You should not carry a gun.

If one must read the Declaration of Independence ALONG with the
Constitution then how did women get the vote? The D of I does say 'all men'-- must have been a translation problem with 18th century English.
Oh well.

I never carry my gun. I tie a string to the trigger guard and drag it behind me.

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.

Not sure what youre getting at

 

[ContinentalOp]

Never carry a gun around people who have no sense of humor.

GOD bless the USA

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

God given right in the constitution.

God given right. The day you were born you suck air.
The day you die you stop sucking air.

Was there something else god given.

 

[pineappleshooter]

If I am dressed, I am armed. I try to avoid places I can't carry - like NJ.

 

[shouldazagged]

You do it, or not, your way. Your business. I'll do it, or not, my way. My business. That approach pretty well eliminates any necessity of fulminating, sarcasm and debate that can't be resolved.

Guess I'm too tired tonight for this kind of dead horse beating. I'll leave you guys to it.

Yes. The God given right to self preservation. To protect ourselves and family by any means necessary.

Well i cant fight that ridiculous logic. "It is because you say it is" thought we were smarter than that

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

God given right? Naturally, of course. Long before "firearms" or the Bill of Rights existed.

To suggest that no human on Earth has had the right or ever will have the right unless under the subjugation of an organized government, and through their charity bestows such a right upon those they rule, is the type of thinking gun-grabbers rely on.

I like how AWR Hawkins, PhD expresses this.

"We don't have the right to keep and bear arms because the Bill of Rights says so; rather, the Bill of Rights says so because the right to keep and bear arms is intrinsic to our very being: it is a right with which we were endowed by our Creator."

Now, can we get back to the list?
I'm thinking that the list might be expanded enough to where common sense reduced-risk carry can be whittled down to maybe an hour or two a week and a lot less holster wear on my carry guns.

I have been carrying a gun since I was 21. I will be almost 70 in a couple of weeks. I qualify yearly, and can carry most anywhere. My state now has constitutional carry, so if you lived here you could, too.

If you de-rail every thread to start arguments about theology because you're atheistic, you shouldn't.

We're not going to get into religious banter. Banned topic.

Expressing gun carry as a God given natural right (or argue to the contrary) or express God Bless to someone is about it. Beyond that, things get way too contentious and is why it's a banned topic.

I carry wherever it's not prohibited by law (although I don't agree with that, either). It's absolutely ridiculous that most legislation assumes the criminal element cares what the law is. That type of feel good legislation has passed only to appease the liberal progressive communist regime.

Like any tool, it's useless if it's not with you when needed. My own siblings think there's something wrong with folks that carry. Nothing wrong with exercising your rights. Use them or lose them.

I have never "needed" a gun, and have been perfectly capable of defending myself without one, but if worse comes to worse it's worth being prepared. Guns stuck in the safe don't do much good.

I ignore the lame signs and policies claiming company policies have precident over my livelihood. It's none of their business.

Yesterday I spent $100 at a local gunshop. I had stopped at another i frequent, but their gun policy sign offended me,
although they have told me that it did not apply to me. I
went on down the road to another gunshop and bought ammo
and a holster for my lady friend.

Im not. People seem to infer things not stated in a document which irritates the **** outta me as it is intellectually dishonest.

Its like saying its our god given right to vote. Some countries dont vote, is the country suppressing their god given right? Is it a god given right to drink? Was it not a god given right for women to vote? Please lets not be dumb about this.

 

[dogngun]

Well, OK...

I am an old labor/union liberal, and have been carrying for decades, and I think there are people who should not carry guns...but I think there are people who should not drive a car or have kids, either.

FWIW, gun laws - background checks - work great when they are actually applied. Here in PA they have instant background checks, which ARE instant...the longest I have heard of is maybe a few hour or so when the computers crashed...but mine and most others got through in a minute or less. I have seen a guy who wanted to sell a small handgun have to wait for about 20 minutes while the check went through...but what they were doing was stalling him while the cops got there to arrest him on a New York State warrant. He went away in handcuffs, although the gun sale did go through. I was in the shop the whole time.

PA does NOT have a "cooling off period" or a waiting period, and there is no limit to the number of guns you can buy at once - my upper number is 5 at once - so long as you can pay for them. It might be worth noting that my county is VERY heavily Democratic, and we have around 25,000 people licensed to carry in my county alone, most of them liberals. A lot of the things "everybody knows" are not true.

Whatever, dude.

The constitution doesn't give us any rights. Our rights pre-exist the constitution.

If you make a wrong turn in San Diego near the crossing to T.J. you shouldn't.
