Hopefully the fact that you have no idea how to obey the CCW laws of the state you live in will penetrate and you'll either get better educated or stop carrying. Let me explain something to you. A If someone puts up a sign not to carry a gun I don't go there. It doesn't matter to me if it is a Federal law or just that the owner is an asshole, I will go somewhere else. B I know you can't carry a gun into a courthouse. Again it doesn't matter to me if it is a Federal, State, County, or City law, I am going to obey it. C I know that it is legal to carry open in this state but I don't for two reasons. First it is bad tactics, and second because if a gunaphobic like you sees it and panics I can be charged with disturbing the peace. D I know that it is legal to use whatever force I deem necessary to defend my property. At the same time I know that I can't shoot them in the back while they are running away. E I know that I don't have to run from a threat but that doesn't mean I can pick a fight, shoot the guy and claim self defense. This actually leads to me walking away from situations where I used to stand and argue because I have to be aware of how things can get out of control. F Safety is so ingrained in me that yesterday I had to chastise an employee in a gun store for the way he handled my handgun. And he agreed with me. (I had removed the magazine and he took it before I could empty the chamber. G Of course you want me to stop carrying, you want everyone to. H Not knowing the penalty for violating a law doesn't mean you don't know not to do something. F I know how to handle a firearm I I got stopped once for what you would call a weapons violation. The cop wouldn't let me in a courtroom because I had a weapon. The weapon? My wallet had a chain to attach to my belt to make it harder to be separated from the wallet. The penalty? I had to go back to the parking lot and leave my wallet in the car.
