How an expert spots a concealed carrier

Post by Rex B »

I have recently discovered quora, where people ask questions and get very good answers. You can subscribe to topics you choose, and get an email showing new topics. Most of mine are on military and firearms issues.

Here's a good example:

Very broad generalizations and he failed to mention a Hawaiian shirt or fanny pack. We all know that if they're worn together that equals DEA:-)
I like to keep this handy... for close encounters.

After several years of membership, including having one of my posts "promoted" on their blog, I finally quit quora as a fly-infested fever swamp of radical socialism. The last straw was when a lesbian called me a tea-bagger and reported me for hateful posts, in response to a factual and neutral-toned post of mine in which I said that the science of same sex attraction is still very much undecided in terms of genetic origins, and that it more likely was a combination of pre-birth and parenting environments. The tea-bagger comment was allowed to stand, and the moderators refused to respond when I questioned it. To hades with all of them.

Thanks for that. Saves me giving anything on their collectivist blog another audience member. BTW, I guess being a lesbian, especially a non-white lesbian, probably trumps being a gay white male, but one response might have been to complain that "the tea-bagger comment was an insensitive attack on male homosexuality." "rlol" I can't play the race card, but hey, in the shameless country we're living in now, if I find myself with a losing hand, I might have to try playing the gay card. :evil2:

Oh yeah, based on your comments, the article was probably written to help the progs SWAT concealed carriers.

Careful doing that, you might just end up with some secret admirers. "rlol"

Yeah, thought about that. Saw an episode of an HBO series where an agent who is not gay claims that he is to get a new client and he ends up in a very compromising situation. "rlol" But the thing is, there is no way anyone can prove you're not "gay." And you don't even have to say you're gay for that matter, just that you identify as gay, or hey, as a woman. :smilelol5: If some white people can scam the race card like that NAACP chapter head recently got caught doing, a whole lot of people of every race can scam the gay card, and given human nature, certainly will. :biggrinjester:

Or you may end up with your own tv show or even co-starring on I Am Cait.

Or, I'm a lesbian woman in a man's body....or male lesbian. Didn't Obama's DOJ just say we get to choose our own identities? "rlol" I can do the TV show if the money's right. :smilelol5:

From what TAM posted it sounds like the actual topic is SJWs outing concealed carriers.....and given the context, I'd expect for shaming or swatting.

Well, so far I haven't seen that side of it, although I have seen some anti-gun slanted questions. Those were answered very authoritatively by pro-2A people, and that ended the discussion in most cases.
Maybe it's my choice of topics. For me they were something like guns, cars, military, and machining. I may have skipped over "LGBT pride" and "social issues du jour".
