No conversation about carrying a firearm for defensive purposes would be complete without discussing the various forms of carry. While everyone is familiar with the most popular forms, Hypocrite Carry has emerged as a new and fashionable trend among the political and economic elite.
Just to review, the forms of carry include:
Open Carry: A firearm carried on a person in plain view of the general public.
Concealed Carry: A firearm carried on a person but covered by clothing, so it is not visible to the general public.
Off Body Carry: A firearm carried by the person, but concealed in a bag, purse or satchel that can be set aside when needed.
Off Person Carry: A firearm carried by others on behalf of the person who does not carry a firearm. Typically involves paid armed private security or law enforcement.
Hypocrite Carry: A firearm carried by others on behalf of the person who does not carry a firearm while advocating that others should not be allowed to carry a firearm. Absolutely involves taxpayer funded law enforcement or paid armed private security.
Advantages of Hypocrite Carry include being able to say you are against people carrying dangerous firearms, including semi-automatic handguns and so-called “assault weapons” while your paid, protective staff utilize the cutting edge, safest and most effective modern firearms, including “large capacity magazines” (otherwise known as standard capacity magazines) you are attempting to keep out of the hands of others. The Hypocrite Carrier is free to do whatever they like and not be concerned about their own security since that is the sole job of the armed staff.
Who are the Hypocrite Carriers? It is very common among politicians. But while you might think this is just a federal congressional type thing, as evidenced by their liberal use of the nationwide Capitol Police department and US Air Marshalls (on VIP flights), it’s also a thing at the state and local government level. While the taxpayer funded security details of state and local government officials are smaller, they are still omnipresent and provided by state and local law enforcement agencies.
And speaking of law enforcement agencies, let’s not forget the “politicians with badges” who are appointed to run police departments in liberal leaning areas. While they ‘can’ carry a firearm themselves, most of the times they don’t since it messes with the lines of the suits.
Business executives also fall into this group since they ‘need’ to have this level of security. They say they don’t want it, but their Board of Directors, made up of other business leaders, makes them have it. Their armed private security is typically made up of ex-military and law enforcement types.
Last but not least, we have the gun control activists. Their armed private security is also typically made up of ex-military and law enforcement types and paid for by the folks in the above groups.
What do all these folks have in common? They are all trying to make it so YOU cannot carry a firearm for your own protection or the protection of your family while THEY venture out into the world inside a security bubble of armed law enforcement or private security.
As for why, that’s the easiest part to understand. These people want to have exclusive control over who gets to be protected with firearms. If they can turn a right into a privilege, they can decide who get protection and who does not. The non-hypocrite class then becomes fully dependent on the government for whatever measure of “safety” they decide to provide. And since the government has no legal obligation or responsibility to protect YOU, you’re giving up your rights for the promise of safety that will never come.
The Hypocrite Carry class is not actually opposed to firearms, or being protected by firearms, they are just opposed to YOU carrying a firearm for YOUR protection.
Ever since the United States Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen in 2022, gun-control states have been passing “Bruen response laws”. Not to comply with it mind you, but to circumvent it and make the ruling moot. A common feature among them is to declare virtually all public and privately owned space outside your home a “sensitive space” where firearms are not allowed, thus negating the whole concept of being able to carry a firearm for personal protection outside the home.
The good news is most of the elements of these laws are currently held up in litigation as they clearly violate Bruen, the Nutty Ninth (the leftist/west coast Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals) being a notable exception – to the surprise of absolutely no one. As some point these cases will get back before the United States Supreme Court and hopefully, they will clear up not only the correct application of Bruen, but also the seemingly never-ending world of fictitious “sensitive space” gun free zones.
The next time you hear someone talking about how nobody should be walking around in public with “a loaded gun”, take a step back and look at who is keeping watch over them. Are they surrounded by a team of armed law enforcement or private security? Well guess what, they’re exercising THEIR Second Amendment protected right to keep and bear arms using Hypocrite Carry.
