HSUS Stupidity
The Humane Society of the United States opposes carry of handguns because you might decide to go poaching:
in order to protect wildlife from poaching and ensure public safety, reverse final rule by Bush Administration that undid a longstanding ban on carrying of loaded, concealed weapons in National Parks; continue the historic prohibition on sport hunting in national parks, and prevent attempts to allow private sport hunters to target elk in Rocky Mountain National Park and Theodore Roosevelt National Park; oppose legislation like H.R. 1179, S. 917, and S. 684 in the 110th Congress that would open National Parks to sport hunters

Anyone who can take a bull elk with a SIG 229 just can’t be stopped anyway.

Markie Marxist sez: “It’s just common communist sense! Disarmament is a public safety measure, at least for our Marxist/warrior/hero/criminals who shouldn’t have to worry about getting shot as they rob, rape, and plunder capitalist America. You’re not opposed to public safety, are you?”

Is that a Winchester .308 in your pants or are you just glad to see me?

This is important, because it is a blood libel (at least of animal blood) regarding both those who would legally carry concealed, and of hunters in general.
Legal is legal. The Humane Society should be shamed publicly for their smear of legal concealed carriers as potential poachers. When we are safe in quickie marts, on public streets, driving, in parks (in some counties in TN, anyway), and everywhere else we go legally, what will make us turn poacher in a national park?
Similarly, hunting has done more for preservation of wildlife in the US than any environmental group. This needs to be shouted twice as loud whenever anyone says hunting is bad.

PPPPHHHHFFFF! ARE THEY STUPID??! Im gonna poach weather I have a handgun or not:) People dont poach because they have guns, people poach mostly because they are HUNGRY or at least that is how it is where I am from. Silly faggots, Dicks are for Chicks!

Yes, because nothing takes down a grizzly or a moose like a Ruger LCP.

The HSUS has a long history of dishonesty about hunters and gun owners. Do not confuse them with your local humane society.

it’s one of those things that needs to be stated for the record a lot, just in case somebody’s started reading since the last time: the “Humane Society of the United States” has no connection to the “Humane Society” that runs your local animal shelter. they’re just squatting on the good names and reputations of all those locally-run shelters, is all. animal shelters tend to be associated with the American Humane Association, if anything at all.
