Quote:It’s a beautiful day in Pacific Beach as Nate approaches the bronze pelican statue on the boardwalk. He’s slight and blond, spectacled and clad in jeans and an army-green T-shirt. He squints. The sun’s so bright overhead that he is prompted to spray a fine mist of sunblock over his fair skin to stave off a burn.

I’ve never met Nate before, but I know it’s him (a) because I’ve seen his picture and (b) due to the handgun that sits on a holster against his hip. I’m about to get up from where I’m sitting and introduce myself when someone else beats me to the punch. A scraggly-looking beachgoer, a man of indeterminable age because he is so weather-beaten, approaches.

“What’s that for, bro?” he asks, pointing in the direction of Nate’s gun, a Taurus Tracker .44 Magnum revolver.

Before Nate can answer, the man continues.

“There are surfers at the beach looking to party, and you show up with that? That’s not right. Love life! Be mellow!”

This is when I walk up and introduce myself. The beachgoer looks at me for a moment with wild blue eyes, then looks back at Nate, as Nate is beginning to explain what he will have to reiterate time and time again to concerned and/or interested parties: he is open carrying.

Kind of a long read, but worth the time.

Cliff notes: A journalist gets to experience the logistics of open carrying in San Diego, CA, interviews a couple of activists, and takes to the range for the first time.

Do it in Tucson, and people don't even notice.

It really bothers me that the extent of the argument against guns is pretty much "Carrying guns is wrong because guns kill people and killing people is wrong so guns = murderers and this is all logical why cant you see it?!?! No guns means no killing!!!!11"


I've never had any luck trying to convince an anti-gun person of anything sane. They are immune to logic, statistics, and sound thinking.

Liberals are retarded. The guy I work with who is the biggest liberal douche ever even tried to tell me once that liberals are by and large more intelligent than their conservative counterparts.

[RotorheadFred]

I consider myself more liberal then conservative. I don't see anything wrong with carrying. Like the chick in AvP said, "better to have one and not need it, then to need one and not have it."

[En-Gay-Ged]

I'm a liberal. And I think carrying guns just makes sense. It would provide a greater sense of security, and would increase the amount of security at places, because there will be more people watching the rednecks with their guns.

The rednecks with guns are the least of your worries.

Ya'll niggas is crazy.

I love how MSNBC made a big huge deal aobut the guy carrying the AR15 to the obama rally in phoenix, practically cumming all over themselves about crazy rednecks and racism.

Too bad they we're too stupid to realize that the video guys edited it out so you couldn't see it was a black guy carrying the rifle.

That or they just lied through their teeth. A left leaning news show lying? Never.

Of course.....because right wing news shows report absolutely nothing but pure fact, is that what you're trying to say?
