Nebraska is not 1950" Switzerland. I am very much pro 2nd Amendment. I am also very pro chocolate cake. Lots of frosting. O and ice cream. French vanilla. While I am eating chocolate cake, and vanilla ice cream, is it my right, to toss cake and ice cream, on others, while in my exuberance, to enjoy my right to eat, and if I get others soiled, spoiled, and bothered, who cares, I have my rights?
(sorry to get worked up, but when I realize just how important Chocolate Cake and French Vanilla Ice Cream is to me, I get all chocked up)

Gary, I'm the same way with Vanilla cake and Vanilla ice cream. Yep, I go to Baskin Robbins and order vanilla.

Or you only get all swelled up with yourself when someone does it in the manner you dictate it must be done.
So, if a person only owns a long gun they don't have a Right to bear arms and have to standby and watch their wives and daughters raped and murdered?

Gunscribe, I can see where your coming from, but I'm going to have to take Ayoob's side. Long gun toten' scally wags (the ones that do selfies in stores) aren't doimg us CC people any favors. If all they have are long guns, maybe the should save up for a carry sidearm.
Edit: So if someone was to legally own a M60 machine gun in full battery, bazooka or shoulder fire weapon, it would be ok to carry those in any store that allowed open carry? I know this is in the extreme, just wondering when open carry becomes extreme. End Edit.
This debate is like which came first, the chicken or egg.
Think we're both right, just different theories.

I OC'd for the first time (ish) over the weekend. Maybe it had something to do with celebrating Kansas's latest Pro Gun legislative work having went into affect on the 1st. Maybe I just felt like it. (and with the heat, it worked well. )
Anyway, first outing was in lil Superior NE, on a fuel stop at the local Casey's. Yeah, not a big risk, but broke my cherry, so to speak.
After carrying all over my hometown for a couple days, we went to the next town over and ate. As I walked into this great little Mexican joint and seeing the Families- with kids and elders, and knowing the owner was a great guy running a great restaurant, I simply untucked my (DPMS ) shirt and covered (most of) my .45 and holster, and sat with my right side facing the wall. I simply did this out of respect for his business and the patrons. (I sure didn't want to ruin any chance to get back and sample the Quesadilla San Jaun ;) )
Heckle me all you want, but respect DOES go both ways.
gsd:
I have absolutely no problem with those who wish to OC. I have done it on occasion prior to obtaining my CHP.
To those who ask my views, it is simply this: Have at it, but have respect for those around you.
As stated above, if all you can afford is an SKS in a plastic fantastic CrapCo stock, perhaps you should save up and spend $450 on a Ruger, or similarly priced sidearm.
Edit: Mmmm...Chocolate Cake.
Gary:
I think the guy (or committee) that issued the Target press release is smarter than the average bear. The letter was very well done and points directly at the problem inside the issue of guns in public places like big box stores. Open carry is the subject of that letter, not guns in general.
As the saying goes, I do have a dog in this fight. Several dogs. I am very pro NRA, and I thiink the NRA has not been in support of "in your face" rifle toting people in shopping malls.
I am also a long time CC person. My first permit goes back 3 decades. In all that time, I have long time friends that do not know I carry. It is none of their business any more than them knowing what goes on in my bedroom.
If martal law hits someday and the country is torn apart with anyone wishing to put ausnder my constitutional rights, I will have no problem standing watch holding a long gun.
Gary:
O and frosting is critical. That better half of mine sometimes wonders in with a bunt cake from sams club. Well. I have two problems with that. First, what's up with the big hole in the middle of the cake ? Who designed that ? Weight watchers ? I can tell you for sure, I have no need for a giant hole in my cake.
Secondly, this sams club bunt cake has a total mass of frosting that could get lost in your eye. What is the point of frosting a cake, with almost no frosting on it?
Hey, that sams club bunt cake is doing concealed carry frosting except it is peaking just enough to call it open carry frosting. Lol.
