Re: Should Gun Owners Use Tactics of the Left?

They have a valid 30.06 posted outside their facilities, even though there is quite a history of assaults and vehicle break-ins in their facility parking lots. There are also A LOT of aggressive, confrontational parents in the facilities, pretty much ALL of the time - you've all seen the crazy sports parent; well, they are here in spades..... This is actually one of the only places I frequent where I feel like I actually SHOULD be carrying my lawfully concealed handgun, but can't. Before you say; "well, your choice, take your kids somewhere else", understand that they play on teams with their friends, and likely would give up the sports if they couldn't play with them. Happy to hear any thoughts here, but the Libs seem to not give dang about what we think, and keep pushing until they get their way; I think we should be doing the same thing. After all, it's clear (while unfortunate), that nobody in our current society CARES what anyone else thinks, so the "moral high ground" is a useless place to stand. REALLY painful for me to say that, but it's where we are as a nation, and think it's time for US to start playing hardball like everyone else. We are becoming the "meek"...... Again, happy to hear other perspectives. :patriot: :txflag:
It might possibly be pushing things if you do this (they may retaliate), but I would let the group leaders know your dissatisfaction with their posting. I'd let them know that your strong preference is to carry armed at all times. That you will comply with their requirement to disarm at the sporting events, since you want your kids to participate; but since they obviously have a real problem with participants being armed, you will absent yourself from any additional volunteer work, fund-raisers, etc. Be sure to let them know you hate doing so, but will have to to comply with their restrictions.
