Gunscribe,
I'm no more for taking away someone's right to bear arms than I assume you are in favor of eliminating private property rights.
Of course Texas should change their laws, but that's a different discussion. Look up the pictures of these guys. If they walked into a business I own, I'd be telling them to leave as well. That is not depriving them of their rights anymore than someone's first amendment rights are violated by being banned from an internet forum.

I never said they couldn't or shouldn't be asked to leave. Since this is about Texas how in the world can it be a different discussion?
I am just sick and tired of the "If you can't do it the way I do it or approve of they you don't need to be doing it attitude."
There is just too many people that want to hide under the bed hoping they can maintain what we have rather than standing up on their hind legs and fighting to take some back.
"Oh please be quiet", they say, "Don't rattle the sabers they might try to take what little we have left."
"Lets stick our heads in the sand and maybe they won't notice us."
Concealed carry did not get passed in Nebraska because we hid under the bed. Some of you that haven't been around that long haven't got a clue what it took to get this in places like Arizona, Ohio, Wisconsin, Virginia and yes Nebraska.
There are no positive gun stories to these people. Even in the most rightious of gun use stories the anti's see them as negetive and use them to push for more gun control. Even if there are no stories at all they make stuff up never ceasing to push for an outright ban on the 2A.
If we stop fighting and only whisper to each other, about how some gun owners are idiots, from behind our gun safes we will lose what some of us have worked to gain in the last 20 years.

I don't think anyone is telling you or anyone what they can or can't do, rather just thoughts and ideas of what helps or hurts our cause. They're just opinions right or wrong.
I personally can't see a benefit to taking your AR into an eating establishment in order to show off for a photo shoot. You think its a great idea evidently. But I think you might be a little disingenuous if you think they were carrying for self protection reasons. I carry for self protection, and I don't stop for some live action shots in public with my firearm, not saying that you can't, mind you.
Just my opinions.
Gary:
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are
the people's liberty teeth keystone... the rifle and the pistol are
equally indispensable... more than 99% of them by their silence indicate
that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms
everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we
need them every hour. "
-- President George Washington in his 1st address
to Congress
