Utah Man Takes Rifle to J.C. Penny Store

Spencers point is valid. But I think it is important to remember whose minds we are trying to change. It is not anyone on this forum. We are dealing with a much softer sort of individual (I am trying to be nice here), who doesn't understand and has likely never been around guns or led an outdoor lifestyle. Shock and awe type approaches only further entrench someone like this. You have to hold their hand, pat them on the back, and lead them down the path.

Ah, the tree hugger flower smelling hippies that live in suburbia and the cities that think the Police and the Military will always be there to save them. Those same people that think we are children and that they need to take away our toys.

Ok all joking aside, I agree. However, I know that many of those people will just never change their minds. The biggest part why could be, they were just not raised in a household that had firearms.

As an example, my parents were both in the Navy during Vietnam. Other people my age had parents that protested that very war. Maybe that could be why I have a different mind set about the 2nd Amendment.

I do think open carrying to win the hearts and minds is more appropriate in a place like Utah or Oklahoma, not Commiefornia. We all know how that went...

After all the red states are comfortable with it, the purple states will follow, then maybe some blue states. Not Illinois though. Never Illinois.
