at low ready was really a stupid move.

This is a legislative battle that I'm sure is ongoing, and I have no doubt that eventually it will be won.<br /><br />I'm also quite sure that in certain parts of Texas having a rifle close at hand is a very good idea. I'm just not convinced that Chipoltes is one of those places.<br /><br />Bob, thanks for pointing out this wasn't an organized demonstration; I didn't really know the intimate details. What I saw...and more importantly, what John Q Public saw...was folks toting AKs and ARs around like it was Somalia. This loses the PR battle for us.<br /><br />I will agree that calling the antis out for pulling places like Starbucks and Chipoltes into the fight is something we need to counter, but if we play their game, on ground of their choosing, we are going to lose.

I think there is a misconception that the ...Larry,<br /><br />I think there is a misconception that the Open Carry Texas folks staged some sort of demonstration at Chipotle.<br /><br />That simply isn't true. They were doing a walk and stopped to eat. Just exactly what normal people would do; we have to show that carrying a firearm doesn't change people.<br /><br />Moms Demanding Attention saw the picture and started the issue up with Chipotle. Let's call them out because they are putting the restaurants in the middle of the fight; not the Open Carry folks.<br /><br />The other misconception here is that Open Carry of Handguns is possible in Texas. It isn't.<br /><br />It is illegal.<br /><br />Open Carry Texas is showing how ridiculous it is that we can carry rifles and shotguns openly but not handguns.<br /><br />Let's keep the focus on the antis who are pushing against our rights, eh?<br /><br />Bob S.<br />3 Boxes of BS<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35333449.post-44587511978529284062014-05-20T08:08:17.074-04:002014-05-20T08:08:17.074-04:00"as is typical once the jackasses got wind of..."as is typical once the jackasses got wind of it they thought it would be a good idea to bring their Evil Black Rifles in to, I don't know, "make a statement" or some such bullshit as that."<br /><br />No, OC of a handgun is illegal in Texas. It's long gun or no gun for OC in the Lone Star State. <br /><br />The problem isn't that they're OCing rifles. It's that they can't leave them slung and they can't stop posing for photographs instead of just getting some food.Sean D Sorrentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02710448105506060349noreply@blogger.com
