Open Carry Gathering in Broad Ripple - Let's Make Our Plans

[Caleb]

When admiring a slot machine, you don't want to suddenly become aware that it comes equipped with a "handle."

Oh damn, here we go...

 

[ATM]

Oh damn, he we go...

I blame Caleb.

(I don't think he's here just for the firearms)



J/K I'm done... sorry for threadjack.

 

[Caleb]

Like this?

hey, hey...I never been to Vegas!

 

[Caleb]

...or...

 

[gunbunny]

Yes indeedy...!

Nothing like a pretty little PPK/S or single stack S&W to make the boys disappear into a cloud of Wile E. Coyote dust.

(Though part of me wonders if that's just due to a case of hammer-envy on the part of the guys.)

Please tell me we're talking about a firearm here.

Teeny ... you mean you've actually met male people who got upset or fearful because a female person was carrying a pistola?

We have a variety of words for those types. The first phrase that comes to mind is that they were "ginormous pu**ies." If you encounter any more of them, just hand them a packet of Vagisil to soothe the pain in their mangina. Hopefully they won't wrinkle their skirt or get a run in their stockings.

The coolest things about chicks who carry guns:

• They have acknowledged their own self-worth and realize they are valuable and worth protecting
• They have taken responsibility for their own safety

That implies two very important things: confidence and strength.

Both of those qualities are good (essential) in either sex.

Man, where did all of that last part come from (<--- note the dangling preposition)? I got all serious for a little while.

They aren't actually bad people, but they are so irrationally afraid of guns that itty bitty blonde librarian-girls appear to be hardcore inner city thugs when packing.

Yeah, I'm down wit da Lands End cardigan sweaters, yo. In the Subie family wagon with the flat four engine revvin', gonna roll wit my hubby to the 7-11. We need to get some soda and we ain't got any snackies. Got a custom compact Kimber in my capri fashion khakis...

I'm not scary! But I'm certainly not exempt from the assumptions people make about gun owners.

At a prior job, the crew thought it was hilarious to make jokes about me shooting up the workplace every day - which I had never shown any inclination towards doing, but they thought it was so funny that a girl was a shooter that it had to be used as joke fodder all day long. I eventually had to make the argument to HR that a consistent stream of insinuations about me being a person prone to violence (not! I swear, I'm not!) was defamatory and inappropriate, and that they could find a way to end the discussion or else I would find a lawyer willing to accomplish that for me.

I wasn't going to carry openly at the coffee shop in Broad Ripple because people never seem to quite know what to make of seeing a pistol on me. I don't have the clean-cut official look of most of the guys I know who carry where they could be mistaken for Something Official. It's like seeing Mr. Potato Head with one of the GI Joe weapons...

They aren't actually bad people,

Okay, I'll take your word for that.

Of course, since I am a bad person, I would recognize one when I met one!

 

[gunbunny]

Caleb, you weren't specific enough.

 

[Caleb]

Caleb, you weren't specific enough.

I only quoted your post...

 

[bwframe]

Got a custom compact Kimber in my capri fashion khakis...

Hmmm...

 

[Soundslikejosh]

Don't get any ideas bwframe.

The thought of you in capri fashion khakis...... ick.

 

[Don]

I might be up for this, depends if I go to bed friday night or not.

Doh, you just ruined the perfect picture I had in my feeble mind.

 

[txgho1911]

So this is not rescheduled for Nov 1?

 

[rhino]

It's not scheduled at all that I know. I only mentioned that the November is better for me, but I don't recall any concensus.
