Do you carry your gun with you all the time? Do you sometimes leave your gun at home when you know you are going to a place that carrying a gun will be consider offensives or disrespectful?

Why am i asking you this? I read the post about the soccer mom who brought a gun the her daughter’s soccer game and had upset the parents that were present at the game.

Jones, who is also the county’s public defender, said he wasn’t certain if Hain was breaking the law by wearing the gun, so he did not ask her to remove it. However, he explained to her that its presence was making parents upset and asked her to view the game from the other side of the field, away from the sideline were the kids were standing. She complied but continued to wear her holstered weapon, he said.

Do you think it was inappropriate?

    When is exercising rights inappropriate?
    When is being prepared to protect your family inappropriate.
    Things like this are only considered inappropriate because we’ve let the sheep and ninnies control the narrative. It’s become “conventional wisdom” that guns in the presence of children is “inappropriate”. That “conventional wisdom” is wrong. These types of things are actually good for us because it exposes the fallacy of the “conventional wisdom”. The only arguments that can possibly be presented in opposition to this obviously law abiding, good person carrying in public are emotional arguments and the fact that she makes people “uncomfortable”.
    The more times we can expose these patently irrational arguments for the emotion based drivel that they are, the better.
    Blacks didn’t win their rights by meekly riding in the back of the bus. Homosexuals didn’t win wide acceptance of their lifestyle by staying in the closet.
    Why people think gun owners should meekly pander to the emotions and comfort levels of the sheep is a bit beyond me.

    Hide it but never ever stop carrying it. you are there protecting yourself and your children and nothing should stop that, especially when you are in the public at the park. I prefer an ankle holster and a small but powerful gun, give it a try nobody will know that it’s there. People do get nervous when they see a gun that’s why you don’t let them see it keep it to yourself and you will make more friends.

    The sheriff should be fired, as should the public defender. If neither one knows the law, they should not be involved in upholding it. The women with the gun has every right to carry a weapon. It was not on School ground or any other place where weapons are prohibited. As for the Sheriff revoking her carry permit, he has opened a can of worms the county might end up paying for.

    Part of my ccp training was that it had to be concealed, so that’s what I do. Also I don’t want to anybody to know that I am carrying a gun it’s none of their business. Open carry however is legal in many states and that’s a different issue. If you are being harrassed and it’s legal to do in your state you might need a lawyer to educate your police department. It’s going to cost you though lawyers aren’t cheap.
