This is lols. Our lefties are in such fear of concealed carry that they have made open carry the only way allowable by law. Concealed carry permits are ridiculously difficult to get.
Well thats ass backwards.

Yes because people are able to tell who is legally carrying and who isn't. Open carry will just lead to far more police calls of people carrying weapons, wasting police time.

Also lol at the spreading fear thing. You carry because your fearful. So by your own definition what does that make you....

It's based on feelings. Reason and feelings do not mix.

But if it's for your protection it shouldn't matter, right? At least that way you can have it loaded too, right?

You'd rather impose fear on the public than go through some paper work. Righto.

The simple FACT is that as a gun owner you are a minority and have no right to impose fear on the public. Your right to carry a gun in full view  means people have no way of knowing if that is legal or not and therefore no idea if they need to do something to protect themselves from you. Fear breeds fear.
So, minorities must function at the whim of the majority?  If I cause fear in you, I am in the wrong...even if I never acted or even looked in your direction...?  Seems an odd standard to set.

If you are going to fear, fear the people.  A violent criminal is dangerous, no matter what tools they use.
A peaceful person is not a threat, no matter what weapons they have.

Other people's ignorance of the law is NOT a reason to restrict people!


The pocket knife I carry would make me a "dangerous criminal" in the UK...
I use it to open packages and cut rope.
I am no more of a threat to you, with my 3.5inch knife, than someone carrying a gun.  It is about the person, not the object.

No. I prefer concealed carry. I don't wanna see people walking around with a pistol strapped to their hip either. Most places in America require the local sheriff to sign off on a concealed carry permit and many won't do it. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that the local sheriff's department in San Francisco has signed off on less than a handful in the past decade which is why the people in the video walk around with it strapped to their hip. They are obeying the letter of the law.

Hell, in NYC you can't even possess a handgun. They made it illegal. All that does is make you require a larger police force because the criminals know that they can rob people with impunity otherwise. Removing the populaces means of protecting themselves has created a nice racket for the local police force because they know that any drop in their funding will now see an increase in crime rates. It plays on peoples feelings.

Weapons by definition are dangerous, that's the whole point in them.... /facepalm

I can own a "deadly weapon"... listen to your self, your ignorance is astounding. Do some research, seriously. Added to the fact that your bragging of rights to own a deadly weapon. Red neck much?
Fear may breed fear, but so does ignorance -and in this argument the latter is true.  Have you read the US Constitution?  Your ignorance of the argument and firearms in general is astounding.  You do some research, seriously.  I'd wager I know far more about firearms and the gun debate than you ever will.  Also, a proud gun owner does not equate to a red neck.  Bitter much?  Hell, I don't blame you.  I'd be pissed too that my government has trampled over my rights...

I've never read the US constitution, the first/second/third/forth/fifth amendment or the declaration of independence. Care factor is non existent.

Once again, the argument should not be about the law. It should be about the logic and reasoning behind those who open carry.

ANd DBBrinson1, you're clearly a redneck.

Again seriously do some research. I CAN legally own a gun...

And your "Oh wait, my forefathers did get pissed and broke away from your gov.  Good thing they had guns." thing makes no sense. Are you seriously suggesting you could stand up against a modern day military force with your semi automatic weapons and monster trucks.

ANd DBBrinson1, you're clearly a redneck.
If you don't understand the laws of the land, or care enough to know as to why they were legislated, then why are you bothering to argue?  You are attacking law abiding citizens who have committed no crime.  In a perfect world there would be no crime, wars or guns -hence no reason/need for carry.  Since this obviously isn't the case, these aspects are critical to this debate.  If you cannot recognize this, then with all due respect leave the argument.

If being a "redneck" means that I clearly understand the Gun Debate, then Thank you.  WEEEEEHHHAAAAAW!

Great -go try to by a handgun and tell me how that goes for ya.  What I gave you was a dig on your country's shitty gun control laws and nothing more.   For the record, I could legally buy a full auto (CLASS III).

*edit:  I bet the King said the same shit back when he found that the colonies were breaking away.... Go bow down now.

BECAUSE THE ARGUMENT IS NOT ABOUT THE LAW. THE ARGUMENT IS ABOUT THE MORALS INVOLVED FOR THOSE WHO OPEN CARRY AND THE EFFECT IT HAS ON THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF THE ISSUE, IT IS NOT ABOUT THE LEGALITY, IT IS ABOUT THE ETHICS AND MORALS INVOLVED. THE LAW IS NOT ETHICS AND MORALS. THEREFORE MY APPARENT LACK OF KNOWLEDGE FOR ANOTHER COUNTRY'S GUN LAWS IS NOT RELEVANT TO THE DEBATE.

And yes, caps is cruise control for cool. Is it drilled far enough into your thick skull now?

You FAIL again.
There were ethical decisions involved in making the laws, but apparently you can't be bothered with such details.  Your last sentence reeks with irony and your spelling sucks too.

I'd rather have a gun and not need it, then need it and not have it. I carry daily and don't give a shit if someone thinks I do it to be a "tough guy" or to look "cool". I do it to protect myself and loved ones should I need to. It's your responsibility to protect and ensure the safety of yourself and your family. A firearm is just one tool required to do so.

Wouldn't it be more wise to move to a less dangerous country than to wield a dangerous weapon?

Serious question, if it's for your loved ones and all that.

No, I don't think so. I feel safe where I am and enjoy firearms. I've lived here for almost 30-years now and have had very few issues. Man and violence is present everywhere in the world, at least here I can easily obtain firearms. As many firearms and ammunition as I want, as often as I want. Carrying a firearm is not only for defense against humans, but animals too. Once you become comfortable carrying a firearm it's not a big deal or inconvenience. It's just one more thing I grab when I head out the door.

If I feel safe why do I carry a pistol?
For the unknown, anything can happen at any time, if I were expecting trouble I'd wear body armor and carry a rifle.

OK.

1. What ethical basis are you arguing from?
2. What are the ethical considerations for carrying a potentially lethal machine.
3. Does carrying them openly or concealed make an ethical difference?
