“why can’t we celebrate our freedom of choice to carry?” @TheTwoJakes GASP!! And Egad, even. Celebrate our choice to carry??? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, MAN??? All joking aside, it is because the Liberal Left **HATES** us. They **REALLY HATE** us. They hate us because we choose to carry. They hate us because we refuse to drink the cool aid. They hate us because we choose to see facts and do not give in to “popular” opinions spouted out by whatever influencer dejour is on the telly. ((cough - WHOOPIE - cough)) BUT, of all the reasons they hate us, they hate us most because **WE ARE RIGHT!!** So, if they **REALLY HATE** us, why not go ahead and celebrate our right to carry? It is not an illogical thought. ---

I do not have a problem with them exercising their constitutional right to self-defense. None whatsoever. I don’t really have a problem with them being “not like me” as long as they don’t try to shove their “not like me” down my throat. Not really into that. My Loving Sister is “batting for the other team” with her sexuality and is non-denominational with her political views because of the issues she finds important. One of those issues being her gun rights. She has a pink Glock and is very handy with it. Her Wife also has a pink Glock and a pink AR. Another issue important to her, of course, is her right to be a lesbian. Gun rights put her on Republican side which outs her for being lesbian. Being lesbian puts her on Democrat side which outs her for carrying a gun. Me? What do I think? She’s my sister. I’m gonna support her as far as I can until one set of rights or another starts imposing on MY rights. ---

I don’t really have a problem with them being “not like me” as long as they don’t try to shove their “not like me” down my throat. Not really into that. That’s the way free countries are supposed to work. We all have the right to do our own thing as long as our thing doesn’t interfere with the rights and freedoms of others. From a 2A perspective the more law abiding firearm owners the better. The anti self defense folks are going to have to contort themselves in knots trying to convince everyone that the minority groups they claim to care so much about don’t have the right to defend themselves. ---

"WHOOPIE-Cough!----Very good Brother, exceptional humor! Also my Brother, if I may interject something else? They not only HATE us, They ‘FEAR’ us more…why? you ask? because we are a threat to their goals of 100% Disarmament. You can’t establish communist/s0cialist/marxist rule when (40) MILLION+ of it’s citizens have the recourse to fight back… And ----wait for it! — It gets worse, monthly. WE THE PEOPLE of all flavors are arming up! Black, White, Asian,Gay,Hispanic AMERICANS ALL! .These may not be true Gunners in the Sheepdog sense, Vets Hunters,shooters etc. Just average Joe and Jane Americans who see the Notzee illogical views of ‘Kreate Kaos 4 Kontrol’ that pits Americans against Americans as somehow wrong. All they may see is their safety being eroded, their lively hood being taken away. Good hardworking citizens see the rich getting richer and the middle class disappearing to placate the poor democratic populus the gubment needs in order to keep the wheels on this country turning (slavery) They can’t just come in and try to kill us all. that would be…wrong. They do have vast resources of armed alphabet agencies to do their bidding but even the wokeist of the woke might object to mass murder of its citizenry just because they/we have guns. They (Libarated-tards) don’t like GUNS! but they probably would object to seeing so many of us killed because we won’t just hand over our guns when they asked ‘pretty please’. You are seeing ‘real time’ the back lash over pistol braces. ATF:‘IT’s OK to have them, (10) MILLION Americans buy them, Gestapo Joe (and company-SS Strumfuher obummer) say’s NO) ATF: (in January) Braces are illegal Oops! (10) Million Americans INSTANT felons…oh yeah, TODAY! How convenient ! NO, people are seeing it now, even the ‘gay’s! Arm up EVERYBODY ! Gay,Straight, dopplegangers whoever! Welcome to the family. We are ALL at risk to this current regime. Once they knock off the gunners they will be coming for YOU! All the gubment wants is a drone-like ,compliant group of sheep. NO RESISTANCE ALLOWED! ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL! MARCH,MARCH, MARCH! You will have nothing unless we the gubment allow it! Forget about Prospering, hard work will NOT get you advancement, we need YOU to be poor, broken, compliant and grateful to afford Human burgers, nasty soul killing drinks, and poisonous medications. The first targeted is the Elderly, WE are a drain on their ‘system’, A lot of us are on Social Security, Retired Military and can OH MY GOD! Think for ourselves! KILL THEM! (US). Vax them, Fentanyl in everything! , Chem Trail criss crossing the skies! YOU ARE NEXT ! Do you think the remaining are safe after WE are gone? HAhahahhahhahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahahahhhahhahahahahahahahahhh! YOU FOOLS! Anyone who THINKS is a threat. So buy your Pink Howitzers, Pink Abrams, Rainbow Glocks! whatever works ! But remember "Foxhole Joe’’ and company only wants you on their team if they can CONTROL you. YOU RESIST THEIR CRAZY INDOCTRINATION’S AND YOU ARE DEAD TO THEM. I personally believe PRIDE month, Trans minute, and what was it I just read here? Woman marrying themselves? WHAT?..whatever floats your Pink boat! As others have said here, do whatever you want, just don’t try and convert me, kill me or hurt the children. You try that sh-- on me and we will have a problem. So fly your fag flag, wear lime green pride wear , shoot magenta Ar’s whatever. But get a life and keep your antic’s to yourselves. I don’t want to hear about it anymore. ---

> [@BruceE](#): > > Republican side which outs her for being lesbian I am not a Repub, nor am I interested in advocating for R, yet I don’t think Republican Party program has anything about prohibition on gay lifestyle. It may not be as focused on the lifestyle issues as Dem party, which wants to make everything about sexual orientation, not the context of the character, puts sexual orientation on the pedestal, and screams look! look! look at me! victim here! noone dare speak against me or else! but am victim! Sorry about this impersonation, this “allyship” really looks to me this way. ---

Open Carry State But the local LE don’t like it one bit.

I approve of this. One of the 2nd Amendment organizations I deal with, we offer free range time and free training for underserved minorities, which includes LGBTQIA+ groups. We teach safe handling, safe storage, range safety, among other things. I usually do the range safety officer for our training session. We screen as best as we can. I may not agree with other people, or the current administrations system, but if they can legally possess a firearm, what they do in their private, social, or professional life is on them. I wish they would extend that courtesy to me, but… It’s enough to me that they wish to use their 2nd Amendment Rights. Like every one who has taken the Oath, it doesn’t specify which rights to defend. ---

Not that Biden’s handlers would ever allow it but I would love to see a member of one of these pro 2A groups ask him why they shouldn’t be allowed to own the proper tools to defend themselves from the “oppressive and threatening majority”. ---

This is not a woke workplace, where people silently nod to any crap coming out of the mouth of DEI stooge, because they don’t want to bring a pink slip to their family for saying “I am not an ally to to insanity”. ---

Oh no cant have that! There seems to be a month for every one besides the majority that did the most for mankind ,the Caucasians. They invented more medicines and countless other things to further goodwill and mankind. Im not saying they solely did everything that would be incorrect and unfair but you’d think they would get just a little praise and not constant put-downs, and others wanna talk about being fair? Yea as long as its fair to them. [Next page](https://community.usconcealedcarry.com/t/why-not-a-ccw-pride-month/92105.md?page=2)
