DUmmies, I have a bit of wisdom I want to share with you:
Back in July, your self appointed Moses (Dirty FReeper Mineral Man) decided that if he were to spot anyone daring to lawfully open carry a firearm into a store, he would call 911 and report them. This is something you brainless twats have discussed before - calling the cops, diving onto the floor and going into hysterics, "SWATing" someone, etc. Hell, one of you lortab snorters actually suggested that it would be a good idea to sneak up behind a citizen and just take their firearm out of their holster.
Now, I know this sounds like a good idea, even DUmmie Mineral Man is convinced his "serious demeanor" would have the cops running right to him to.... You know what, why don't we let the progtard's words speak for themselves:

4. I don't know. My first response, though,
to seeing someone doing open carry in some place like Target is going to be to call 911. When the operator answers, I'll provide my name and location and say that there is an openly armed man or armed men at that location and that I'm very concerned for my safety and for the safety of others.
I will expect a squad car to show up, too. Frankly, I think everyone should adopt that response as a personal policy. Armed subject calls should always receive a police response, since nobody is qualified to know whether they are there with peaceful or dangerous intent. If asked for a description, I will give one. If asked for the race of the carrier, I will ask why that matters and request an ETA for the squad to arrive.
I guarantee that I will call. And I'm a older white man with a very serious demeanor in such cases. The police will respond if I call.

8. You know what? I don't give a damn.
If I see someone armed in a place like a business or public place, I'm making the call. They can explain their Second Amendment rights to the cops. How's that?

19. The thing is that I and most other people are not competent
The Police can figure it out, as far as I'm concerned.
And if I call, they will come. I'm very good at getting things done.

58. I can see the potential for it being a dangerous situation, since we've had
ample evidence of that in recent history. Since I have no way to tell what's on the minds of the people carrying the firearms, I have to exercise caution and inform the authorities, just in case there is bad intent involved. I'm not competent to judge people's motivations in a situation where I don't know the people involved.
Better safe than sorry, as the saying goes. If the folks are just carrying because of their right to do so, I'm sure the police officers will be able to ascertain that after questioning them.
I say, let the police sort things out. They're trained in such things.

28. The funny thing is that some people make the assumption that
a guy carrying a semi-auto rifle into a place like Target or some restaurant are automatically just guys exercising their 2nd Amendment rights?
Why shouldn't I assume that such is the motivation for some moron carrying a semi-auto rifle into a public building. If the intent is harmless, I'm sure the police can determine that after talking to the armed people. I'm sure as hell not going to confront them, since I'm not armed, myself.
Screw it! Call 911 and let the experts sort it out. That's my call.

15. No, I'm not going to make it an OP.
People will do what they think best. For me, it's going to be a call to 911 if I see open carry morons in places like Target, public parks and the like. The nice police officers can sort out whether the carriers are peaceable or dangerous. I'm incompetent to do that, and I'm not going to confront someone with a firearm.

21. If the police come, management will figure it out
pretty quickly. They don't want the police coming into their store and confronting armed people, either. Just call 911 and report a man with a loaded gun where you are and ask them to please hurry. Tell them you're worried about a mass shooting. They'll come. I guarantee it.

23. If you see something, say something.
If you are sincere about it in your call to 911, they'll come. I guarantee it. And give your name when you call. They won't share it with the armed people, but it helps to make them take your call seriously.

60. It depends, I think. I'm good at communicating.
"What is he doing?" "He seems to be looking around in a furtive manner. He looks nervous."
Knowing what will trigger a response lets a person say the right thing to get a response, without saying anything that is untrue.
In any case, I'd make the call and do my best.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025211932DUmmies, what you haven't been told is that all of the above falls into the realm of filing a false report which can get your DUmb asses charged. We don't call your board Moses "Rockhead" for nothing...
Now, I told you all of this to show you something really cool - like when a DUmbass decides to take Rockhead's advice and kick it up a notch:
Man arrested after tackling shopper carrying gun
Posted: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 5:25 PM EST Updated: Tuesday, January 20, 2015 8:13 PM EST
By: FOX 13 Tampa Bay Staff
RIVERVIEW (FOX 13) - Hillsborough deputies arrested a man who spotted someone with a gun, followed him into a Walmart, and tackled him. The problem? The man with the gun had a concealed weapons permit, and the man who rushed him didn't call 911 or alert store security.
According to the sheriff's office, Michael Foster, 43, saw Clarence Daniels, 62, in the Walmart parking lot with a gun holstered under his coat.
Foster followed Daniels into the store, put him in a choke-hold and brought him to the ground, the sheriff's office said. He then started yelling that Daniels had a gun.
A struggle ensued, with Daniels yelling that he had a permit. Security detained both men until deputies arrived.
They confirmed Daniels had a permit for the gun, and arrested Foster.
He is charged with one count of battery.
http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/27896784/man-spots-gun-then-tackles-concealed-carry-license-holderNow, do yourselves a favor and leave the CCW people alone. Mr Foster is very lucky that Mr Daniels is almost two decades his senior and not as fast as he probably once was. Otherwise, there'd be a another dead DUmmie in Florida that committed suicide by trying to disarm a law abiding citizen.
No need to thank me, retards, just pay it forward...
