>>To use an analogy...because I have a drivers license from Tennessee where the speed limit is 70mph on the interstate, when I travel to a state where the speed limit is 55mph that I just tell the officer that his state accepts my Tennessee drivers license and that means the laws in his state do not apply to me..Silly huh?<<
not a very good analogy, but we've not see eye to eye a whole lot, so far.
See, that analogy wouldn't fit our discussion because speed limits are posted & not gun free zones are.
A better analogy may be right turns on red. It's not always posted & different states have different laws in their driver's license manuals. If you get stopped & explain to the officer (carrying yourself respectably & law abiding) that in your state/city/town the law is different for unposted intersections, then, chances are, you'll just get a warning (just make sure you don't get caught again, they'll remember they gave you the actual law, eh).
>>You are never going to convince anyone here that Tennessee (or any other state) laws are superseded from another state.<<
I'm not trying to. My reply may have been taken as I'm eluding to that, however, to clarify, reciprocity does open the door for a lot of leverage in your favor (again, if you're carrying yourself right).
>>Mr. FightingGlock, I think you should check out
http://www.defensivecarry.com . They are specifically for concealed carry and are as anti open carry and ignorant (not stupid, just ignorant) as you are. I think you would do very well there.<<
I'm not against open carrying, hey different strokes for different folks, right? I'm not ignorant of those that open carry, either.
If you read what was construed as ignorant, you'll see I said, "a few here," and wasn't generalizing the board as a whole. If I was ignorant, I would have said, "this board thinks persons that cc are criminals," or to that effect.
and some off-topic ramblings (some may agree, some may not) - IMHO concealed carry is, a better option than open carry. If a bad guy sees a victim, he sees a victim. If the bad guy sees the victim has a weapon, that's a weapon the bad guy can get from the victim. I choose topresent myselfso I'm not to be seen as a (potential) victim, yet have a (concealed) weapon in the eventsome shitbag decides to hurt me or somebody I care about. It doesn't matter if one open carries or carries concealed, we *ALL* (open or concealed) have the moral obligation to stop shitbags if they threaten us (or loved ones) with grave bodily harm or death.
