Get Off My Side

It seems to me that no matter what the demographic of the human race you look at; whether you group us by gender, race, religious beliefs, social beliefs, etc. there is always that very small percentage that makes the rest look bad. There are the few odd balls that find their way into the general public’s eye and foster all negative assumptions and stereotypes that get labeled upon the whole group. The odd balls that make pro-gun people looked bad have a new leader.

I’m sure by now many of you know that the chain store Target and been in the news as the latest battleground for a large retailer being forced to make a statement on their customers carrying. I’m also sure many of you have seen this floating around on Facebook.

Images of a moron loose in a Target store, brandishing a weapon to prove a point.

I am in complete agreement with what he said. But unfortunately his actions speak much, much loader than his words. Brandishing a weapon in a public place is never a good way to get your point across in a disagreement. Not only does it make him look like a complete moron, it makes every legal gun owner, especially those who chose to responsibly carry, look like morons.

Whenever I see people with the same passion and beliefs for the right of someone to be able to protect themselves by carrying a firearm pull a stunt like this, I want to scream “get off my side!”
