Free: Contests & Raffles.
by the way, you mentioned being a Christian. No I don't hide it, nor do I run up to every person I see announcing it either, nor do I wear a sign on my chest . I believe if I did possibly you and any other person would immediately form an opinion. Next time I see you in Freddys, I'll follow you around the store and read the bible at you. I'll see if you enjoy my right of free speech. If asked I will not hide the fact that I am a christian, just like I won't hide the fact I own a gun and have no problem putting one between your eyes if I needed to. I don't believe Ihave a positive effect on people immediately screaming I'm a christian and ram it down their throats. Just a difference of opinions. Gee Bone, getting a little rude. I guess I'm done. You win.QuoteI just choose to keep my element of surprise and not show my cards, nor want the attention. Yep.

I find that those that feel they need to carry openly in public (other than store clerks in a gun shop), are probably compensating for something they are lacking elsewhere, or inadequecies. Its just another form of bullying or intimidation.
Every time I go into a 7-11 these days, I go in blasting away with my Kimber 1911 Eclipse duo tone pro comp Ultra carry with a 12 round extended magazine hang in' from the grip with a really cool high zoot competition speed load mag well and a great Wilson trigger set at only 2 ounces. After dumping the second of the 24 extra mags I carry, I usually have everyone's attention. Then I head straight to the chips aisle then grab me up a case or two of Keystone Light to drink on the way home. I pass everyone standing in line while I throw a 50 on the counter and and say adios hombres, jump into my Screamin' Red 12 inch skyjacker lifted diesel 4x4 with awesome Mickey Thompson mud runner tires, fire up the 600 horsepower twin turbo leave black smoke all over the parking lot then blow outta dodge smoking' the rear tires! Cause....That's how I roll!! That makes about as much sense as this thread and Old McDonald's fricken farm!!Who really cares how you carry and why??? The ones that are really scary are the ones that carry a gun concealed or not and refuse to keep a round chambered thinking they will have time to load up prior to the proverbial *censored*e hitting the fan.

"Discretion" is a great word!My grampa use to say "Discretion is the better part of valor" all the time, when he was reigning in unnecessary bravado, lolI added a little to to make my own phrase, "discretion is the better part of valor, but when $hit hits the fan, respond with overwhelming fire power!"
