Professor Has Simple Way To Deal With Open Carry Activists(VIDEO at Link)
Professor Has Simple Way To Deal With Open Carry Activists, And Pro-Gun Businesses Aren’t Going To Like It (VIDEO)
If you’re enjoying a nice meal at a restaurant with your family and you see a man carrying an assault rifle walk in, it could be one of two things: either he’s a crazy person intent on killing someone or he’s a crazy person intent on showing his gun off in public and daring someone to ask him to leave it at home. While the NRA would say just give him the benefit of the doubt, the possibility that you could be the victim of a shooting might make you lose your appetite.
You would think that businesses wouldn’t want that kind of scenario being played out in their establishments – people afraid of dying don’t usually stay for dessert – but instead they are more concerned with upsetting the guys with guns. And for good reason. The NRA* and other pro-gun groups have demonstrated again and again, they are willing to bring down a world of pain on any business that they perceive as going soft on supporting people’s God-given right to carry machine guns wherever they go.
Consequently, there wasn’t really a good way to prevent this from happening.
Finally, a philosophy professor thinks he may have come up with a solution. Pro-gun businesses are going to hate it.
"My proposal is as follows: we should all leave. Immediately. Leave the food on the table in the restaurant. Leave the groceries in the cart, in the aisle. Stop talking or engaging in the exchange. Just leave, unceremoniously, and fast."

4. So his plan is to steal from restaurant owners and servers to make a political point
Not the stupidest thing I have read this week, but close.
And yes, if you leave without paying, that is theft. Leaving without a tip for your server isn't theft but makes you a total asshole. "The guy with a gun scared me" isn't an adequate legal defense if the person with a gun was behaving lawfully.
Lets see- open carry guys pays his bill and tips and is friendly, anti-gun activist runs out not paying for his food or leaving a tip. Whose actions are mostly likely to bring people over to their side and who is most likely to be seen as an irrational asshole?
Hopefully lots of people engaging in this stupidity get prosecuted for walking out on meals. At a minimum they are in for a fun traffic stop when the employees get their tag number and call the police to report a dine and dash.
A DUmp lawyer weighs in.

5. Private businesses can decide whether to allow guns
As an attorney, I will gladly address the "theft" thing. If the restaurant catches fire, or some other unsafe condition occurs, you are under no obligation to sit at a table and wait for a check, and you are perfectly within your rights to protect your physical safety by leaving the premises.

9. Someone open carrying a firearm is not an unsafe condition
People like you perpetuating the idea that it is an unsafe condition, or poses a threat to others is the real problem.
People who are intending to do harm don't open carry. They conceal their firearms as to not draw attention.
You understand the difference between "carry" and "brandish" right?

12. When someone feels threatened it is their right to seek safety.
And a gun in plain sight can absolutely be considered a threat.
I guess you forgot that when you called them thieves.

15. You aren't taking into account that a person could be truly scared.
I knew this is what I'm going to do if it ever happens to me. I might throw some money down on the table if I've already eaten the meal. But there are legitimate reasons to leave a restaurant, after ordering but before you've been served, and I believe this has become one of them.

16. Well by all means.
If your delicate sensibilities are scared, you should probably run away.
Living in fear is no way to live.
I guess if a clown comes in, you can leave without paying? People are "truly scared" of clowns.
Maybe if there is a spider in the restaurant? People are "truly scared" of spiders.
Maybe if there is a black man in the restaurant? After all, some people are "truly scared" of "them."
Unbelievable.
Part of being in a society is accepting that not everyone is exactly like us and learning to live together. Not being scared of everything.
In reality that would more apply to the DUmp then anywhere else.

I like the "don't pay" angle. If the business wants to call the cops, so be it. You have a perfectly good reason for evacuating the space.

31. That would be the simple solution.
If open carry would scare someone, they shouldn't patronize any establishment that allows it.
Promoting dine-and-dash is pure douchebaggery.
You expect something else from the filth you are surrounded by?

Why would they risk their sanity by shopping at a business that allowed open carry in the 1st place.
Are they just looking for a fight or place to in their own little way to say F@#& You to the business owners?
They should just boycott them to star with and there wouldn't have to worry about it at all.
-
I like it: to avoid the extraordinarily unlikely outcome of getting shot by someone carrying openly, they are glad to risk the far more likely scenario of getting tased by the po-po.
Bring it on, DUmmies.

Yeah, but that requires thinking. Here's what you get from the primitives:
Demit
17. No, I'm going to go out & let you know I don't like seeing someone with a gun.
That's not cowering in fear. That's exercising sensible caution. And exercising my right to be out wherever I want to be. Gun nuts don't own the public space.
Passive/Aggressive bravery. Yes primitive, passive/aggressive *is* a form of fear. And you are the embodiment of it.
This is another reason we conservatives know that if it comes down to it, you libs will curl up in a ball in the corner crying and begging.

Gun totter? I'm pretty sure the DUmmy meant toter as in one who totes a gun, not totter as in moving around unsteadily. The primitives like to come up with unflattering labels for gun enthusiasts like gun fetishists but I would like to see gun totter catch on.

85. Better idea:
Walk out and call 911. A few visits by the police to that restaurant in response to a citizen call will convince the owner to post the place.
When you call, tell the 911 operator that you felt threatened by the open-carry person and want to pay for your meal, but don't feel safe in the place of business. If the operator asks if the open carry person did anything threatening, just say, "I felt threatened, so I left immediately." Since you didn't pay your bill, and are in the parking lot, a patrol car will be dispatched. Ask the officer to escort you inside so you can pay your bill, since you feel threatened by the person with the gun. You don't get in any trouble, and the police will assist you in paying.
The idea is to get the cops there and inside the restaurant, while registering your sense of being threatened enough to leave suddenly. The police will get tired of such calls. The owner of the restaurant will get tired of it. Eventually, the place will get posted.

103. Or you will get arrested for false reports or misuse of 911
The dispatcher/call taker is not going to just send the police. They are going to ask you if the person is threatening people and what they are doing.
If you honestly answer and admit they are not threatening anyone you may get told it's not a crime and they won't come, or the cops may come and tell you that you can't call 911 for legal activity. And if you keep doing that after being told not to you can be arrested for misusing 911. And they won't take you seriously.
If you lie and say that they are threatening people, most places have video cameras and DVRs and it won't end well for you.
When I was a deputy we had people who moved from the city into the country and would call 911 because they heard gunshots. The dispatcher would ask if they were being shot at- no- were the people shooting in a dangerous manner- usually no or they would lie- and then if it was a slow day they would send one of us out to church after explaining that in the county shooting on private property is legal. We would drive to where someone was shooting, see they were shooting safely on private property, then go give the person who called 911 a talk on what does and does not constitute something worth dialing 911 and not to call unless there was a crime or actual unsafe act to report and that now that they live in the country hearing gunshots is just part of living here.
We had one person of the mindset of this OP and many here who thought they could stop a neighbor who had a range from shooting by dialing 911 every time. What they ended up getting was a day in court for abusing the 911 system after verbal and written notice to cut it out.
It is like arguing with infants.

I think I can ignore a professor and his opinions on firearms who doesn't know the definition of what an assault rifle is.

So, all we have to do to get the Proglodytes to flee society as a whole is to go openly strapped wherever we go.
I don't want these idiot ****tards stinking up my scenery anyway and if they get arrested for defrauding a proprietor and/or filing a false police report, so much the better.

H-5! Did you expect better from some one who doesn't realize that discussing retaliation against gun owners and those who respect their freedom disproves claims to perceive the presence of guns as a threat? Not withstanding brief thought is almost a defining characteristic of Progs' clever gotchas.

If someone comes strolling in with an actual, true 100 percent assault riffle, chances are they are a muzzie and your ass is nothing but a statistic in another muzzie terrorist attack dummy. Either that or a gang member. Either way, your ass is probably hosed.
Ordinary people pretty much do not go around open carrying legal assault riffles. At least not in eateries.
You are way too stupid to be a dummie. Waaay too stupid. Congrats!! You are now officially on the intellectual level of an ameoba. You are that stupid.

Those who would give up essential liberties to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety.
That quote is for exactly this reason. You will NEVER be safe from everything! Liberty means that sometimes shit is going to happen and you have to deal with it.
I see y'all all the time saying guns were only designed for one thing. Ok, how about cigarettes?! What the **** are THOSE for?! My health? Yet once you turn 18 you can buy all you want with no checks of any kind. And if you think the age restriction stops kids from smoking you're dumber than I thought.

Several years ago in Kennesaw, Georgia, about 4 a.m. at a waffle house, some thug decided it would be a good time to rob the place. He walked in, point his rifle and was met by at least 2 good guys with guns. He dropped his rifle (and probably a load while running out the door) and no one was robbed or hurt.
