OPEN CARRY IDIOTS

Dear open carry rally supporters. I will preface this writing by stating my liberal loving, tree humping, America hating (your words) ass, happens to be a proud gun owner who has a valid concealed carry permit. I am not going to get into my opinion of the "right" to bear arms. That has been decided by the Supreme Court, who, in a sober moment of clarity, has decided, among other things: "like most rights, the second amendment is not unlimited." Sort of makes sense if you think about it. But I digress. You see, while the law of your state may very well state you have the right to openly carry arms in order to protect yourself. I highly doubt they meant for you to carry assault weapons around during a time when it’s a common occurrence for some nut jobs (not given the right to bear arms) to walk into schools, shopping centers, University Campuses, military bases, movie theaters, day care buildings, post offices, and various places, both public and private, and murder hundreds of unarmed and innocent people. You must understand that while you may interpret the law to mean you can freely run around sporting AR-15's and AK-47's, the general public does not agree. In fact, I would argue that in times such as these, that these people have the same rights as you, including the right to protect themselves. And, in my not so humble opinion, if I am out playing baseball on my sidewalk with my 6 year old son, and I see you strolling down the street whistling Proud to Be an American, it is not my job to judge your intent. You see Mr. Penis envy, my job is to protect my son, my family, and myself. I have not had the training nor the experience to tell the difference from a gun toting psycho, and your average white man, expressing his freedom. My freedom tells me I have the right to go anywhere I want without the fear and intimidation that comes with strangers holding assault weapons. I see a man with a rifle running around in public, I feel threatened. The way I see it, it goes like this: dude with big gun. I got two options. 1. Wave to him and I either get a wave back, or he points the gun in my direction. 2. I pull out my gun, tell him to drop his, he expresses his right, I shoot the dumb fuck. Because the law states that I have the right to protect myself if I feel my life is threatened. Consider yourself warned. As far as the law goes, if you idiots keep it up, the public will force the laws to be changed, and in the event of natural disasters, riots, zombie apocalypse, etc. we will not be able to openly carry our weapons, because of dumb asses who must carry a big gun to make them feel manly. That thing on your shoulders is not there to hold your gun strap in place. Use it.
