The damage of the few continue to hurt the future of us all.

Shame on you!!!  (Thats the politically correct way to speak to you) that are turning against your fellow gun owners!  Cry me a river of wasted tears over what the general public says about showing a gun in support of your rights..  You people are as big of a problem as the antis themselves...   


Its your right it this state to walk down a street with a weapon, but alot of you bash a guy for doing so!!  Keep it up and we will all be getting robbed by bad people witb guns while we have none!!! Keep giving in to what others THINK and your butts will be looking for a knife while someone is shoving a gun in your face!!!


Remember this?

No wolves! We could hunt with dogs! We could bait deer and elk! We could bait bears! They are taking everything we love.  But yet some of you would turn in a bear baiter cause its "poaching" how pathetic you are for helping these SOB'S.. 

And then we have the people who point out every chance they get on someone pointing a muzzle at someone!!! It happens, heck I've done it.. Or the blaze orange not on in a pic, your pathetic!!!   For what some damn stupid points that may get you some horns that you cant eat but u try to bust a guy for not taking all the rib meat...


Some of you so called hunters need to really look in the  mirror before judging others..

Someone please make a good argument why guns are needed in legislature chamber?


It needs to be like a courthouse, they must provide security and lock boxes for guns.  I think this "ban" should be nullified until they make concessions to adhere to the same conditions as a courthouse.

legislature chambers have the same potential for emotionally charged outbursts as a courtroom does,  I fail to really see much of a difference.

I agree with you on this as well. Was really surprised that it was allowed In the first place.

Well, it is a right and not to be infringed.  And you can still take them in there, just need a case or carry concealed.  The guys probably would've been alright going in there and sitting and keeping the actual guns as a non-issue.  But there aren't supposed to be demonstrations in the chamber, which the picture looks like they are staging a demonstration.

What we have now is the worst,  law abiding citizens prevented from carrying while law breakers continue to ignore gun laws anyways.


The lawmakers are not safer due to this action.

good for them show we aren't gona take it any more Boo Hiss on the legislatures for wetting themselves!

We already had the right. The same guys who helped us at Starbucks and Target helped us in the legislative chamber. Thanks guys!  And 90% of everyone who saw that picture on the front page of the ST is thinking, "Those guys are nuts! Something should be done about that." That picture will likely become the poster of the registration movement that's about to begin.

I have the 1st Amendment right to stand in a cop's face and swear at him. I choose to keep that right and not exercise it to a point where the rest of the public thinks that there are times when our 1st Amendment rights should be void. I will fight for my right to bear arms, but I'll be damned if that means I'll purposely alienate myself from the majority by shoving it in their faces and scaring them.

They shouldn't be scared in the first place. That's the point is people open carrying should not look out of place, nor should it be scary to people. By saying it is were/your only giving into them, and telling others how they should protest. I never read where it says a protester has to follow PC rules, or something inorder to do so! I am very sure people thought those at the liberty tree looked dumb as well and probably balked when they burned Brittish flags. I'm sure the timid probably thought it wrong to dress up as Indians and throw tea into the Boston harbor too. I would wager too, that if the Founders worried about how others in their cause, how it made them look they would of just done it anyhows, or just laughed at them and told them to get the heck out of the way.

   While I understand the reason for their action, the net effect regardless of what they may think, is that once again they have only eliminated law abiding folks from carrying guns.

It was a knee jerk reaction too. We shoule write and tell them off too, or at least let it be known were not happy with their reaction.

We have a winner!

Keep exercising those rights to the extreme folks.....that way when the majority is alienated enough they will damn sure make sure restrictions pass oh so easy!

That wont mater we lose it no matter what

I'm not against open carry, but why would one want to bring an AR or AK into the chamber?  About as bright as the open carry into all the restaurants who then have there hands forced to regulate it.  Open carry side arm, but the long guns, get people worked up.

Is that like asking why would you want a gun in the first place, or how about the whats your need?
Answer is, it shouldn't matter why it should only matter that you can or could Just like the old fail! "If you have nothing" to hide crap why defend your right".  People that say that crap just don't get it.

I said it in another thread, however it should be said here. This display was for the benifit of the protestors. It made THEM feel better about doing something.

If they wanted to change peoples mind and make the need for the 2A important the display would have been more thougthful. Something that displayed the importance of the 2A, Put it in a positive light, provided discussion opportunity and positive coverage would have been the goals IF it had been done to promote the 2A.

There is no reason to sing to the choir. we need to change the hearts and minds of those who are undecided or uninterested in the 2A... They also happen to be the largest hunk of the population in this state.

And meanwhile, every flick of their pens is inevitably "using guns" against someone, somewhere.....The only way they can "ban" something is by using more guns.
