You should not carry a gun.

[Biginge]

I carry everywhere I go. If it is prohibited I just don't go there. Last time I went to jury duty I informed the judge that I would not be back until the county provided a place for me to store my handgun while doing my civic duty. I will NOT leave it in my car. I have needed my gun once. I am sure glad I had it. I simply will no longer go where it is illegal. If family/friend is in hospital I might make an exception.

Being retired for quite a while has made this more plausible than those that are still working.

Do not carry while tubing down a whitewater river. Just don't do it. You'll either lose it or ruin it.

After a church shooting in Texas several years ago the preacher ask how many of the congregation were carrying right then - - - right at 10% - - - she said thanks she is glad we are there to protect her and the rest of the congregation!

Don't open carry a long gun. Even if it's effective in getting handgun open carry legalized after over 100 years of being illegal.

Sorry Texas.

No, you can either carry a stainless gun or a plastic one. They can't rust.

i think i'm going back to my club... wood does not rust, its not polymer so no stigma, and its not black so its not evil! for back up, i'm gonna carry a water balloon in each front pocket and a whistle around my neck for when i need extra help.

No, you can either carry a stainless gun or a plastic one. They can't rust.

The word stainless is a likelyhood, not a certainty. They both can be lost, and one can be broken on the rocks. Plus you can't hit anything in white water.

Do not carry a gun while your frying bacon naked.

Man... My baseball bat is black... Looks like I can't even carry that.

Looks like it's time to make a Buford Pusser Walking Tall Commemorative landscaping timber.

One of the most valuable things my father ever taught me was to not worry about the stupid opinions of dopes who couldn't give a damn if I lived or died. That advice has kept me alive and out of jail for quite a while.

Years ago, when she found out I had my Ohio CHL, my mother told me she didn't want me to carry.

I just asked her if she intended to follow me around and act as my human shield. She replied "no", and that was the last such request on her part.

But, but, but what if I meet a bear?

I guess this thread is kind of like breathing: they should outlaw breathing, because, you know, 100% of all people that breathe end up dead.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it's wrong.

I didn't see anyone mention the recent SC church shooting in which nine people lost their lives. I don't know if it's legal to carry to church in SC but if there had been one profane individual amongst them how many could have been saved?

I'm learning that there are so many times and places I should not carry a gun I'm going to have to start making a list.

Carrying a gun in the home or having access to a gun in certain rooms like a bathroom indicates paranoia or otherwise suffering a mental disorder.

Never carry a gun if you might have to stop somewhere that requires the gun being left in the vehicle. Leave the gun at home.

Don't carry a gun to social gatherings. Someone at the party might be offeded by guns. Leave gun in vehicle before going in. Ooooops don't do that either.

To bear arms is a God given right, but carrying a gun in a church is profane.

Do not open carry. Only idiots open carry.

Bearing a gun is not a god given right. I dont see anywhere where the constitution states that its a god given right.

The 'Whataburger' Hamburger chain corporate office made a statement the other day, saying that when TX goes Licensed Open Carry in Jan, they will NOT allow OC in their Franchises.

Another tempest in a teapot. Just as you will have the right to open carry at the beginning of 2016, the Whataburger chain will continue to have the right to tell you that it won't be allowed in their places of business. That's their right.

But I won't be surprised to see a few whiny ten-cent lawsuits filed by Texas gun owners who feel their rights are being trampled on cause they can't carry a gun while they're eating their junk burger and drinking their chocolate shake.

Speaking for myself, a burger (or anything else) prepared by a fast food "restaurant" simply ain't worth the trouble.

Bearing a gun is not a god given right. I dont see anywhere where the constitution states that its a god given right.

I believe that argument has been debated & covered extremely well in many of the Closed/Locked threads below (especially the recently locked OC v CC thread.)

Your father was a wise man.

You've not read the Constitution in conjunction with the Declaration, as intended. The god given inalienable rights are supported by the right to keep and bear arms . . .

Im afraid youre reaching. Can you maybe expand more to connect the dots? All im reading is God given in alienable rights such as life liberty and pursuit of happiness. If youre trying to state 2a falls under such as, then we'll get nowhere

Laws regarding firearms are NOT god given but cast in our Constitution where the term god is not even mentioned. Hope this fact does not provoke too massive an outcry. But fact is fact.
