Some are some arenât, similar to the machines, some are great with them some need to just leave them alone. However there is no rule to keep that small percentage of WTF users away from the machines and or handle themselves appropriately with holstered guns open or concealed. Yes there are alot of what-ifâs, and your right thereâs no fool proof mechanism to cover all bases.
I think the real fear amongst those against it, look at ok you open it up the responsible members, what is the WTF member gonna do. Itâs the small percentage group thats gonna keep people on edge, the same group everyone looks out for in all other areas of the space, when you sit and watch them and are like what are you thinking as they are about lop a finger off etcâŚ
Alot of it too is we all donât know one another, so those that carry are like I dont know these people, iâm not trusting anyone. I know if i knew all of those who wanted to open carry talked to them etc, then i wouldnt think twice about seeing a pistol around their waist. Itâs trully a comfort level based on what type of interaction you have with people.
So we are talking about random gun sightings and its just human nature to assess what it is your seeing and how to deal with it. Has anyone been around friends that have guns, and instictively at one point and time say hey put that thing awayâŚGuns are scarey no way around it, they portray death, and most people fear death.
Lets be honest we get a new member join, nobody knows him, and day 1 walks in strapped, doesnt speak to anyone just keeps to himself. Even those that do carry, would you not have the lease bit concern until you actually interacted with the guy?
So this will be a learning and acceptance thing for all of us.
