Man open carrying a pistol in AutoZone in her back pocket gets his gun taken and shot

[Saltwater60]

This is truly astonishing at how poorly planned this was by the person open carrying this gun. Literally everything is wrong

Open Carrier Killed w/ Own Gun at Autozone

By now you’ve probably seen the headlines. A man open carrying inside an AutoZone was shot and killed with his own gun—ripped off him by some unstable lunatic acting erratically.

Hey Salt, you need to change your topic title. The article says it was a man , not a woman.

Looked like a fat woman in the video.

I'm not going to victim shame.
If you open carry be 100% switched on or don't open carry. Criminals are going to criminal.

see; If there were no gun laws then no one would be stealing guns because they could

just go buy one with no govt permission or forms to fill out

How far back on the evolutionary timeline do you need to be that merely witnessing an object evokes a violent, primitive response?

Maybe self control is a product of creation. I think the people on this earth came to be via two separate and very distinct paths.

I love the idea of open carry. But for me it draws way too much attention.

Go 'out west' ( Arizona, South Dakoda --- ) and everyone is open carrying. Although, because of the Mexifornia invasion, it's becoming less noticeable because~~~~civilized.

When I open carry, it's either with my OTW retention holster, or I carry in a cross draw so I have better control. But, UNLIKE a lot of people in public, I'm at condition YELLOW, any time I'm in a crowd or in public. If it gets real crowded I will drift between Yellow and Orange while everyone else is looking at their feet or their cell phone.

The other thing that I will do if I see a possible threat. I WILL STARE at them. My wife says that's stupid and I'm "challenging" them. Maybe, but one thing is for sure, 'they' know I see them and that I am well aware of their presence. Their element of surprise is gone.

Open carry is a political statement.

Like wearing a MAGA hat, you are sacrificing a little safety to make that statement.

You need to be cognizant of that fact the entire time you do it.

It has always made me wonder about the political mind set of the people that demand these onerous laws, like this shit hole that demands concealed cary, yet other states demand the jumping through intrusive hoops to be a privileged concealed carrier. Personally I have never felt a need, or even a desire to open carry, and always thought it should be the individuals choice in a free and open society with constitutional backing.
I guess we don't live there anymore.
