I understand wanting to be respectful I just don't think there is any relationship between this and being respectful.
It's no different than any other private thing.
Should a gay man tell everyone he meets he is gay so that person can leave if they don't like it?
Should a conservative tell his liberal friends so they can ask him to leave?
Do you hand them a list of all the contents in your car, wallet, or your closet at home?
I don't mean to be flippant, but frankly it's none of their business.
But there is a larger issue. You've heard the saying you can't love someone until you love yourself. Well, you can't expect others to respect your rights when you don't respect your own rights.
The biggest obstacle we face in advancing our rights is WE still think we owe explanations like this. We think putting on a gun is like dressing up in Goth apparel and WE act like we are some kind of outcast or freak. We rail against what Bloomberg and the MOMs say about us, but we act like deep down we believe them.
And I am not talking about being right and shoving it on someone's face. We are talking about revealing a private thing.
My gun in my holster is private, and it's no one's business but mine.
And unless we all start understanding and thinking like that, we will lose.
