Going back to the video… one of the women was complaining that her first gun was stolen, then used in a murder. She felt put upon that she had been criticized for having the weapon. Speaking as a gun owner, she should have had a trigger lock on her gun if she was not carrying it, especially since she has young children in the house.

WOW !

Take note sports fans – the question in #15. was “who benefits ?” which, for some reason devolves into “who profits ?”

Let me take a try at emulating your prose, Mr. Box:

Bbox seemingly attempts to denigrate his own intellectual fortitude by self inflicting a preemptive assessment of his intelligence, further concluding that he may be (or may not be, depending on the factions involved) an idiot.

Who stands to profit from such a statement????? Ask your self….. especially under the specious accounts of our so called “journalist” who may or may not be (or for all things considered, be the same as) Marty?????….?????…..@@@@.

Regardless, factional or otherwise, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and the Iraq everywhere like such as.

Nope –

“Who does this kind of divisiveness benefit ?”

Long-winded TCB commenters?

Marty seems stuck on trying to minimize the consequences and arguments of regular folks making a decision to not partronize businesses where OC functions are “advertised”. . . . seemingly, Marty is attempting to minimize the impact of their choices.

Seemingly, Marty is so fixated on proving these folks ineffective with their decision to avoid this place of business, that s/he/it tries to rationalize the lack of consequence or impact by these folks – first by trying to suggest that “corporate america” doesn’t care about customer choices and, second, by suggesting that franchises might, again, disregard customer preferences. . . . . in both cases, Marty completely overlooks the consequence and needs of the local operator/manager/owner…..

BUT, finally Marty gets some wood on the ball on his/her/it’s third swing of the bat and bumps into a logical argument – - that, perhaps the O.C folks made up some of the losses resulting from non-O.C. customers who chose to avoid the venue . . .

“Even a blind squirrel . . . ” comes to mind.

It is difficult to argue that this kind of behavior can only represent dissention for dissentions’ sake.

Who does this kind of divisiveness benefit ?

These are probably franchises, but I bet it’s a no-loss event for them. For an hour, they lose a Ringo and gain another customer. If the business were targeted as a regular hangout, that would be a different story. But, I suppose the ultimate objective for the open carry movement is to spread their presence across as many public places as they can as a means of making gun carrying more commonplace. It’s kind of like a gay pride parade for the 2nd Amendment.

Corporate America problaby doesn’t “wince” as my friend Marty points out.

But with this same statement, Marty also seems to discount (or is unable to comprehend) the very real concerns and sensitivities by local businessmen and women and ANY dynamic which has the potential to redirect revenues away from their local businesses.

“Jamba or B&N lost the sales from me today.”

Corporate America winces.
