Many states allow stores to post signs prohibiting different types of carry. For quite a few of those states the standard "gun-busters" sign won't do. It has to be a specific sign, specific size, with specific language. If you decide to enter one of those places that is posted in accordance to the law you are breaking the law. Any store in any state can ask you to leave for any reason though, and if you refuse you can be charged with trespassing.

Some freedom loving people get upset when other people use their freedom though...

Here is the thing, Freedom isnt true freedom. True Freedom in Anarchy.

Spoken like a college boy indoctrinated in all the hep cat left wing bs that a California college offers.
No. Thats not what freedom is.

I dont believe that no.. Im just making a joke. Freedom in america is an interesting concept. We obviously are not free to do anything, like Own Nuclear Weapons or A Sacrifice. So what is freedom?

Personally, I don't havea problem with open carry, however, I feel that some of these demonstrations are doing more harm than good to the pro gun movement. In fact, I strongly suspect that some of the more extreme cases might very likely be coming from the antigun left just to discredit the gun legit open carry activists. It's really screwed up. And I don't see it getting any better any time soon. One thing is certain, people have finally hand enough of this over reaching government and started to stand up to it, look at the protesters who stopped the buses full of illegal immigrants, the EPA and bundy ranch/ militias, and now the open carry rallies. As long as cool heads prevail I am all for it. I do think that if this was 20 years ago with Janet Reno being in charge the bundy ranch would have turned into an all out war with a blood bath on both sides.

Going through an S curve, then leaning in and winding out the throttle on your bike as you come out of it until the engine screams.
-Freedom.

Waking up the next day and not having to pay for that full body cast.
-Canadian Health Care.

Praying that your kids never do that.
-Parenting.

Oh I remember now. It was about a family of pedophiles that raises their kids for the purge.
Like I said, he thought it should have been a dark movie that disturbs. He said "It should show what happens when all restrainst are gone for even a miniscule night"
He said the most disturbing would be "The Next day" In which everyone would be shown to be living a normal life. The Rapist a teacher, The guy who killed the clerk a Mailman and the family ushering their kids to school

It actually is irrelevant to public opinion who is doing the open carry. If open carry scares the average citizen they won't care about the party affiliation of the open carrier.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

True. It matters though if anti gun false flaggers are doing it.

No it doesn't.

If the law allows people to wander around "insert local department store/amusement park/shopping mall" with a military style assault rifle, scaring the yummy mummies, it is irrelevant if the people who point that out by doing it are pro or anti doing it.

It actually doesnt work like that. You shoot someone because you think they look threatening will land you in jail.

WTH is "old carry" anyway?

It matters if the crew doing it wants to pass said legislation, when before them it was never an issue in the first place.

Maybe....

But is any of that considered "threatening" enough to get someones panties in a twist to the point that they think it merits shooting the person committing the fashion faux pas?

No, people are tired of the government not enforcing the law when it should, ignoring the law when it shouldn't, and making it up as they go when ever they want.

These are two of the more whacked out examples of government sticking it's damn nose where it doesn't belong. In recent news you have the IRS targeting conservative groups, spying, refusal to secure the southern border and threats to prosecute the states that are trying to do it themselves, increasing debt, the list goes on and on. Just look at the Supreme Court shooting down several of this administrations laws. They know that it's crossing the line.
