But I still believe that we all lost the right to keep and bear arms a long time ago
You can't lose an inalienable right, but you might have to dye to defend it.

Wrong again. There's no such thing as "open carry in a car" in WA. Once you get into the car your firearm is concealed. In that case, yes, you need a CPL. The wording they used in that statement was poor. Open carry is a right, driving or riding in a car is not.
Open Car Carry - Firearms may be openly carried in cars only with a permit/license.

I'm gonna dye myself orange next week in fact.You can't lose an inalienable right, but you might have to dye to defend it.
I've seen a lot of posts claiming that open carrying is begging to have some scum bag grab your gun and use it on you. I disagree. The average person who open carries isn't going out looking for trouble, and isn't any more likely to find it. I don't think some crazed junkie is going to run up and grab my pistol while I'm standing in line at Starbucks.
If there were such a thing as inalienable rights you'd be correct. But since no one has explained the practical difference between a right that doesn't exist and one that is denied then I'd have to say you're incorrect on this point.
And what you and your anti buddies would do well to realize is that there are a hell of a lot of people ( armed people I might add) out here who see this issue exactly the way I do and are quite willing to fight to enforce our view.
So we have an obligation to fight for our rights, to educate others to do so, and to keep pushing back against those who would take it away.
As statistics prove, more guns, less crime.
Really? Hmm.... Dont get me wrong..Im all for owning/carrying a weapon, but I find this "fact" somewhat dubious. I guess it all depends on where you live.
I agree with others who think that we should have both OC and CC. The reason why is:
1. If you are planning on CC, but your gun prints or somehow is revealed, then legal OC protects you.
2. If you are planning on OC, but your coat or shirt obscures it, then legal CC protects you.
So the two go hand-in-hand.
That's an absurd interpretation. They were prisoners. They were deprived of life and liberty (and property too no doubt). They rioted. Prisoners at Attica rioted too and took control of the prison. Were they merely exercising their inalienable rights?I'm going to use Sobibor for an example, The prisoners at Sobibor had a right to life & liberty not granted by government. And even though the legitimate government at the time had taken their physical freedom and was planning to take their lives. It couldn't separate them from their right to life and freedom which they exercised by killing several of the guards and escaping en masse.
