Conceal/Open Carry And A Scone Please

A wise man once said:

Thespians (sic) with no children who know better than you how to raise your children may disagree, and unfortunately will occupy positions of power in the Social Services arena ...

I tend to agree with this observation, specially as it is extended to the ginned-up polemic that Starbucks and its Conceal Carry policy, has brewed.  As the gun-fearing lib-wuzz masses fear, this is what they think is happening inside coffee houses throughout the land:


I like that .38 Special on that Cashier, though.

As well it *should* be! Walking into a store with a drawn pistol is bad enough, but doing it while yakking on a BlooTuth is inexcusably ill-mannered!

I am of that generation, in which people didn't speak to themselves and/or the voices in their head.  Ever since, that evil contraption started sprouting out from people's ears, I just can't tell which should find benefit from modern pharmacologicals, and which are just chatting away with their BFF's.

Oh you know Massa, I never let a good waste to quote.

 I have a friend who is a Reformed Presbyterian, and every man and some women in their Sunday morning service is armed..., AT CHURCH! I think the devil should be a little concerned....

I know it's just a humor video, but I winced at every shot of a finger wrapped tightly around the trigger.

I guess they don't know that Brandon Lee was killed by a gun shooting blanks.

 i thought there were supposed to be blanks.

If I had a restaurant I think I'd have a big sign saying I appreciated the Second Amendment and hoped any concealed carry holders would come to my aid if someone robbed the place, hoping that the sign itself would discourage unwanted people from trying anything.
 
By John of Argghhh! on April 2, 2010 1:39 PM
Steve - that leads to me to think my sign might read, "We welcome concealed carriers.  It's the open carriers with the weapon out of the holster we get concerned about.  When that happens, concealed carriers are welcome and encouraged to become open carriers."

...my sign might read, "We welcome concealed carriers."

Get real. You'd never fit an Essex-class through the door, let alone hide the damn' thing.

I agree with Casey on the trigger finger issue.  Made me wince every time, too... 
There are several jewelry stores and a Chevy Chase bank in NoVA that have a large "no guns" sign on their doors - makes me wonder every time if they realize what they are doing... I do not patronize these establishments on principal but see the signs as I walk by...

Robber: "Stick 'em up."

Manager: "You can't bring a gun in here -- didn't you read the sign?"

Heh.

Kinda like that ordinance in Chico, CA -- "Possession or detonation of a nuclear device within the City Limits is strictly prohibited. Violators liable for a fine of $1,000."

Idiot is hiding, behind a brick wall, from a cannon.  After watching the cannon blast through an identical wall and turn to face his, Idiot runs out and puts a piece of paper on his wall, then goes back to hiding.

Bill,
Did I miss the reveal of YOUR whatziss??

Video store put up a "No guns" sign; I asked why, was told that there had been a rash of robberies in the parking lot. "You should really put up a sign that says'Muggers: Patrons leaving here are disarmed for your safety'," I replied. "Hmmm" the manager said, "I knew there was something goofy about that idea!" and took the sign down.
 
By Casey on April 2, 2010 10:32 PM
Bill, please in the name of all that's sane, tell me you're kidding about Chico, CA!!!

Because that would make a great T-shirt. :)

Ah, dear Baroness, you didn't miss it -- you were merely waiting unti the comments ceased so you could savor them as part of the whole, mais oui?

Casey, there's no sign anymore -- frat boys kept stealing them -- but the law is still on the books.

City municipal code section 9.60, Ordinance 1564 §2 says:

No person shall produce, test, maintain, or store within the city a nuclear weapon, component of a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon delivery system, or component of a nuclear weapon delivery system. (Ord. 1564 §2 (part))

That's part of the buildup to an April Fool's joke from a science commentary site, Watts Up With That. The buildup was real, which made the joke more believable. The full wordng of the law *and* the newspaper clipping are only a couple of paragraphs below the header.

I'd file a suit against them for discriminating against carriers of any type, be they battleship or no...
 
By Cortillaen on April 3, 2010 9:39 AM
If I'm reading this right, the ordinance bans people from making, storing, or testing nukes but not simply bringing (or dropping) one into town and detonating it as an attack.  As if the concept of the ordinance wasn't screwy enough, they botched the construction, too.  I'm thinking this deserves to be immortalized on the failblog and shall endeavor thusly posthaste.
 
By BillT on April 3, 2010 10:58 AM
The wording of the ordinance does, indeed, appear to exempt a *foreign* attacker from being fined or jailed for detonating a nuke for the purposes of removing the city and citizens of Chico from the face of the earth.

Don't know how they'd react to the revalation that the gas mantles in Coleman lanterns contain thorium 232 -- bulldoze all the hardware stores?

Bill,
what a wonderful and interesting story behind the whatziss!  and I like the whatziss itself o:)

Since this is a silly thread:

Don't miss the one about cat yodeling.  It is...hysterical.
 
By Justthisguy on April 3, 2010 8:23 PM
Nah, Coleman took the thorium out years ago. You can still get the good kind from someplace in Canada, I read someplace. Reminds me. I need to find an Aladdin or two for next hurricane season.
 
By Baroness Ophelia Kensington-Gore on April 5, 2010 1:35 PM
Criket,
those were hilarious!
PS I did not know that I have been facilitating cat yodeling since I was 7 yo :o)
