Hurt and dissapointed... but very proud. Cabelas open carry.

I really hope this isn't a version of the anti-gunners attack along the lines of "What, does the 2nd Amendment give you the right to have nukes, bazookas, and to roll up in your Panzer!?"

We haven't even gotten a full description of events and how conversations went. No cops were called. No panic was incited. No negative evening news story was run. Yet people on here assumed that he just started running around dress in a trenchcoat and tactical vest scaring the bejesus out of folks. Do I agree with his approach, not necessarily, but I think people need facts before they lash out and burn bridges with people who are obviously enthusiastic of about 2A rights and are willing to take action. Sure there action is controversial, as we see here, but let's not jump to irrational conclusions and remarks like those whom we fight against in other battles.

I too would like to know JTH's analysis, he always breaks things down and comes to conclusions based on good logic... and then backs that up.

the loaded unloaded quesiton has more to do with the intent

if he took his long gun in there unloaded than it was simply for show and provided to personal defense ability, other than it becomes and awkward blunt object.
This, serves no point.

I support open carry, however I don't always want people to know I have my sidearm, so I conceal carry. I would encourage people to go take the conceal carry class  and get the permit because people look at those numbers to see how many gun owners do it, if you open carry in la vista what impact are you really making? I'd be majority households in La Vista has a firearm

Mudinyeri:
Simply put, Cabela's is private property.  They have a policy related to unconcealed firearms that is legally enforceable on that property.  By entering their property, you agree to abide by that policy.  If you enter their store and flagrantly violate their policy, you should expect to be treated in a way similar to how you have treated them - with disrespect. 

My rights end where yours begin ... or better stated, the OP and his friends' rights ended where Cabela's rights began.  It is both ironic and unfortunate that an individual seeking respect for his own rights violates the rights of others.

No, I didn't intend to make a slippery-slope argument. Rather, I was going to the extreme situation to show that open carrying can create a lot of different responses. I would imagine we all fall on a spectrum somewhere.

For example, I likely wouldn't think twice of a person open carrying a holstered pistol. Have that guy carrying an AK in a place of business and I would probably steer clear of him.
