    The first time I saw that in person it was surreal. In my city you would be surrounded by a police platoon and on the news within two hours for doing that. What is the general idea for people who carry around an exposed sidearm like that? Is a form of protest, fashion, or do they believe they may actually become involved in a fire fight?

    it’s not just a south thing, I’ve seen it in Michigan more than I have Florida.

    I took that picture in north Texas when I went to get some lunch one day. Everyone just stares at these people. It doesn’t feel normal. I think these people have some kind of hero fantasy where they get to shoot their way out of a situation and get to be on the news or something.

    Common theme there is "state", not Fed.

    The CT folks had a hard swing on that after the school shooting there (cant remember which one, ffs).

    I think the Democrats dying on this hill is a good thing, actually doing gun control badly is political suicide.

    Yup. Cali is the same way. My brother’s high school friend is a prosecutor in LA. He’s been on the waiting list for a CCW for years and he puts gangbangers away for life.

    The state level tactics, particularly Cali, has taken its cues from the abortion fanatics. You pass enough regulations and hoops to jump through without banning guns outright (because of that pesky constitution) you eventually turn people off to it altogether. Sort of like requiring medical doctors at clinics or double wide doors for patient transport. All in the guise of safety but just underhanded ways around the law to snuff it out.

    The proposed Virginia bill banning semiauto weapons and high capacity magazines is sent to committee for a year and idiots on the gun rights side immediately do this: Gun rights activist protests with a shotgun outside Virginia delegates home

    co-sign, but to add that for some and in some situations in is a little bit of fashion. It’s generally a lot of older folk who you’ll see doing that, always a leather holster, always a revolver.

    Nope. Every time I've seen it down here, it's short, middle aged, chubby accountant-looking types with Glocks.

    Whenever I see that, I instantly assume that the guy must be sporting three inches when juiced on Viagra.

    yeah up here it’s more the wannabe cowboy types. They usually also have a buck folding knife in a leather case at about their 5 o clock.

    there’s a whole debate in the gun community about these 2nd amendment audit people. Like really dude? Be realistic. You’re scaring the kids and soccer moms. Just shut up and put your shirt over it like the rest of us. Plus god forbid someone actually comes into the store intent on doing harm! If I notice and keep a mental note of people like that, you sure as shit know bad dudes are tracking them too. There’s literally no point or benefit to open carrying in public.

    Only time I ever open carry is when I’m on the ranch doing work. Only people that care or can see me might be my dogs.

    So did anyone see the Democratic debates last night?

    I thought Bloomberg really took it in the ass.

    I saw that. I hope whatever went up his ass was dipped in resins and glass shards (Tong-Po!!!). The oily cuntrag dodged questions left and right about the building blocks that construct his assholishness. I don’t know if running on a platform of “I Don’t Have To Answer To Anything” is a good strategy for somebody who already sucks so hard.

    I also saw a party that still seems determined to prevent Sanders from leading them no matter how huge his margin is. That was my impression, anyways.

    I have to say, Warren was on fire when she was ripping Bloomberg's ass on his NDA's.

    "They didn't like a joke I told, so demanded an NDA that I'm bound by."

    You fucktard.

    How many of those does he have? They’re not exactly helping his campaign either, as if it needed another challenge.

    I wonder if he's even seen Gone With the Wind, or watched Parasite. I'm going to guess no on both.

    Wowzers, after that MASSIVE pushback against Bernie from the culinary union that the media invested so much into hyping, I really didn't know if he could do it. Incredible, to survive against the ferocity of a political force like that. Welp, South Carolina votes in a week where Sanders was already pulling even before this result. Time to kick operation black people love them some Uncle Joe into overdrive.

    Chris Matthews is having a meltdown over Bernie Sanders. He compared Sanders winning Nevada to Hitler taking Paris.

    Maybe the media's growing irrelevance will finally dawn on them. Maybe.

    Despite the many bad ideas Sanders does have, I find it interesting that it's on healthcare he still gets the most push back.

    Minimum wage that makes no economic sense whatsoever? Well, ok. They are trying it in California after all.
    Sending that slack jawed yokel for a full ride at university because he deserves it as a right. Not too crazy. College is getting so expensive.
    A public healthcare system that has been wildly successful across the world? Whoa, whoa! Now, you're out of your mind.

    I don't know, maybe it's just the one people find most likely to happen so that's why they're pounding their fists about it.
