Houston, TX—Like many people I believe in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. There is no question in my mind that Americans have the absolute right to keep and carry arms everywhere. Politicians and some courts differ with this as they attempt to violate Americans rights under color of law.
Saying that, mentioning the foolishness of civilians openly carrying firearms must be discussed and debated. The debate about the law here is long over for me. Open carry or any carry is the law of the land. The debate about the wisdom of open carrying in an urban setting must continue.
Just because you can carry openly should you?
I say that open carry is incredibly problematic and will put you in prison or worse! Let’s begin with the worse. If you’re carrying a gun for personal and family security doing that openly, deprives you of the element surprise needed to survive a violent event. Even worse, experienced violent criminals can be counted upon to attempt to strong-arm you for your weapon. The tactical disadvantages of open carry are huge.
Other challenges are laid out like mines in a minefield. I’ve seen the fallout of open carry first hand. Here are just some scenarios:
A gun rights hater sees you with your gun and calls 911. The story this jerk tells is exaggerated in many different ways because the caller wants to see the police confront you and your gun. The 911 caller will say, “the guy appears drugged up or drunk” or “The guy looks mean and angry and has his hand on the gun!” or “The guy is paying quick draw in the street!” The police can be counted on to treat the call like it is valid and the potential for disaster here is enormous.
Then there is the town troublemaker who will see your weapon and will try to aggravate you and instigate to the point where something stupid happens.
Last but not least is the malicious person that you may or may not know. He or she wants to see you in jail and calls 911 saying, “there’s a guy with a gun and he pointed at me and threatened to shoot me!” The police arrive and see you carrying the gun as described. With a complainant that continues with this lie the police have absolute probable cause to arrest you for a felony crime of Aggravated Assault.
They will arrest you, seize your gun and you will spend the next year of your life fighting the lie in court. Between the huge cost for bail and lawyers, even if you win in court you lose. Yes, I’ve seen innocent people sent to prison for as much as seven years this way.
If you are arrested for Aggravated Assault there is an 80% chance you will be convicted. Innocence is really irrelevant in today’s American courtrooms.
If you are discreet and keep your weapon concealed you can avoid so many real booby traps that can kill you or ruin your life. Why would you take the unnecessary risks of open carry?
Saying all of that there are places where open carry is not a problem Events like those put on by SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) or for filmmaking.
I simply ask you to think before you place yourself in harm’s way by openly carrying.

Here are your problems,
1) you believe that their CON-stitution and laws apply to you
2) no one can prove that their CON-stitution and laws apply to you
3) You are not, nor have ever been a party to their CON-stitution
4) you are not a signatory to their CON-stitution
5) you as a private person have not sworn to be bound by and obey their CON-stitution or
any promulgations arising from, of or by any alleged authority granted to them via their CON-stitution
6) NONE OF IT APPLIES TO YOU AS A PRIVATE PERSON!
You may now kick and scream how wrong I am, that you are positive that their laws apply to you! You can’t possibly fathom as to how their laws don’t apply to you.
Everyone has told you that their laws apply to you, everyone believes their laws apply to you, it is your considered opinion that their laws apply to you, you assume and presume that their laws apply to you.. BUT CAN YOU PROVE IT!?! Nope!
All you have is your belief and opinion that it all applies to you/me/us.
Your indoctrination is staggering but it’s not your fault, they’ve spent a lifetime building up this lie. It will take more than a few sentences that challenge your indoctrination and their propaganda, to change your reality to the truth.
So, call your favorite government agency. ask them for factual, firsthand, irrefutable evidence that proves that their laws apply to you and that you are a party to their CON-stitution and YOU WANT THEM TO PUT IN THE FORM OF AN AFFIDAVIT UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY AND INCLUDE THEIR EVIDENCE!!
This is where the real fun begins, they will have more excuses than dill has pickles as to why they won’t sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury. they’ll put you on terminal hold and never come back to your call, they’ll hang up on you, they’ll tell you to prove it doesn’t apply to you, hell, they’ll even threaten you! .. ANYTHING but show you FACTUAL FIRSTHAND IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE THAT PROVES ANY OF IT APPLIES TO YOU via an affidavit! BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE PUT IN PRISON FOR PERJURY “which is a felony”
I know, you’re thinking, “hey, thats using the law that you said didn’t apply” right?? well the government employees have all sworn an OATH TO BE BOUND BY AND OBEY THEIR CON-stitution and laws.. YOU DIDN’T! So yes, their laws apply to THEM! NOT YOU!
Did you CONTRACT via a sworn oath, to be bound by and to obey their CON-stitution and laws?? No??? Well, there’s your answer!
