See if I have this straight. You can open carry, or you can concealed carry, but if you choose to concealed carry, the gun can't be seen, openly. What kind of dumb law is that?

Excellent point. I suggest a consolidated strategy: talk to the manager, walk the fuck out, THEN call the cops, sit back and watch the fun from outside. The fact is, armed morons and armed cops in the same space have a non-zero chance of ending in gunfire.

Great idea! You could get a YouTube series out of that. Call it "Boogloo Swat."

Walton explained that the guy hadn't been carrying any weapons when he went into the courthouse, and the AT&T store didn't have a sign saying weapons aren't allowed.

What do you want to bet the Oklahoma chapter of the NRA would organize a boycott of any private business that put up such a sign?

Conservatism has turned into a death cult.

I'm guessing a "gambler's gun" intended for nothing more than face to face combat, with secondary uses when out of ammo.

I saw a revolver in a gun store that could handle either .45 caliber rounds or 4-10 shotgun shells. All I could think of was the recoil firing a shotgun shell from a handgun.

You never would have gotten the chance to take it into the saloon to be thrown out. You'd surrender your weapon to a sheriff's deputy at the town limits that could be picked up on your way out of town.

"I was in fear for my life." That's the 'get out of jail free' card. Use it.

I would guess that just as folks who will readily admit that they don't NEED an AR-15 or an AK or, really, any kind of gun at all, they possess and carry all that silly crap because they CAN. "it's muh rat as a Murrican"

Everyone has the right to carry a gun unless they're nuts. Anyone who WANTS to carry a gun is nuts. "That's some catch, that Catch-22" "The best there is" Doc Daneeka agreed

The act that Reagan signed in '67 was when he was Gov. Of California, the Lanterman-Petris-Short act that closed most of that state's mental hospitals. He did an eerily similar thing at the federal level shortly after becoming President.
