    "Printing" refers to being able to see the imprint/shape of a firearm, typically a pistol, underneath the cover garment.

    Even Madonna's cone bra was better than this.

    Advice to protesters: only your husband wants to see your boobs. Ugh. Or maybe not.

    Careful there making an argument for "the way things are or happen to be". That ideology suggests that because a lot of people fear guns, open carry shall be considered "flashing".

    That's exactly the argument the topless protest wants to make. They intend to use the opposition arguments against them as parallel arguments for their cause.

    Laws are the beginning of problems. Ask for laws to prohibit things you don't approve of. The same is done to things you approve of but others do not. The old "slippery slope".

    Apparently, it's not "indecent". Just like open carry is not gross misconduct or simply just misconduct.

    The correlation, from the anti open carry side, is:

    "It's legal to go topless, but it is unnecessary. It's legal to open carry, but it's unnecessary. "

    That's the bait for their argument.

    Here are some facts about open carry in Texas.
    Q: Why Can't I Open Carry my Handgun in Texas (in Public)?
    A: Texas has long had a prohibition on the open display of handguns. This dates back to the days of Cowboys in the "Wild West" era of the 1800s; contrary to public opinion
    http://www.texasgunlaws.org/texas-open-c...

    Open Carry Texas (OCT) is an organization dedicated to the safe and legal carry of firearms openly in the State of Texas in accordance with the United States and Texas Constitutions and applicable laws.
    Our Mission:
    3) Encourage our elected officials to pass less restrictive open carry legislation.
    http://www.opencarrytexas.org/

    Michigan is one of the fastest growing states in regards to the practice of open carrying a handgun. 44 States allow some type of Open Carry of a handgun. 6 States ban open carry. Most bans were enacted during or after reformation, to bar freed slaves from carrying weapons.
    http://miopencarry.org/

    That claim is not entirely true. Of the states that ban open carry, South Carolina, Texas, and Florida were in the Confederacy. New York, Illinois, and California were not.

    I live in Austin. I had no idea this took place. This is the state capital. We get protest every day and twice on Sunday. However, the Austin Astronomy Club is having a viewing night tonight. Unfortunately, the prediction is for partly to mostly cloudy. It all depends on what you consider important.
    "Seeing in the Dark by Timothy Ferris is a narrative rhapsody honoring amateur astronomy. You do not need even a telescope to be blessed by the wonder of the skies. City lights are not a barrier. Certainly, a large telescope deep in the countryside, above the surrounding landscape is best. Building your own observatory is the epitome of the hobby. But for anyone, anywhere, passion and patience deliver the rewards. Seeing in the Dark is about the people whose love and work open the universe for themselves and others.

    The titular idea $5Au milks from this episode is that GoPro should manufacture a boob-cam, preferably with live streaming capability, so that everyone can keep abreast of such activities in real time.

    There was a little boy whose parents both worked and was taken care of by a nanny. He was around 4 years old and was inclined to take out his penis now and then and parade up the block with it. It stopped when his grandma took over from the nanny. A little 4 year old was not listened to and probably wasn't able to express his need for love and attention. His actions got him the attention he needed and solved his problem. Too bad the Boob-Ladies' problem is not as worthy as his was.

    Every pin-up since the '50's has been a BP rip-off. The modern day BP is Dita von Teese.

    Actually, she was the ultimate feminist - one who controlled her own body and used her wits.

    Few guns look as bad as those boobs, so yes, I can see their point against open carry. They do need to holster those weapons, even though they've been demiled.
