SPEAK RIGHTEOUSLY:
You know I'm a words guy.
I think we give up ground in the gun-rights debate when we talk about concealed carry.
Concealed means you're hiding something.
You have something to hide.
People who conceal things may be up to no good.
The AP story on Constitutional Carry relied on saying our guns are hidden.
We have guns to hide. This does not help. It hurts. It's a slur.
What I want is to carry a firearm discreetly.
I'm glad we are close to getting discreet carry in Arizona.
The right to bear arms discreetly is an important right.
When I'm armed, under routine circumstance in public, there is value in being unobtrusive.
Although open carry has its merits, and I'm looking forward to the open-carry picnic scheduled for the capitol on April 19 at noon, being unobtrusive often is a good thing.
You won't find "concealed" or "hide" escaping my lips.
And when I'm discreetly armed, you won't know it.
Because being unobtrusive is a good thing in this day and age.
If the law is enacted, when I put out my announcement about it nationwide, you'll see careful use of language that defies the hate mongers and hoplophobes in the "news" media covering the story. And you will not see that we are now "allowed" to carry discreetly. You'll see we are now free to be discreet. Hopefully, eventually, some of them will pick up on it. I certainly hope you all will.
discretionary carry? courteous carry? considerate carry?
compassionate carry? decent carry? American carry?
subtle carry? handbag carry? normal carry?
