I had a chuckle when I read the quote that the OP had been on here since 08 09 and have carried for nine years and knows more than other posters. It has been my experience that even if an individual is part of an organization, a club, or a forum it does not mean they are the most knowledgeable. Just like all "old people" are wise and smart. While you should respect your elders just because you are older or have been around a long time does not mean that you know more than someone who has been around 2 years. Because that "two year old" just might have studied more and know more than you. While you very well may know more than everybody in the forum why boast it? And more importantly how would you know? It's better to be thought of as not so smart than open your mouth and prove it.

If a business posts a 30.06 / 30.07 sign that's their business. Your lack of attendance there will not hurt them. 5% of Texans have LTC and prob 2 1/2% of that actually carry. Most people I know that have it would simply disarm and go in or maybe not. I will not do business with somebody who posts but I don't slander them. And also the 2nd amendment does not just mean your home... that is absurd. It means you have the right to keep and bear arms and it shall not be infringed. It's talking about how we have the right to protect ourselves from the government and I believe also from all threats foreign and domestic. If I was limited to only my 2nd amendment rights at home what is the point at all of getting an LTC? And constitutional carry without a license should be permitted. The states that have done it do not have any more problems than we do. People are scared. Just like they were scared when Open Carry passed but going into its second year there have been zero problems unless the carrier brought it upon themselves. I OC all the time when I am not working and guess what? Never a negative comment. In fact a guy came up to me yesterday and said which gun are you carrying I said glock 19 he said oh nice me to! We then proceeded to have a very nice conversation and went about our ways. I think if you can legally own and purchase a firearm you should be able to carry it. Having a license to me is an infringement. But it's one I can deal with.
