It was the gun's fault.

That makes everything better.

Cavalier, all your posts where you copy and paste the article are illegible. Every single one of them. White fonts on a white background just doesn't work.

If you just copy and paste without changing the color, everyone could read it no matter if they are on dark or light theme.

This is why I'm against open carry in public. Not because of a rights issue but because of a tactical issue.

But it should be a choice, although i agree its not tactically smart to oc in most places.

And this article shows the true nature of a liberal. They do not trust themselves with guns because they would use it over something completely pointless such as fighting over a parking spot (to quote Hillary Clinton herself), and in this case the simple sight of the gun was enough to make this guy shoot someone else. Liberals think everybody feels the way they do , that is why they don't trust the common public to carry guns.

Basically, they are impulsive, illogical, irrational, morons.

He should be charged with atempted murder also.

I am against infringements, as in people's opinions, feelings and fears don't impact my rights.
I Open carried for years never had an issue. Just because you open carry doesn't relieve you the responsibility to be situationally aware.

It is called projection and it is a sign of mental illness.

We've been through this before. You don't do many activities that would not be conducive no matter how aware you think you are.

Example, dance clubs, baseball games, rock concerts, ect.

You are correct, I do not put myself in situations where I would be vulnerable to sensory overload. However, just being in public still requires quite a bit of situational awareness.

@Willjr75 I disagree on OC in public. Open carry should be a choice. Obviously making the open carry choice places a new burden of responsibility on the carrier. Along those lines one also needs to be cognizant of what he/she will be doing and where you will be doing it. It also brings the need of a higher degree of awareness since you are showing everyone that you carry and you need to be ready for any mal-intentions.

I always carry concealed since that is all I can in this great state of ours. I dont like or ever let anyone ever stand directly behind me within arms reach unless its my girl friend, kids or other family member. I never sit and or stand with my back facing the door or general public. You will always see me standing in front of something that another individual cant get between.

You need to remember that the majority of the public does not want you to carry and it makes them uncomfortable knowing that you do.

That idiot should have the book thrown at him.

This infuriates me, if only there was another concealed carrier around that dropped him were he stood.

"Mr. Smith is very lucky that he’s not facing additional charges for robbery and attempted murder"
Why isn't he, probably knows someone special

Celt · Oct 17, 2016

To piggy back what others have said, why isnt this guy facing attempted murder charges? Wtf!

I think you may have to reread my post again. I never once mentioned anything regarding legality.

Last time I open carried daily was in the 90s in AZ this was before they legalized concealed carry. I used to take my kid to the Mc Donald's to play at the play place. You could always tell who the newly assigned people were, they would whisper something about the guy with the gun sitting over there. Ft Huachuca has a gang problem it may be a lot worse now then it was back then but, it still had gang issues when I was stationed there. Most of the mothers were happy to see a man with a gun watching over his kid and theirs by extension. I have been to a monster truck show while open carrying and I was not the only one there OCing it was probably the safest monster truck rally in the USA.

Open carry works well to keep the vermin away. Used to be concealed carry was looked down upon as those who concealed were cowards and would attack sneakally. Only criminals and cowards carried concealed in the 50-80s. I got my first CC permit in the late 80s when Oregon began issuing CC permits. I have carried both open and concealed. I prefer to carry open and do it when I am in a state where I can even if they recognize my NY or PA carry Cards.

Exactly, if it was one of us and the gun slipped out of the holster and hit the floor went off and struck someone we would be behind bars for a while.

dsdmmat · Oct 17, 2016

The typical double standard. I think I would be suing the jackass in civil court for millions of dollars, just to ensure he never lives above the poverty line.

Marine Cpl · Oct 17, 2016

So when you open carry at McDonald's, do you wait for the line to be totally empty before you order?

Nope.

Both open and concealed carry of handguns are legal in Kansas....He appears to have simply done a poor job of concealing his handgun. (From the article)

Maybe he was not trying to conceal the damn thing.

The aggressor should be in the morgue. Steal my gun, things will not be good.

So true I believe, but maybe because we come from a jailed suppressed gun hating state. Whereas Overland KS has been Open carry for 5 years and need no permits for Conceal carry or most anything, so it's a good chance even your example would be a smack on the wrist and not life behind bars like NY would.

GOPerfect · Oct 17, 2016

OC or CC; should be decided by the individual.

Me, I prefer to Open Carry. I am well trained and can handle my own. I do not the Government to tell me how I should or shouldn't carry my freaken gun!!!

Then I could disarm you no matter how aware you may think you are. While I'm waiting in line behind you playing with my phone and looking at the menu like any casual guy would be doing, a blackjack to the back of your head and it's mine.

Yeah maybe but, it never happened. I typically don't let people get within arms length of me even from behind. Then again You could also fly if you had wings. So let's not play what if or shoulda, coulda, woulda.

I am guessing you are referring to my opening statement. I as well was not referring to legality. But actual choice being for tactical or any other reason.

The choice to OC should be made because the individual is comfortable with it. And not because of any tactical reason.

Sorry I have to dispute this pot t also. With some training and experience one can spot a lot of concealed carries. Once spotted they can remove the gun from your person just as easily as open carry. The only advantage concealed carry is hoping the bad guy doesn't realize your armed.

Right I could teleport too but the point is you cannot stop me unless you stand backwards in line and continually tell me to keep an arm's distance.

That's my point. It's rare but it happens. An off duty cop working security and open carrying got robbed of his gun not too recently.
