Senate approves open carry on party-line vote

[Cobraman]

I think he's referring to your hypocritical statement that he quoted.

What does method of carry have anything to do with were you can carry?

It isn't hypocritical - and even less so because campus is excluded from the oc bill in it's current form. I hate the mindset that if you are a 2nd amendment supporter you have to be for EVERY little provision that is proposed. I conceal carry all day everyday - the only place I cannot arm myself that I have to go is to school. That is a much bigger problem (gun free zones) than being able to strap on your N frame and go to whataburger. Sure it isn't a popular opinion, but it is held by some - and some that are too pussy to speak up about it for fear of the pulse of the neckbeards and ineedzalltharights!!! Crowds.

Dont be mad at Denny, he didnt make you dumb.

What he said is not an ad hominem.... An ad hominem is when someone tries to invalidate an argument based on a character flaw of the person that made the argument. For example, if I were to tell you that you don't know what you're talking about because you're 21, THAT'S an ad hom. If I just told you that you're a douche, that's not an ad hom. If you're going to throw out the names of logical fallacies, it'd do you well to learn what they are.

After double checking, I'll disagree. It can take the shape of overtly attacking someone or attacking ones personal character to avoid the arguement

[Cobraman]

"Ad hominem attacks can take the form of overtly attacking somebody, or more subtly casting doubt on their character or personal attributes as a way to discredit their argument. "

Which is precisely what inline 6 does/has done

No, he called you the biggest fucking douche.

He wasn't avoiding any argument, as it's his first post in the thread.

It is what he does. Follows me around and questions my character and leaves lol. He didn't hang around to make a point because that wasn't the plan. That post easily could have been his stance (kind of like what everyone is doing) instead of a one liner about me that is a waste of everyone's time.

If that's all he does, then you know it's not an ad-hom. You're being dishonest with yourself and everyone that reads your words if you try to present something as one way when in fact it's something completely different. You don't like that he called you a douche and follows you around and taunts you, that's cool, but don't make it what it ain't playa.

Does anyone have a legitimate argument for open carry? I don't think I've ever heard one.

I just find it [open carry] to be reckless and potentially dangerous to the public. I find very little benefits besides what I already mentioned.

I personally have never really heard a good solid reason why OC is beneficial, most of the time (like the deterrent reason) it does have some theoretical merit, but the negatives seem to vastly outweigh the positives. And from a 2nd Amendment perspective it concerns me using the liabilities of OC as leverage for the anti-gun crowd.

Open carry makes you a target and has an intimidating effect on the general public that knows nothing about guns. If they are on the fence, this will sway their thinking.

They won't and shouldn't know if I'm carrying.

Let me just say I am opposed to open carry. I don't think there is a place for it here.

This is exactly what I'm getting at. I'm not alone in my viewpoint

[SS Junk]

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out as far as those who OC over those who don't. In the 15 years I've lived in VA and however long OC has been legal here I have yet to come across someone OC'ing unless it was a plain clothes with a badge in close proximity.

[whitetrash]

Anyone know when they are supposed to start the session today?

[ceyko]

This is exactly what I'm getting at.

You're certainly not alone in your train of thought. However, just because you and CJ do not believe the reasons listed are valid - does not mean they are not valid.

There is your stance on the matter. Then some folks are like I am and want the option, even though I'll rarely do it. Then other folks want to walk around all day with their weapon on their hip...etc

Ultimately, it appears as if it is happening. I'd rather see gun laws loosening as opposed to becoming more strict.

[Cobraman]

You're certainly not alone in your train of thought. However, just because you and CJ do not believe the reasons listed are valid - does not mean they are not valid.

No, but that also doesn't mean the opposite side's reasons are either. It is just my opinion and belief and same with everyone else- trying to have a decent debate. The reason I posted the quotes is because i'm getting labelled dumb and stupid for my thoughts because a lot of people don't respect my opinion for their own reasons. Maybe they will respect our fearless reloading leader cj

[SS Junk]

deterrent?

You can also become target #1 when bad guy draws and opens fire, and will almost always have the drop on you.

You picking and choosing other people's rights, their unalienable rights, when they can and cannot exercise them, makes you a hypocrite. You would be better off for or against it. At least you'd be respected by some of these other guys.

This shit you're spewing only works for your situation. Think of what is right, not for what is convenient for you.
