nothing. it is completely legal here, so why raise a fuss. the only difference between me and him would be mine is covered by a peice of cloth.
 
What would you do?

Suppose you're sitting in the local [strike]waffle house[/strike] Chinese Buffet at [strike]9:00a[/strike] 12:30pm one Sunday [strike]morning[/strike] after church with your family and some guy comes in with a big honken' [strike]gun[/strike] watch strapped to his [strike]leg[/strike] wrist. [strike]Open carry[/strike] Clockwork is perfectly legal at this particular time and place, although many of the church going families glance over at this [strike]gun[/strike] watch and there is general unease within the [strike]waffle house[/strike] Chinese Buffet.

Get it?

Whether the guy's wearing a watch or a gun... I don't care.

...there is general unease...

That's the only problem I see, but it's not my problem.
Someone needs to grow up.

Hee Hee Hee :D

I had to make a few corrections to accurately reflect my Sundays.
No Waffle House for me... maybe Cracker Barrel. Mmmmmmm!

Michael's in Rocky River, the place I'm mostly likely to go for breakfast has a liquor license, so I can't carry there in the first place. I don't know if the Bob Evans in Westlake is posted or not, even though they don't have a liquor license.

Hopefully, all of that liquor license foolishness will go away in the coming year.

Every year lately things improve in Ohio......Hopefully 2009 will not be an exception.
Although Waffle House doesn't fall under the liquor blanket and the ones near me are all posted "no firearms" anyway.
But that's okay because one nearest me has two rental-men with pepper spray to keep me safe :D
 
me i might go have a word with the guy

not telling him people were nervous but have a friendly gun owner to gun owner talk ask what kind it is the caliber ect say thats pretty cool

then id say mines in an iwb :)

edit:

wait ....... awful waffle serves food before midnight?

wow ive only been in there between the hours of 12-6am

always the place to go when the bars stop serving so you can get sum food

either there or ihop but our ihops sanitation score is like an 85 so i dont go there a whole lot
 
I would watch the guy to see if
A.) He got harassed by the cops.
B.) A bad guy beat him up and took his gun.
C.) If someone robbed the place and shot him first.
D.) All the antis in the restaraunt called their congressman en masse to get stricter gun laws passed.

Like all the antis here say will happen every time this topic comes up.
 
LOL, I got a kick out of that one Rockwell. It's funny, the only one that can actually be proven to happen with any level of regularity is A. The rest is the same conjecture and imagination they keep accusing open carriers of...
 
Mind my own business, because I may be sitting there with my own.

Why would gunowners be nervous about other gunowners. We are in the same fraturnity.
 
Whenever CCW is debated in any state, the antis always come up with wild-eyed, sky-is-falling "predictions" -- "The murder rate will go up!!" "There will be shootouts over parking spaces!" "It will be like the Wild West!!" (Conveniently not mentioning there was less violent crime in the Wild West than there is today in the Civilized East.)

And none of those "predictions" comes true.

The time has come when it is no longer intellectually honest to predict what will happen if a state adopts CCW, open carry, allows guns in restaurants where liquor is served, or in state parks, or does away with mandatory training. We have states that have done all those things, and the only intellectually honest approach is to report what did happen when those laws were passed.

Nothing happened. No shootouts in parking lots, no criminals attacking people openly carrying, no people doing all sorts of wierd things out of ignorance.
 
Vern... wait a minute. Are you telling me that these gun toting Americans are not apt to use those handguns when they come across another individual with which they have a conflict? Wow. Who would'a thought.:p

When the Florida CCW bill passed, the Miami Chief of Police was on TV throwing a hissy fit. Among other things, he vowed his department would keep book on all the unlawful shootings by CCW holders.

A year later, he was interviewed again, and they asked him, "How many shootings like that have you recorded?"

He scowled and said, "We don't have any."

You could tell he was POed. Dang those gun toters!! They wanted to shoot it out over parking spaces, but they weren't doing it, just to make him look like a fool.

(Hey, Chief! We don't have to make you look like a fool. You seem to be handling that chore all by yourself.);)
 
my lifes experiences have led me to following conclusions:

1. I'm more concerned about an out of place or criminal looking person, than the guy open carrying with a thigh holster.

2. large in size, does not imply criminal looking.

3. people with criminal intent our not likely to either open carry or legally concealed carry.
 
We are in the same fraturnity.
