Originally posted by Lanny Concealed carry is probably a more aggressive pro-gun stance than open carry, the left will cede to open carry laws before concealed on the premise that it's at least safer to know if someone is carrying a gun, and probably it will be easier to run a shame campaign and generally discourage carrying a firearm in an open carry environment. The second point is probably valid, even if ghey. The point here is that you're retarded.

Thank you for your letter. It was certainly interesting to hear of
conditions out on the West Coast. What can I tell you about the situation here
at CMU? I'm really glad I came to CMU. The faculty is absolutely first rate,
and they all take pride in their weapons skills. We are admittedly a pretty
opinionated bunch, which provides for many interesting interchanges within the
community. I, for instance, think the long barrel .44 Automag is more of a
fashion statement than a weapon, though you won't catch me saying that within
earshot of Prof. Fahlman. If you catch my drift.
I am very fond of Berkeley. I think that while LA represents the dark,
twisted climb-the-water-tower-and-start-shooting-until-the-Marines-settle-it
side of California weirdness, Berkeley represents the very best of the pure,
innocent-killer side of it all. The first weekend I ever spent in Berkeley
was in the summer of 1983. I was sitting down at one of those really
delightful cafes you have out there. To my left some old man was drinking
cappucino and practicing Chinese calligraphy; down the street some
undergraduates were engaged in a running firefight. I was taking it all in,
thinking that Berkeleians have remembered something about living well that the
rest of America seems to have forgotten; when this kid's stray .223 slug
shattered my glass of pomegranate soda. "Crazy undergraduates" I remember
chuckling to myself as I put the safety back on my Hi-Power and returned it
to its holster.
It seems a shame that ammunition is so hard to come by out there, though.
We are quite spoiled here at CMU. The departmental attitude towards logistical
support really crystallized for me in September of my first year. One of the
incoming first-year hot-shots had taken out Prof. Felton with a head shot from
500 yards. We were all really impressed, and I think it was generally agreed
that Felton couldn't have asked for a more painless, appropriate end. It was a
beautiful, almost poetic way to cap what had been a textbook career of
brilliant, original mathematical insights punctuated with outbursts of random,
deeply unhinged violence.
You've probably heard of Felton (National Academy of Science, IEEE Past
President, NRA sustaining member). My advisor told me later that Felton's
academic peak had come at that now-infamous 1982 Symposium on Data Encryption,
when he presented the plaintext of the encrypted challenge message that Rob
Merkin had published earlier that year using his "phonebooth packing" trap-door
algorithm. According to my advisor, Felton wordlessly walked up to the
chalkboard, wrote down the plaintext, cranked out the multiplies and modulus
operations by hand, and wrote down the result, which was obviously identical to
the encrypted text Merkin had published in CACM. Then, still without saying a
word, he tossed the chalk over his shoulder, spun around, drew and put a 158
grain semi-wadcutter right between Merkin's eyes. As the echoes from the shot
reverberated through the room, he stood there, smoke drifting from the muzzle
of his .357 Magnum, and uttered the first words of the entire presentation:
"Any questions?" There was a moment of stunned silence, then the entire
conference hall erupted in wild applause. God, I wish I'd been there.
But I digress. At Felton's funeral, our departmental chairman delivered
the eulogy. I'll never forget his summation: "Poor Felton. Published and
published, yet perished just the same." And that's the attitude that the
professors take here. As my advisor said: "The tragedy of Galois is that he
could have contributed so much more to mathematics if he'd only spent more
time on his marksmanship." The professors at CMU aren't in the business of
turning out effete researchers, aimed at the big industrial labs. They are
interested in training *real* academicians, suitably prepared for life in the
jungle of university-level computer science. And that means time spent
practicing our teaching skills and weapons handling *as well as* making
fundamental research contributions to the field.

Get with the times, society is collapsing and the new dark age is soon to commence.
have a look at those guys in texas who 'open carried' in starbucks as a protest against their 'no guns' policy a few years ago
it was like a fucking pride parade with more chrome -

Open carry is probably actually safer, tbh. At least when dealing with cops. Having seen at least one black dude get shot after announcing he was (legally) carrying a concealed weapon, it'd be a lot better if the cops could see where your gun is to put everyone at ease. That said, concealed carry keeps liberal fannies from having panic attacks every time they walk into a McDonalds, so there's some merit to concealed carrying for their peace of mind.
Optimally everyone would familiarize themselves with firearms and become comfortable with the idea of seeing them in public (open carry culture), but I don't see that ever happening. Genuinely seems as though many are equally as afraid of owning/using a firearm as they are of having one used against them. Which is unfortunate.
