I don't open carry.
- I have no need (?therefore no right?)
- I don't want people to be frightened
(?by exercising my right - IF I have one?)
My, my. I'm SOOOO civilized. Sarah and Jimmy Brady would be SOOOO proud....
..."shall not be infringed"?? No need for the Second Amendment, except for stupid, drunken, ignorant rednecks and dope dealers, right?

I'll tell you why I (just "I") don't carry open. I don't have the balls.
IF it is the person - and NOT the gun - that is the threat, and
IF we have the right to carry so long as we do not create a "threatening demeanor" (whatever the hell that means!),
THEN it's just a matter of fact that we let this "right to carry" slip through our fingers and into dust.
How far must we go not to upset, worry, concern, or in any way frighten the government-teat suckers.
Frankly, I'm ashamed of myself and my ancestors for letting it become "provocative" or "frightening" (or whatever) that I no longer dare "open carry" when I stop at a grocery store and by some chips and soft drinks on the way to the range.

DC,
It's the 28th. This IS my date to feel "owly" isn't it?
