Is it time to talk about guns?

Living on a beach will do that to you

 

The statistics are hand picked to get the desired outcome,

I have Mine!

 

Wal-Mart and other stores leading the charge in not allowing customers to open carry, is a good thing. But I’ll tell you, that people aren’t abiding by it, and are still doing their own thing.

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday with my daughter, and as soon as we walked in, the detector that usually goes off if certain items aren’t scanned properly at the register, or just plain “being stolen”, well, it went off, and it was damn sure loud as fuck! I didn’t think much about it until I remembered that I heard that they recently changed the open carry policy for customers who shop at their store.

I was carrying concealed (legally) as I always do, but when that detector went off and after I figured out why, I expected to get approached by someone. Didn’t happen. I did, however, see several folks open carrying in the store, and after I saw that, I knew I was good then.

I agree with the policy Walmart put in place, but they need to enforce it.

 

I have read the information before.

For every publication of this type there is another one published with the same data tables and footnotes pushing the narrative in the opposite direction.

You appear to be anti-gun yet when you felt threatened you found comfort in having a gun at the ready if needed.

 

You are not alone in this idea.

 

If the perception is that one needs to be armed in order to travel to a certain space: I will just stay at home thank you.

 

A decision for you to make.

Will you be taking all your guns to the Sheriffs office for proper disposal ?

 

Agreed, it is no one’s business

 

Let’s not get hostile towards one another about this topic. We can share viewpoints in good taste and as responsible adults.

Until firearms are completely prohibited by law in our country, and they manage to get them out of every criminal’s hands, I will continue to carry as a responsible gun owner, and within my legal rights.

If they can get those other things I mentioned, under control, I would be more than happy to put it away, and never carry it again. I honestly don’t feel any safer carrying one!

 

Outstanding answer Sir !

 

so basically forever

 

Looks like it, and that’s very unfortunate
