AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State
 
:evil:
The mean face is because I am quite upset and want your gentlemen's agreement!

On Friday, I was in a parking lot containing several restaurants during lunch times. Two bright and shiny obvious government SUVs pulled in. Believe me, where I liveI KNOW. A government SUV when I see one!They parked a distance away from all other vehicles. It was quite warm and most people were in shirt sleeves, business dress slacks, etc. two men emerged from each SUV. All four had Glock 9m on their waist. They looked around. Then low and behold, they reached into the SUVs, pulled out their suit coats, put them on and walked over to IHOP. Curiosity got the best of me. I went in and watched as they were seated with menus. NO ONE ELSE in the restaurant had on a suit coat.

I am angry because these officers of a Federal Agency had to do what NO ONE else had to do. Because those scary inanimate objects might jump right off their hip and dance around and traumatize someone by being in sight, these men had to eat lunch in their suit coats.

You know, maybe I should seek psychological help. After all, I did see a big scary gun. Will you help pay for my treatment? Thank you for your support for my mental anguish.

AuntiE, I agree with you on this one. I am licensed to carry, concealed or not, in my state and have to deal all the time with making sure my pistol cannot be seen. What is worse, I live in the mid-west. But, as I work and shop in a metropolitan area, I have to make sure my gun, when it is on my hip, is invisible. If I do not have my gun concealed, I am asked to leave some establishments because someone MIGHT object to, or become offended by, me having it or its existence in general.

It is all because I do not carry a badge when I carry my gun openly. I am not a law-enforcement officer. If someone saw a gun and a badge on the same person, they would not, normally, tell the assumed officer to leave their establishment. I have heard where this has happened. I cannot imagine what happens to a minority in this country who openly and legally carries a gun in public.

Why is it that the not Constitutionally protected objection has more power in this country than the Constitutionally protected right to "keep and bear arms".

I am tired of people thinking they have the RIGHT not to be offended. I am tired of people thinking they have the RIGHT to be heard. The First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech. No where in that amendment, or any other for that matter, does it say we have the right to be heard, listened to or heeded.

Now you have to understand that leaners have all the rights you say here that they don't have. They even have a right to call people like me stupid for not thinking like they do. I am saying this because I just got through posting to one who accuses me of being stupid for not thinking like he does.

I could carry my handgun on my hip in open sight in my state but don't have a license to conceal it and don't want one enough to get it. That would put my name on a list that may find its way to the Obama people when they start trying to round them up.

You is in need of some help. when you said You is to AuntiE you sounded like Amos and Andy of the 50s and 60s. They were being that way to make little of the way black people tended to use verbs. Do some studying about the use of is and are as verbs in real usage.

Combining is with a plural verb is pretty wrong too. I am letting him get by with his spelling but don't think I will do it for him on grammar.

I will take the spelling. You handle the grammar.

Frankly, he did not in any way, shape or form understand the gist of the forum subject.

Concealed carry means to keep your gun from view of others. Many CCW states can pull your permit for brandishing if you do not keep it covered. Most of the time my wife does not know when I am carrying and I do not want anyone else to know either. If a bad guy sees the print of your gun through your clothing you may be the first person he shoots if he is up to no good.

They seldom do understand things like that unless they come from other leaners.

If I can make a suggestion. I conceal carry a .45 cal. 1911A1. It's holstered in an IWB (inside waistband) and I wear a button down shirt over it. It doesn't show a print and what I also did was purchase a concealed carry badge and placed it on my belt next to the pistol. That way if the shirttail should happen to flip up, the person or persons would see the badge and hopefully be put at ease."They couldn't read the print on the badge before you covered up". One other thing you may want to consider is not to open carry. I for one don't want anyone to know that I'm armed, but this is my personal choice. I hope you don't mind the info.

I am so pleased that each of you has had a chance to discuss all kinds of weapon things...SERIOUSLY....I mean that.

When the hades are you going to come up with the $s for my counseling after the trauma of seeing a big scary gun? You seem not to care at all about my mental anguish. R E A L L Y!!! I have tried to be a kind commenter.

Ok, AuntiE, now that we know that you are a flip-flopper like most liberals, I promise to commit $0.05 to your therapeutic treatments. But, I am sending it C.O.D. :-).

To usmc4:
I do carry concealed in an IWB holster myself. My b***h is that I have to do so to prevent some easily frightened i***t, who thinks I carry a gun so I can k**l people, from calling the police and forcing me to deal with that hassle. I prefer to carry concealed. But, since the Second Amendment grants me the right to "keep and bear arms", while not saying any where "in concealment", I feel that my rights as given by the Bill of Rights are being violated.

AuntiE, as I assumed the last section of your original post was meant as a joke given the language of your original post and then given what you posted here:

I thought you were making a second joke about your stance on open carry guns. I was trying to make fun at your expense in referring to you being a liberal. I must have failed miserably if you took what I said to mean I thought you were a liberal. That is why I added the smiley face. Sometimes my thinking does not t***slate well to writing.
