Off topic-gun ownership

Most definitely

"Off Topic" section (as in, not the Porsche 986 Boxster, but maybe still car related ) or not, this is still a car forum. Take the little **** political gun debate to a gun forum.
Unless your intent on this site is to create rifts within our community, topics like this have no business here. How is that not obvious?

Nothing says you can't stick your tongue into a wall socket, either. That doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I carry a S&W featherweight .38 most of the time because it's so light I don't even know I have it on. Sometimes I carry my 9mm Glock. I have a CCW, but sometimes, given what I'm wearing I end up open carrying -- which is legal in Ohio. The only comment I ever got was, "Exercising your rights, huh?"

And I guess none of your conversations ever divert from the original topic. Sheesh. Since this is the 986 forum, we better not discuss ANYTHING else, to include 987s, 911s, Gemballas, cats, etc. Better stick on topic.

Here's an idea: if you don't like a topic, don't participate, just move on, or should we all conform to your expectations? Here's another idea: start your own forum and run it the way you want.

All of my points were covered in my previous post. You said absolutely nothing valid and did not actually address what I said at all, so you are either being purposefully or ignorantly provocative.

In other words: you are obviously just looking for a fight. You fit the profile
Here's a novel idea: take some of your own advice and don't participate if you don't like what I have to say.

There are certain things friends and family should never discuss and politics is right at the top (gun discussions = politics).

I was participating in the topic, you trolled, you came in looking for a fight. I always thought your posts were a little condescending, narcissistic, and sanctimonious, but then would give you the benefit of the doubt as it's hard to read intent and emotion in text. But you have now removed any doubt, so I thank you.

Friends and family should be able to DISCUSS anything; and your dart was anything but discussion.

Some congrats are in order ... I've only blocked one other person in all my years of participation across multiple forums. You've become number 2.
