Was at the mall a while today. I saw two people with open carry
pistols. One was a man with a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt and a "III" tattoo on his arm. The other a women dressed in
black wearing a black belt with several magazines and a "**** your feelings" shirt. They weren't together. Security
was nowhere to be seen.

Why would security need to be alerted, DUmb-ass?

and many have to just feel fear, horror, shock or any number of emotions and put up with it.
It is oppressive and terribly sad.
I also think it is Saturday night date night. Maybe they got lucky to find each other.

All open carry states. I’ve seen open carry many, many times. And never been the least concerned about it. Not sure why anyone gets so wound up about someone doing something that is perfectly legal in the vast majority of states.

can't carry any weapons all they can do is call the sheriff. Who is going to put their life on
the line for minimum wage and they aren't in any kind of shape to fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
At least i haven't seen anyone with an AR 15 yet. I see your favorite topic is Guns.

And I still don’t get worried about it. Maybe they are law enforcement? Maybe not, but they aren’t breaking the law.

innocent person than get the other "bad guy". "Good guys" don't go around advertising their hate mongering. Good guys don't show off.
One can always call security and report you saw someone with a gun and where they were in the mall then hang up and leave (before the police arrive to stop people from leaving) and let them handle it. After all, you know they have dangerous weapons and you don't know why.

I have never seen a person of color open carry. Just saying, it's probably a coincidence, right??

Black folks and women are buying more guns than any other demographic, but stick with your comfortable narrative.

1. Two people independently publicly rejecting Prog hoplophobia! Horrifying! How dare they!!!
2. IRL, Security were watching everything via camera.
3. IRL, Security people know that open carry is legal in their state.

A lot of stupidity and projection in that thread.
I don’t get the III tattoo.

Racist. I know a lot of black folk who carry. Mexicans too! None of them scare me and I’m not surprised by it. We are Texans!
Where does this Lily white poster live, I wonder.

I haven't swum over to DU, but found this wrt the "III" tattoo, https://krististephens.com/tattoo/iii-tattoo-meaning/ :
--- Quote ---The ‘III” tattoo is one of the most popular tattoo designs in recent years. It is seen as a sign of strength, resilience, and courage. It is also a symbol of family and the strength between family members.
The ‘III tattoo’ is a representation the number 3, which is an important and meaningful number for many cultures. In Christianity, the Holy Trinity is represented by the number 3. This is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Judaism it is associated with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the three patriarchs. In Hinduism the number three is connected to the three gods Brahma Vishnu and Shiva.
The III tattoo meaning is also a symbol of safety. In many cultures, three is a protective number. It is believed to ward of evil and bring luck. It is also used to remind people of the importance of family, and the bond that exists between family members.
The meaning of the III tattoo is also a symbol for strength and resilience. It reminds us that we can always find the strength and courage to continue on, no matter how hard life gets. It is a gentle reminder that we can always count on our friends and family for support and guidance.

That website is slo-o-owww to load. It may be from a tattoo artist. According to that writer, the tattoo has been used since at least Roman times. Trump isn't that old, :rotf: :tongue: . So the tattoo isn't the Trumpista Gang-Sign some DUpipo probably seek.
