Our IPSC group goes once a year to golden corral to eat and spends over $400 to feed the group as a Thanksgiving meal and the guys n gals usually eat there, on their own, after the monthly matches too. They had a sign posted today so they lost our business and they were openly verbal about it. Red Robin on the other hand was happy to serve us. Funny part was i didnt see anyone openly carrying, some were CCW but its the principle.

Glad to see folks stick to their guns (pardon the pun) on this issue. I hope folks vote with their wallets every chance they get.Originally posted by Matt In Oklahoma View PostFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

I didn't go inside so didn't look for a sign on the door of the Golden Corral in my area but they host a DAV fundraiser every year in their parking lot. If I think of it I'll check the next time I'm in that town. I would feel a lot more comfortable around armed citizens than unarmed. Less likely some fool would try antyhing in a room full of armed folks.Last edited by JUSTIFIED; 11-05-2012, 08:03 AM.Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

its funny that you say that. i wear a belt holster and have never had to wear a sweater or jacket to conceal it. simply upsize a shirt or throw a dickie still work shirt that buttons and its easy to conceal. but then again if you cant make a small change in wardrobe then why you even try to carry. im a small frame guy and carry a mid compact pistol with no issues by simply changing my wardrobe slitely with shirts.Originally posted by JUSTIFIED View PostWhats the point of having and not knowing how to use?

thats typical mindset. oh they cant hurt us if we show we are armed but imo do you know them well enough to gunsling back with you? rule #7 dont play hero. "zombieland" lol. i have a small small group of people i could rely on with my life and i can assure you that if i saw another "armed citizen" in the same room as me i couldnt trust them. for example my family and i where at a local apple bees for my birthday and had an elderly women pass out due to lack of oxygen "was suppose to be on a tank and left it at home" now keep in mind that it was rather busy night there. i remember seeing several people with ems/fire dpt. shirts on and there was only one women out of give or take 60-80 people in the store attempt to help. my dad attempted to help but with injury preventing him, i had to help give cpr. the mind set of 60-80 people it came down to 3 that did something! so dont think that for a second a group of thugs or a gang wouldnt attack a place that had a bunch of "ARMED CITIZENS".Originally posted by JUSTIFIED View PostWhats the point of having and not knowing how to use?

My guns are all revolvers and even though I usually wear loose fitting shirts, untucked they stick out more than I like. Once I pick up a semi I'll hip carry.Originally posted by Sharpshooter View PostFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

I have not doubt that someone might try to attack a room full of gun carriers as there are many fools in this world, and that number is growing, but though I'm not going to automatically trust someone because their conceal/carrying or open/carrying I still feel more comfortable in a room where there are gun owners.Originally posted by Sharpshooter View Post

eventually maybe to late. it maybe to late when you do decide to train imo. look at people who are affected by storms in the south from hurricances, some trained to make sure stuff was in place to leave and well those who didnt seem to be the one who we have to go help time after timeOriginally posted by JUSTIFIED View PostWhats the point of having and not knowing how to use?

Why would you assume I'm not training where I'm at? Though I would enjoy the group training I'm busy enough and far enough away that right now training with the group isn't possible. I'll continue with what I can do at home and follow the updates on the S&P board until I do have the time to drive 2-3 hours one way.Originally posted by Sharpshooter View PostFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Gotcha. Look forward to the group if I can free myself up. Last year was a rough year in many respects. This year is better but way too busy.Originally posted by Sharpshooter View PostFreedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

Both Maine and New Hampshire are open carry states. I have a CCP in both states and choose to keep my weapon concealed. Just as many of you have mentioned. There are so many crazy people out there that would expect you to step forward and use unnecessary power to deflate a foolish situation it just isn't worth leaving our weapons hanging out. This lady is not a wall flower fluffy female who might break a nail and cry but I'm also not about to take a chance of someone trying to grab my gun from me. Habit from past history work makes me prefer to keep my face to any door wherever I am. Being female has its advantages at the present time as many people are not accustomed to woman carrying the purses with built in holsters. Only one occassion did I put my hand inside the zipper, grasp the weapon and think.......its gona go right through the leather. Thankfully that action did not become necessary. The only other problem I have to keep in mind is living one state over from Massachusetts with the need for an occassional trip to the airport (bad place to get caught with a gun) and almost forgetting to leave my weapon in the car when entering a courthouse on business. I can't imagine being in a cinema or some other location with a nut case shooting people and not taking the son of pup out!Comment
