How to deal with OCers and gun-friendly establishments - Just walk out!

[BogWalker]

On INGO I heard about this going the other way... The OC guy was in a restaurant eating when he was asked to leave due to him carrying a firearm. It was at this time he responded I can leave now, or you can let me finish and pay (i.e. I will stay until you bring me the check). They let him stay and pay, at which time he left... Could have worked the opposite way though.

The difference is the man in your example was asked to leave.

i figured i was but i just like saying this..it solves a lot of headaches for me

I was actually saying I was late because I was Not In Before The That Is Why I Conceal Carry.

They seem to boil everything down to sex, to the point that they call us "ammosexuals." It's like their world revolves around it. Since they constantly reference Texas, maybe they have a similar fascination with Texans or cowboys. Are all liberals living in a brokeback fantasy?

I remember that. What a great thread. We need to do a group buy on some sort of INGO Ammosexual shirts.

I thought someone on INGO would have done the Rainbow Gadsen. There was talk of it. No OC in MA but almost all of northern NE is or is going with constituional carry.
I could see the Rainbow Gadsen workin gin MA as well.

Maybe a rainbow Gadsden tank top, pink shorts with INGO on the butt, and a drop leg holster.

this is why i conceal carry

You conceal your gun so people won't use you as an excuse to skip out on their checks?

Interesting. Ridiculously so.

I conceal for 2 reasons...1 is libtards. 2, if a bad guy makes an appearance and he sees I am carrying, I will more than likely be his first target.

You conceal for libtards and bad guys? You seem to have adopted a common myth as well rather than putting much thought into this.

Why does anyone need to know I carry? Again, MHO.

You look like a more generally appealing potential victim when you hide the fact that you're armed. Most criminals will avoid an armed citizen. But, you may have higher priorities than your own personal safety and defense weighing on your preferred carry method, like not offending "libtards".

Correct. I just remember people joking about exposing their firearm to get a free meal... Just basically pushing the antis "making them pay" as the article puts it. The man could have left without paying. But that would be of poor character, something that is obviously not of importance to this philosophy prof.

Aside from his logic errors he does mention that open carriers are activists. If people are activists they do not want to cause harm that would diminish their efforts therefore a gun carries no more weight than a sign or t-shirt at that point. I must conclude that a person who is in fear for their life because an activist is present is an unreasonable person.
What kind of mind creates visualizations of mass murder when a gun is present?

I'm fine with philosophy and I greatly enjoy reading it. This guy is just a fool.

Meh. Let 'em walk. After a few of them get arrested for theft of services and whatever else they get gigged with, the nonsense will stop. Being offended is no reason to chew and screw.

Depends on how smart the person is. If they walk out, and immediately call the police or establishment afterwards, I doubt a theft charge will stick.

Why are legal gun owners always under attack by these libtards? Do they really think a criminal is going to walk in and sit at a table with a gun on their hip? The mindset these people have is beyond ridiculous. I've never liked to oc, but articles like this makes me want to start oc'ing so it becomes the normal and they get off their high horse.

Apparently that is why he is a "professor". When one cannot cut the mustard doing anything else in the real world, become a professor of something or other. That requires no other skill than a Master's or PhD, and little if any real world experience.

Great! INGOers will be skipping out on checks left and right now that the secret is out!

A philosopher, huh?

The question of leaving without paying has been raised here in regards to OCers who have been asked to leave a restaurant for OCing. The general concensus is to stay classy, pay, leave, and inform management why you won't patronize them in the future. It's legal to carry. Not legal to leave without paying just because you don't like what you see. It's theft and I think such a thief would have a tough time convincing the police otherwise.
