Let’s face it, urban Progressive Elites hate the idea of Walmart – they hate the products, they hate the price, and of course, they hate the people that shop there. That’s why they give Walmart such a hassle (if not outright rage) when it announces it wants to build somewhere near them. Well, I think this is a GREAT reason to give those elites the heebie-jeebies (emphasis mine):
Walmart Sells Concealed Carry Clothing
WalMart is now selling a jacket specifically designed for concealed carry. While clothing designed for concealed carry has been available commercially for decades, WalMart’s move into the CCW clothing market indicates the ongoing “mainstreaming” of American gun ownership.
It’s a TWOFER! They already hate the idea of Walmart, that Walmart still sells guns – and now this should be the finger-to-the-eye pièce de résistance!
From WalMart.com:
Rothco’s Lightweight Concealed Carry Jacket has 2 inner pockets for concealed carry, one on each side, as well as 2 inner mag pockets on each side for ammo. The mirroring pockets on both the left and right, give the jacket a unique ambidextrous feature.
The jacket is a product of Rothco. It comes in Coyote Brown and black and sells for for $60 to $78. I haven’t examined onn, but its existence in WalMart’s inventory is a powerful statement about the normalization of the exercise of Second Amendment rights.
I’m not entirely sure that I agree completely with that last sentence – I think that most salt-of-the-earth “normals”
Sidenote: I’ve been seeing that word usage, normals, for a little bit now – consider us to be normal that are traditionalists of the American way and values: God, Country, Family. Work hard, play hard, take care of family. Self-reliant and self-responsible knowing that there is Higher Power that is greater than ourselves and that Life sometime requires much sacrifice and bearing that without assuming victimhood. Just do what the old DEC watchphrase (one that they should have paid more attention to themselves) called for: Do The Right Thing
just take guns for granted (you know, like breathing) and go “oh, ok”. They just are, and unlike what the Progressive Authoritarians believe, just tools, something to have fun with, hunting with, and for self-defense but not the dismal Progressive derogatory view o “clinging to” or “venerating over” (unless “venerating” is used in the vein of “it’s part of Freedom and Liberty”). This is just a simple extension of it.
Doesn’t hurt, either, that gun ownership tends to correlate well with more conservative outlooks on life and politics.
So, go “gift” a Progressive with a gun and matching jacket (heh!). Who knows, they might learn to appreciate Walmart, too.
