Open Carry v. Concealed carry

Despite my ragging on Meleanie Hain for her open carry ways, I think that open carry is the way to go. Meleanie's problem was that she was toting around a piddly little glock to kids' soccer games. That caused the other soccer mom's to freak out.

They're no fun!

On the other hand, the Swiss know how to do it properly as this off duty soldier with his Sig demonstrates. Yeah, you've got to get a permit to carry (literally and openly) the thing around if you are off duty, but how many people are gonna fuck with you when you have an assault rifle?

Unfortunately, the Swiss are moving away from this sort of thing.

Nanny State State indeed

I like to point out that the Second Amendment was supposed to protect us from Standing Armies by ensuring a Swiss Style military; however, it has been perverted beyond recognition.

How many Second Amendment advocates would be willing to give up their time for the required military drill...

And lifestyle! Somehow in amongst all the talk about the Swiss military and its guns, people seem to have missed that the Swiss military is under the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection, and Sport! As their website says: We provide security and physical activity!

It's not just about shooting guns! Federal Office of Sports (FOSPO), responsible for sport policy, the National Youth Sports Centre Tenero and the Youth and Sport organisation. This is from Federal Office of Sports (FOSPO)

The Federal Office of Sport FOSPO in Magglingen promotes sport and physical exercise in Switzerland and its positive, useful and necessary role in society. It is a centre for services, education and training for Swiss sport and a sport scientific centre of excellence. Furthermore it establishes optimum conditions for sports facilities of national importance.

And they talk about the Nanny State! What would these out of shape gun cretins do if they were told to exercise!?!?!?!? They bitch about national health care.

Ha!
