CC at Mt Rushmore

[Jay Walk]

Those anti firearm voters seem to bubble up to the top.

The early Americans could carry whatever firearm, long gun or handgun, that they wanted to (and I suspect that also included while at Ye Ol' Pub). Dressing and "carrying" for a particular occasion, as the person thought was appropriate.

Of course. While in "militia practice," the long gun would probably be more appropriate (or perhaps, REQUIRED) for the occasion. Bringing along a handgun, was probably NOT frowned upon either.

So then (back then)......IF, someone CHOSE to carry in a Pub. It was probably a personal decision.

No law to prohibit such.....FREEDOM.

But I admit, that I could be wrong. So.....IF.......YOU know of any particular law or prohibition against the carrying in Ye Ol' Pub from back in that era? Please post it.

Aloha, Mark

PS......"silly" is making gun laws against and/or not understanding......

"........shall not be infringed."

I didn't say it was illegal. I just don't think it was a thing because of the types of weapons and dress at the time.

Doubtful, they drive away the productive members unfortunately.

You're clumping all criminals into the premeditated class, and then saying that laws don't work on them so there is no point. That isn't reality.

Laws work on the law abiding. That is reality.

That's what you are, but what am I?

I give up. What are you?

I give up. What are you?

I spy with my little eye.....

Now you're making me nervous.

Fixed it for you….

That's what she said.

Yes, indeedy!

So, I started this thread yesterday and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was about, LOL.

Oh sure, start a thread and it's supposed to be allllll about YOU!

As stated, law abiding is a range of behaviors, not a state of mind. An idiot that avoids shooting someone when drunk because they didn't want the hazard of getting caught with a gun is a crime prevented, even if on the most banal level.

How much have you had to drink tonight? Because you're making about as much sense as Kamala Harris.

Because the significance banal is anal, and anal is significant when being banal during the passage of time, because if I was not playing football today, I would not be playing football.

I don't know what kind of explanation wil. get through to you. So you'll pardon me if I just restate myself:
1. Some people follow the law out of principle.
2. Some people follow the law because it would be a hassle to get caught, but they have no morals. These people might commit an awful crime if angry or drunk. These people are sometimes prevented from becoming criminals by laws that keep them out of the position of doing something stupid.
3. Some people will break any law.

The laws are there to inform 1., to slow down or stop 2., and to prosecute 3.

And some people are alive simply because it is illegal to kill them.

Well....
Theodore Roosevelt hangs out at Mt. Rushmore...and he was definitely pro-gun.
Just say you are carrying in honor of T.R.

Yet you have previously stated (post #113) that abiding by the law is not a state of mind. Is this not a contradiction?

No. I meant that it is not a binary state of mind, where abiding by the law is only due to one way of thinking. I listed two types, as a generalization.
