Just saw a teaser that said 60 minutes is doing a story apparently about open carry tonight. So if your blood pressure is getting a little low.......

Nothing to worry about. They would Rather the stories be fiction, unrestrained by actual reality.

I used to watch 60 Minutes. They were biased and untruthful in everything they said and I couldn't stand watching any more. I stopped watching at least 10 years ago.

They are usually news theater, designed more for entertainment and ratings, than real news.
Nothing to see here.

A once very good show that has become a liberal cesspool

I wonder if they will show, for example, the guys carrying rifles in Starbuck's as representative.

Especially after the Katie Couric/VCDL affair, a gun owner, let alone an open carrier, would be crazy to let any "'news' organization" interview him or her. But just as Charlie Brown kept trying to kick the football, people keep going back for more.

Oh yeah. This will be a hack job, no questions asked. Just watch the preview video within the 60 Minutes link.

Well played, sir, well played indeed.

It seems to be more about concealed carry than open carry. Either way, I'm not watching.

Cyrus Vance is against the law.

"..."I wouldn't presume to tell the residents of West Virginia what their gun laws should be…but I don't think they or Congress should be having West Virginia laws put on New York City."

Liar, liar, Pants on Fire.

vance, debasio, cumo have all run their fly-traps about how VA needs to change their laws because whatever. Bloomberg sent snoops squads across the country to 'discover' how easy it was to buy a gun so as to terrify the nation about the gun epidemic.

When exatly was that?

I remember my Mother and I watching the show in the very early 80’s and I seeing my Mother get all outraged and shit. I was just watched the show waiting for CHiPs to start but my Mother seemed to be feeding on the outrage and indignation 60 minutes was proffering. Of course given my young age at the time I would have never summarized it that way.

I was under 10 years old (born in 1974) and apolitical at the time but it seemed like the show was some kind of guilt trip that people who used to be hippies or were sympathetic to the hippies would watch and get all huffy about afterward. Once a month I visited my Grandparents and the tone of 60 minutes seemed to basically go against anything my Grandparents believed, valued and used as conventional wisdom.

For that reason I quietly hated that show. Nothing has happened to that show in the past 35 years to convince me to alter my opinion.

I’ll second that.

You must be at least as old as I am, to remember when they were reputable. That ended by the early 1970's, as I remember it, and that's when I stopped watching it.

Luckily, with commercials they're down to 41 minutes.

60 minutes is still on? Who the hell watches that garbage?

I think we all know already without even watching a second of it what it will be. 99% anti gun BS propaganda with 2 seconds of some NRA rep thrown in for "balance"

It will be a giant hit piece. I wont even tune in to see the train wreck and give them the extra rating.

Was that not the bunch that broke several federal laws in "proving their point"? Crap like phony documentation, lying on the forms, etc!

Yeah, lots of "reporting" going on there!

60 minutes is full of shit, has been full of shit for decades. Several decades now.

Rather, himself, is a damned liar as he proved long ago.

Fiction is Safer - they don't want ratings to Stahl.

I remember, as a kid, watching them blow up a Chevy truck to “prove” that side saddle fuel tanks were exceptionally dangerous.

Oh, I'll watch. Know your enemy, and all of that....

I was really hoping that the national reciprocity bill would progress through under the radar, but no such luck.

Here's hoping that it passes. In fact, I hope to God that the Rs push it through on a majority and none of this 60 vote bullshit. Trump will surely sign it, and we will all reap the benefits.
