    I actually wonder about that now. With the ruling yesterday in Colarado with the baker being forced to make cakes for gays. Maybe they could be forced to sell to the people with guns?

    It does if the attacker takes you out first.
    I agree that most are cowards who would probably try to avoid that situation, but I still wouldn't want to put that target on my back by letting them know I am carrying. I guess it is just personal preference, and I feel the art of surprise is a wonderful thing.

    Not serving gays is more comparable to not serving blacks. It's a civil rights issue and it's against the law.

    These restaurants did not say that they wouldn't serve the members of OCT or other pro-gun groups. All they said is that they didn't allow guns in their business, which is no different than a store requiring customers to wear shoes and shirts. Leave the guns outside and they would be served. Otherwise go to business that allows guns.

    Im on their side in this one. I agree with being able to open carry, but this group is doing it for the wrong reason and making us look bad. They are only doing it for attention, and it will not help our cause.

    They caved, that's too bad. They shouldn't have apologized. They fight for and ally with people who help build awareness on our rights, not destroy them. These "protesters" stood for everything that the NRA does not.

    I don't think they're cowards in as much as they're looking to simply rob the place, not kill someone. That's just wrong!
