By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Idiots! Time and place and they chose very poorly. I know we are going to get a ton of comments on this.....again.....and I'll say again....the exercising of ANY right when done in an intentional inflammatory manner does nothing for the "cause" or right being exercised.

Completely agree.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

They were exercising a right.  Open carry, completely legal.  The problem I see is a whole bunch of idiots freaked out, shut down a school and clogged up the police's phone lines.

If people aren't going to exercise their rights or are worried about what others think, than maybe would should give them up now.  Don't see or  anyone here saying we should all quit hunting a that gets bad press all the time from people shooting people bears.

They way I see it, this is good.
Some people called the cops and saw nothing happen, because no laws where broken.  Some people were actually told by cops that it was legal.  People saw people carrying firearms and no one was shot.  Some anti gun people looked like the idiots they are.

The fact that the reporter called it an assualt rifle pretty much screams biased.

I'm sorry, but I don't see anything wrong with this. If anything they brought attention to the typical liberal overreaction that happens anytime someone exercises their constitutional right.  We shouldn't be crucifying these guys we should be commending them for showing people that this is nothing to be afraid of.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

ya really ive had to move my gun from back of my pickup to the front when hunting so I could lock it and feared doing so because I knew the anti gun hysteria crap. people shouldn't automaticly think that a gun in public always means shooter.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
