Saw an open-carry shitbird at the grocery store today.

18. That, and "I have a tiny mind".

Open carry nutcakes are full of fear. They'll never do the right thing under pressure -- mostly because their fear rules them.

I've known a couple of these lunatics over the years. They carry their father's or uncle's childhood terror with them like it's a badge of bravery.

I've met plenty of brave men -- WWII marines, Vietnam combat grunts -- none carried a weapon. They might have kept a rifle stuffed in a box out in the garden shed, but that's it.

My tax attorney was a decorated Ke Sanh vet, won the Silver Star for capturing two North Vietnamese soldiers while on patrol one night. Toughest guy I've ever met, but he was sensible about weaponry. Didn't own one, didn't like gun culture. Gave it all up when he became a parent.
