WTF - If you feel the need to carry 3 handguns at one time to go to the grocery store you are living in the wrong neighborhood.

If you feel you need to cause trouble in a store where people carry 3 handguns, you’re in the wrong neighborhood…

Alot of scenarios I suppose.
Local State park where people go to WALK their dogs a dude was strutting an AR across his chest. Legal? Yes.
But in my mind an annoying act of intimidation and a desire to make people uneasy.

College bars have always made me question my stance on concealed carry

Is a college bar different than a regular bar? Just asking cause I don't go to bars. I do carry a gun though. mtmuley

To be fair, that’s from End of Watch (excellent movie). But I’m sure someone is strutting around with a blinged out 1911 and a gold AK.

Saddam had a bunch. Couldn't find a picture with him and a gold gun though. https://www.wired.com/2007/10/best-war-booty/

Know how I know you've never been to Houston?

You’re probably being comical, but: I’ve been to Houston, lived in Dallas, lived in Fort Worth, live in San Antonio, grew up in Detroit. I have never felt the need to carry a firearm.

How long did it take you to find that?

The Google pulls up tons of studies showing states with lax gun laws have more shootings.

Like study after study after study...as if it isnt obvious why Canadians hardly ever shoot each other.

My family that's served in pretty much every capacity of civil service would disagree. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, police, and fire all feel that just because we don't like you burning a flag doesn't mean we didn't stand up for your right to do it occasionally.

Doesn't make it appropriate. Just like the guy with the three gun open carry. Having the right, doesn't make it appropriate every where.

Great thing about this country is everyone has the right to be stupid if they want to be. Would be a lot less of it if people had to bare the results of stupid instead of spreading it around so much.

Thought about this while eating supper and got curious:

Does anyone know of an instance where there was an accident or mishap of any kind involving someone that was legally open carrying in public?

A who is the good guy and who is the bad guy situation? Accidental shooting? Gun taken and used against the person open carrying? Anything of that sort?

I did a google search and didn't come up with anything.

I did find this article from here at home:

Baton Rouge police shooting brings renewed attention to Louisiana's 'open carry' rights

A state lawmaker dropped his firearm inside the Capitol while hurrying to a vote

State Rep. Richard Holtorf's handgun did not discharge and no one was injured. But witnesses told CPR News the incident was “reckless and scary,” and the House Speaker said it was “unacceptable.”

Because that doesn't completely defeat the purpose...

Idk, having a hawt weapon riding that close to my toned leg all day everyday just sounds like it’s statistically a bad idea.

Wish all my family who served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, police, Sheriff department, Coast Guard and National Guard were all still alive so I could survey them. Never even thought to ask them their opinion of Firedudes while they were.

I see open carry all the time here in Indiana it is no big deal. Walmart, grocery, restaurants, parks and gas stations. Not saying it is common depending on what you call common but I'll see 2 or three on a trip to town for groceries, Walmart and dinner.

Nothing picture worthy. Just normal everyday people, with a gun on.

The ones who strike me as funny are the gun forum enthusiast asking about the state parks and insisting they need their "protection" because of snakes. LOL.

Dark humor, there’s nothing comical about Houston’s violent crime rate.

FIFY

The guy is obviously an amateur gun fighter. I’ve been running this number in case all 4 of the guns on me jam or I expend all of my ammo fighting a massive gang. Comes in handy for making PB&J sandwiches too.

 

[Sytes]

That's awesome! Haha!

Place a picatinny hand grip design over the barrel and use it as a hammer? Haha!

Ummm, there is a huge difference between deadly weapons and yoga pants.

Idiot remarks like this are super great for your cause though. Makes you look real stupid.

I'm shocked! You have an opinion that differs from my opinion on an internet forum! Holy horse chit!
