Rattled and shaken after seeing open carry in a grocery store

[tanstaafl]

DUmb scrunt should have called 911 on the guy. That would have taught him to be such a meany and follow the law.

Seriously, I have never heard of a mass shooting occurring that starts out:

This  guy was just walking around open and legally carrying his gun in a holster and suddenly he whipped it out and started shooting people.

Until that happens, these delicate little flowers need to move to states without open carry laws.

Also, it should be noted, there was no armed robbery or mass murder occurring whilst the gentleman was in the store. She should be thanking the guy.

Poor, poor DUmmy. Still shaken after seeing (gasp) an armed citizen.

The DUmmy would have fainted dead away last Saturday at Smallville's conservative coffee shop (we have two). No less than four openly carried handguns*, and at least two concealed. That's what you get when Kansas libertarians get together for coffee.

All was calm, however. None of our eeeeeevil guns leapt from their holsters and began a shooting rampage.

That's not an MOS and nobody I ever knew would answer what's your MOS like that. Maybe I'm overreacting so what's your MOS?

94. How many open carry folks have shot anyone?

What are the stats about open carry people shooting or killing anyone in stores?

I haven't open carried since Vietnam, but open carry doesn't bother me all that much.

179. how do you know

what the intentions are? It is usually a misfit who would open carry inside a store and those are the ones most likely to start shooting people. How do you know they are not there to shoot their old girlfriend or ex-wife who works there? If someone confronts him - what is his temperament for dealing with that? Shoot the person?
Mass shootings are becoming normal and this belligerent behavior of open carry is a sign of a decline in social behavior.

My sister who was involved in a mass shooting in a mall told me she would drop everything and leave the store immediately if she saw a person wearing a weapon (other than law enforcement). Also, her first thought always is to protect the children who may be with her.

We are allowing a future of bullying with weapons to become normal and excuses paves the way.

194. Misfits.

A "misfit"? Is that a legal classification? A medical one? Tell us more about "misfits" and how we can spot them and neutralize them before they "start shooting people."

I think you'll find that people who enter an establishment to do harm either have their weapon concealed or they have it out and are using it. Element of surprise, you see.

147. That's all it takes for you to cry?

You're making way too big of a deal out of this. Did the man give any indication of his intent to harm anyone? I'd be more afraid of the killer who has it inside his jacket. Also, what good is telling the manager? My advise is not to come to Montana.

170. We should all consider a civilian in public with a gun…

to be a mass murderer. If you see one, get the hell out of the area as quickly as possible and report them to the authorities as a potential SUSPECT.

I will NEVER do business with ANYONE who allows guns on their premises. WE have to stop this insanity! Nobody else can do it.

195. What happens when 10 open carriers start shooting at each other thinking everybody else is a bad guy
 
Then the police arrive...........

Pity any bystanders in that mess.......

196. My most recent encounter with an open carry was at a Meijers store...

You really had to be there. This woman was probably in her early to mid 20's. Her holster hung several inches below her really short cut-off jeans. Not sure what she was trying to say with the outfit, other than she looked like an idiot.

Have to admit, I laughed at the whole picture...from a respectable distance, of course. Wouldn't want to be one of those "stand your ground" victims.

221. Would your response be different if the man was a police officer?

Would your response be different if the man was Police Officer Johannes Mehserle, Officer Jason Porter, Officer Mark Slager, or Officer Darren Wilson? Or the dozen plus police officers needlessly killing family dogs (even a Chihuahua) during "no knock" drug raids on wrong addresses in the last few years.

My point is you seem to be okay with police officers carrying firearms, but there were massive protests surrounding the firearm-related deaths caused by each of the named police officers (sadly no one protests over dead pets).

If we are going to disarm people, we must start with government agents at all levels who are protected from being held accountable for irresponsible shootings by qualified immunity and the "thin blue line" mentality.

A history lesson for lurking DUmmies. Nathan Bedford Forrest was a DEMOCRAT who started the KKK to keep freed blacks down.

55. Another vet here, & you speak for me excellently. J'ever notice how the gunnutters are chickenhawks

Another vet here, and I've not noticed "gunnutters" being "chickenhawks", but I have noticed a lot of "tolerant democrats" wishing imprisonment or death upon anyone who is legally exercising their civil rights by the hands of the government.

"J'ever" stop to think about that, DUmbass?  "J'ever" notice that?

Incidentally, ****, I'm honorably retired Navy and I open carry quite frequently.  Care to give me that "chickenhawk" bullshit?  Or is it just a mantra to make yourself "feel" better?

Their perfect poster boy is John WAYNE the draft dodger and actor of fantasy life.

Oy vey...  Here, DUmbass, let me clue you in:

America's entry into World War II resulted in a deluge of support for the war effort from all sectors of society, and Hollywood was no exception. Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34 at the time of Pearl Harbor) and family status, classified as 3-A (family deferment). He repeatedly wrote John Ford saying he wanted to enlist, on one occasion inquiring whether he could get into Ford's military unit, but consistently kept postponing it until after "he finished just one or two pictures".[4]:212 Wayne did not attempt to prevent his reclassification as 1-A (draft eligible), but Republic Studios was emphatically resistant to losing him; Herbert J. Yates, President of Republic, threatened Wayne with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract,[4]:220 and Republic Pictures intervened in the Selective Service process, requesting Wayne's further deferment.[4]:213

Wow, that took all of two seconds to find.   

Why don't they go fight ISIS instead of patrolling J.C.Pennys with AK-47s?!1

In case you haven't been paying attention, ISIS is here and they're killing people in "safe" spaces.  I would rather have 1 "gunnutter" than a room full of unarmed democrats any time Johnny Jihad shows up to collect on his martyrdom.

But, I don't expect a DUmmie to understand something as simple as "hard target" and "deterrence".

Why don't you practice dropping to your knees and frantically  sucking cock, DUmbass, in the hopes it will keep you alive?

I'll stick with my personal survival plan- the triad of Willl, Skill, and Tools.

I'm not worried about ISIS. My attention is focused on criminals, gangbangers, Black Lies Matter social injustice warriors, and unhinged Democrats who self-medicate- any of whom may be found in cities and towns (just like Smallville) all across the country.

Gnads --->. "fist to cuffs" 

There's the "slap on the wrist", and then there's the "ass-forkin'". Somewhere in between lies the "fist to cuffs".

Hey, don't make fun of Gnads. She's a journalist, reporter, editor, photographer and all around good writer. Axe her.

[CollectivismMustDie]

I've got a plan for all these wilting flowers to get over their fear of Americans exercising their rights. Any time they see someone open carrying, they just need to tell themselves it's a "Syrian widow" or "Orphan" and all their fears should melt away. King Putt has assured them there is nothing to fear from them.

Better yet: They need to tell themselves that the person carrying identifies as a "Syrian widow" or "Orphan".

I'm an Army veteran. I've been around guns for much of my life. My husband is a hunter. We have a hunting rifle in the house. I'm not a woman that rattles easy, but this shook me to my core and I'm still quite upset.

Really? You were in the Army? Let me guess, your MOS was MI, or commo, or supply.  DEFINITELY not anything resembling combat arms. My GOD you are a @#$%&, probably ELS'd for your "feelings"  being hurt one time too many, or you got pregnant to get out of a deployment. 

Long story short, the only army I think you may have been in would be this one:



And even THAT is a stretch.
