I know you gun worshippers think it's perfectly fine but there are many reasonable people who do not and would prefer to avoid someone who felt the need to bring a gun to such an inappropriate place for one and would be quite happy to get the warning and know to stay away from him.
again just because the gun grabbers wet their panties every time they see a gun because they are scared of them, doesnt mean everyone has to be sacred of guns. i dont fear them, and i have had one pointed at me in anger in a robbery. i have been around people openly carrying guns for 58 years, and as i have noted before, many were real bikers. its not the gun, and its not the people who carry them safely that are the problem.

once again the guy in the story was not doing anything but carrying the gun in its holster. he wasnt playing with it, he wasnt letting anyone else play with it, he wasnt pointing at anyone, or anything else like that. all he was doing was minding his own business and playing with his kids. and to you wet panty gun grabbers, that is somehow suspicious by its very nature.

little miss nosy nancy should have just minded her own business since the guy was doing nothing wrong.

now had he been brandishing his gun, pulling it out of the holster, and putting it back, then she would have had good reason to call the cops, and i would have applauded her for it.

There is no burn, other than for those who can't figure out the difference between wardrobe and behavior.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna' do. The next time I see a black man wearing a t-shirt that I deem to be threatening I'm gonna' call the cops whether he's armed or not. Or how about all of those scary looking individuals that cover their bodies with tattoos. Fair enough?

Not too long ago one of those individuals entered our local supermarket, his face and head was tattooed to look like a skull with blood dripping from the corner of it's mouth, his arms had tattoos of daggers with blood dripping from them too. Shaved head, neck tattoos, the works. He was the center of attention that's for sure. People kept their distance from him, he scared the living' sh*t outta' my wife. Something was definitely not right upstairs. I'd never seen anything like it in my life. However he wasn't bothering anyone other than by his appearance and yet no one called the cops.
I already said it doesn’t matter what race the person is, if she thought this guy was a threat, she is within her right to call the police.

What’s been pointed out multiple times is if this was a black man, this wouldn’t be a thread and none of you would care.

READ next time.

I don’t care what you do, to be honest. Call the cops on whomever you want. *shrugs*

See how that works?

Coming from someone who doesn't understand how a comma works when tying two statements together and believes that the shirt was stating a threat...

The only panty wetters I see are the gun worshippers who can't stand the fact that not everyone else loves guns and don't want them forced into their faces every where they go. Get over it, far more people don't own guns than do.

Going to the park with a T-shirt is wardrobe.
Walking in with pants is a behavior


If you fool yourself with that bull****, so be it.
You don't fool any reasonable person.

Lol. What does your perceived usages of my punctuation ( ) have to do with you getting called out, followed by your sad attempt at backpedaling? Lol.


Please point out where I said this guy’s shirt was “stating a threat”. Direct quote, please.

Based on the article, the guy was minding his own business and not forcing the woman to do anything. If she didn't feel comfortable around a guy with a gun then she could leave.

As someone who carries concealed all of the time, I keep an eye out for others who carry. If I'm out with my wife, I'll ask her if she can find the guy with the gun. After she jokingly points to me, rarely can she find him even when the guy is open carrying. I've seen open carry in department stores, grocery stores and even waiting in line during "black Friday" sales. A bunch of us just waited in line and talked. No one either noticed (kind of hard since he was within inches of others) or they didn't care.

How do you react when you see a police officer? Do you react the same way? They have no business being in a park with their kids, or at the grocery store buying groceries, on in line at the bank to deposit a check?


If the answer to any of these questions is NO you have no issue with the police officer, like almost every single person in this country does not have a problem with the police officer, then you have a problem with a person who is not in a uniform having a weapon; the civilian gun owner.


The only difference between the civilian gun owner, and the police officer is the uniform, and the degree of training. Now weather this story is true and actually happened, or was made up, it still raises the very question that everyone is complaining about one way or the other.


Open caring of a firearm is legal in over 40 states, like it or not it is legal. If you don't like the open carry laws, have your legislature change the laws to only allow concealed carry. At that point you would never know if someone is caring gun or not.


You see a civilian gun owner open caring as a threat to you, and feel as if that person some how is violating your rights. The civilian gun own, who is legally opening caring, feels they are not violating the law, and just want to be left alone.


The actions while caring a firearm that will get someone landed in jail, brandishing the firearm taking it out of it's holster and waving it around, negligent discharge of a firearm, shooting it by mistake along with a multitude of other infractions are cause for alarm. And any of those real causes for alarm most defiantly should have the police called.
