Pride goeth before the fall. I want open carry as much as the next guy, but why is it that some OC activists are their own (and ours) worst enemies? The lack of foresight or an understanding of how other people think and will react shows an incredible lack of wisdom some times. They are blinded by the rightness of the cause into not seeing any potential consequences of their actions in any kind of realistic way. Even Martin Luther King Jr. knew when to press home the attack, and when to practice discretion, and there is no doubting his commitment to or the rightness of his cause. I'm afraid that discretion is not part of the skill set of some gun rights activists, and in failing to exercise it properly, the end up screwing it up for everybody.Jumping Frog wrote:So now I see it is the familiar playbook, used by Feinstein and others: put a bill out there that is very draconian and cannot pass, asking for the whole enchilada. Now "compromise" for only half of the enchildada.

Prozanski and Burdick said they expected to move forward with four bills dealing with the gun issue. They would:
--Ban guns in the Capitol. Under the measure, Prozanski said, those with a concealed handgun license could still bring a gun into the building with the permission of the legislative administrator or law enforcement.
--Expand background checks to also cover private sales and transfers between individuals. There would be an exemption for sales or transfers between immediate family members.
--Ban concealed handgun licensees from carrying guns onto school grounds. However school districts would be able to opt out of the ban under the measure.
--Require live-fire training to obtain a concealed handgun license. Prozanski said most courses for the license already require this training.![]()

By the way, read the article: here is an example where open carriers will cause everyone to lose the right to carry in the Oregon Capital. Concealed carriers will pay the price for the open carriers disturbing the sheep and upsetting the Ruling Class.

Re: Oregon drafting draconian AWB

If this passes, Oregonians will have to surrender their 4th Amendment to exercise their 2nd Amendment. The day of the bullet box is rapidly approaching.Oregon is the latest state to draft legislation that puts major restrictions on the 2nd Amendment. House Bill 3200’s summary states the “crime of unlawful possession or transfer of assault weapon or large capacity magazine” is punishable “by maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment, $250,000 fine, or both.”
