Stopping him from making a fool of himself I daresay is a power even you do not possess.
Yep. When Missouri decided that any idiot who bought a bang-bang could openly wear it around in public, with no training/qualification/safety instruction, that was then when I decided that if I am in *any* public space and one of those morons comes in, I'll walk out the door and never patronize/visit that place again. I would have let the manager know, as well, and posted it in a Google review for good measure.
If our legislators won't do what is needed to protect us from these morons, then we'll do it ourselves with our wallets.
I agree with that. If you have a job or live in an unsafe area, it only makes sense to get a CCW license -- and the training involved -- and keep yourself safe. Open carry is just an invitation to being scorned, feared, laughed at, or best of all -- relieved of your bang-bang.
I'm not in the least ashamed. There is nothing wrong with taking a CCW class, qualifying, and receiving a license to carry a concealed firearm. My late husband was one of the first ppl in our rural county to do so once Missouri legalized CCW. He wanted it because he had a severe heart condition and worried that he might be seen as a victim, even though we lived in a pretty crime-free area exc. for the meth-heads and cookers. Having the CCW meant that you could keep your firearm in your vehicle, although at that time it was supposed to be unloaded. After he passed and I finally was able to drive his truck again, I found his Taurus .357 revolver.... loaded.... in the driver door pocket. I'm glad he never had reason to use it other than to pop tin cans.
This thread is about open carry, and that is what my comment was addressing. People who truly have a reason to be concerned about being a crime victim -- like we women -- don't need to flaunt that we are armed.
Where in the US Constitution does it say only LE has the right to carry a gun?
And a deputy dog is just like any other dog with special training.
Go back and answer my question then. Because Dumber is lying and not worth my time for now.
Stop talking about yourself, no one cares

Lol you prove how dumb you are every time that you post.
The real point is he never had to use it. The world is dangerous on TV and in movies. You don't need to be walking around waiting to fight rogue motorcycle gangs.
Oh, oh, so that"s gonna really hurt that "public space"? And you're gonna protect yourselves with your wallets?
So you're gonna boycott, cry to the manager and post it on social media because you were "offended" by someone,
who in my state, is obeying the law? And yet you're quick to criticize those who would boycott a restaurant because
a family was harassed to the point they had to leave just because of the hatred of their employer? Hypocrisy anyone?
PA has a law that unless you possess a concealed carry permit, when carrying a handgun, it must be must be openly displayed and unloaded.
Before I got my driver's license, I'd holster a S&W K.38 and walk down through town to the dump to shoot rats. Rats are great target practice.
Not once did anyone run/cry/complain/shit themselves or boycott the street I walked down. Even when the cops passed by, they just waved.
You whining "offended" liberals have made much of the (mostly liberal/progressive/socialist) public scared shitless of anyone carrying a firearm.
Yeah, yeah, I know, someone being harassed to the point of having to leave a restaurant isn't as "intimidating" as someone openly carrying a
firearm, yet the probability of them using it criminally is just about zero-point-shit. Boycott all you want, I doubt anyone really gives a shit.
You know this from personal experience? Well, at least you won't choke on gun owners...

It works everywhere else in the world, kid. You got some special disease?
The question is senseless. It was rhetorical and with your next post any reasoning in it was circular. You asked a rhetorical why cops have weapons.
That does not support your right to a weapon as cops are not civilians (and presumably you are), they are officers of the state or federal govt performing law and order work. Then you asked where does it say civilians can't pack, and of course we both know the only reference to weapons is the 2nd.
You are accomplishing nothing with that because silence in the constitution does not preclude the state from passing to laws on a subject. If the constitution was silent about
your right to eat ice cream that doesn't stop the state from passing any damn law it wants against it. So what the fuck are you talking about? And if you are not talking
about the second amendment which I must assume because you would have said so if you were, then you just made the ice cream argument, and that fucking dumb.
Are you stupid? Do you want me to think you are stupid? If so, stop being stupid.

We're happy to know that your city is safe from rats because of your sharpshooting skillz. They must be pretty lenient about the discharge of firearms in city limits; in most places shooting rats at the city dump would get you in a lot of trouble.
As for the "probability of them using it criminally" (regarding someone openly displaying their bang-bang at a restaurant, store, school, church, etc.) -- just how does the average customer KNOW the intent of the person carrying it? Did he come in to take out some customers ala El Paso, the Pulse nightclub, Parkland h.s.? Or is he just another customer, albeit one who's very insecure and/or wants all the other men to know he's Rambo (as EE put it so eloquently)?
Wouldn't that be ironic if two of our AR-packing patriots came around a corner at Walmart, saw that the other one was armed, and they fragged each other? Hopefully there wouldn't be any collateral damage.

For combat?
No dumb ass all eventualities. Let me guess when you walk or drive down the street you pay no attention to what is going on around you. Yep it's idiots like you that get killed every day be it a shooting car accident or other mishap.
