Open Carry - "good for the cause"

[TAB]

OCers and gay rights group both screwed themselfs by being to "in your face"   in ca. it was thru the court system gays won, they got thier ass handed to them twice in elections.   ocers in the rich part of socal, that were looking for a conflict, found one when bills banning oc became law.     so saying we need to be more vocal can and does backfire.    in ass hole can wipe out the posative work of thousands.

You are right about the backfiring.... and on the bold part, I really agree with that.

Sheep need to be conditioned to accept the idea that open carry is legal and poses no threat to the public.

I completely agree. This is as much about "hearts and minds" as it is about being the right thing to do.

Californians lost the right to OC not because people were actually exercising their legal right , but because they are a bunch of sheep who do not demand their rights and therefore don't deserve any of them.
If they really cared about their rights they would ignore the illegal law, and they would not submit to the Mexican invasion, corruption, and incompetence that is driving the worlds 7th largest economy into bankruptcy.

I disagree.  The OC ban was in direct response to all the OCers with video cameras looking to start political confrontations.

I agree on this.  The majority are sheep that voted these clowns in office, to the detriment of folks like me.

Tempting, but I'm not about to risk a firearms violation, potentially jeopardizing confiscation and my future rights to possess or purchase guns.  A law may be unconstitutional, but it's still a law.  The way to fight it is to fight to repeal it or challenge it in the courts, not simply break it.  IMO, bad advice and I hope you were just joking.

Not joking a bit, BUT, the times to have done it effectively were 1934 with the NFA and 1968 with the GCA.
Once the sheep submitted to those they left the door open to any other infringement the gov can get passed.
