How can you compare exercising a right to doing something criminal?
Would you care to see my Penis?
Just because our society is afraid to see a penis, doesn't mean there's something wrong with the person hanging out. That very mindset is what is causing nudists to only be on the defensive, which is causing us to lose all of our rights altogether.
I just feel more comfortable with my scrotum and penis out in the air.
Going against societal norms with no nefarious intent should not cause a reasonable person any concern. Nobody without the confidence should do it themselves. They definitely shouldn't berate the one who does though just because it doesn't fit in with their view of propriety.
That would be nefarious and criminal. Carrying a firearm is neither. Come up with a better argument, please.
Actually it makes it the perfect argument as simply being nude (in Seattle at least) is neither considered nefarious nor criminal. It's true. Look it up.
I'll help you out.

You are the individual making poor choices and behaving poorly at this time.
I'm tired of people like you stepping all over other gun owners because you're so much better. Because you don't "flaunt your gun", "rub it in peoples face", whatever whatever.
Effective or not, you have no right to play this holier-than-thou card. I hope you do not receive ANY support from a firearm community for any burdens that cross your path. You and your elitist kind can very gently shove off; you do nothing for the firearms community.
If anyone insists on carrying their firearm into every social situation without pause or reflection, they should not fool themselves that their actions "speak" for all gun owners. They do not. Carrying a firearm everywhere at all times is niether a cause nor a crucifix... it is simply an individual making poor choices and behaving poorly.

RCW 9A.88.010
Indecent exposure.
(1) A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm. The act of breastfeeding or expressing breast milk is not indecent exposure.
(2) Indecent exposure is a misdemeanor unless such person exposes himself or herself to a person under the age of fourteen years in which case indecent exposure is a gross misdemeanor on the first offense and, if such person has previously been convicted under this subsection or of a sex offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030, then such person is guilty of a class C felony punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.
[2001 c 88 § 2; 1990 c 3 § 904; 1987 c 277 § 1; 1975 1st ex.s. c 260 § 9A.88.010.]

Thankfully YOU dont speak for all of us!
By all means fellas, wear your gun to Church. At your job. Make sure everybody sees and feels the power you wield. No more proper place for a shoulder holster than an open casket funeral. Visiting Mom or Pop? Don't set that revolver on the coffee table, keep it on yor hip.
Clearly some of you guys are looking to turn Northwest Firearms into a "With Us or Against Us" environment. Good luck with that, those are always the best communities anyway.
The positive thing about a good debate its that people can understand the issues and each others feeling on an issue better and many times common ground can be found. In case anyone hasn't noticed my big thing is "show me the proof". I want (for myself) more than statements and conjecture, I want to see the proof if for no other reason than to correct any ignorance on my part.
Look, there are times when I would choose to open carry. There is no point in writing an exhaustive list here, my reasons are my own. Basically, it would come down to a perception of threat (necessity), or an indulgence (baseless desire).
I do not view the daily practice of open carry as an effective way of proselytizing. I think it offends and turns more people off than it educates, and I think it would diminish my effectiveness as a gun rights proponent.
Clearly there are individuals here who feel that I am some sort of traitor to the "firearms community", whatever that means. I am displeased that they see me that way, but that's fine.
