it just goes to show that if this man would have been wearing a military uniform, or has a cop uniform on that nobody would have thought twice about it. but it is all of a sudden dangerous when a private citizen does it.
how idiotic an attitude to have.
A man wearing a uniform or a cop would never openly display his guns like that. Only idiots and attention whores would carry an AR15 into a store after all the tragedies that have happened recently. It's called being respectful and responsible, something many on here have forgotten.
Some of the responses on this thread are incredible.
This attention-seeking lunatic wants to make a point about 2nd amendment rights and in the meanwhile frighten a lot of innocent shoppers. If you were a shopper, how would anyone know he is not the next mass shooter? All of you saying with false bravado good for him, you would have been peeing your pants and fleeing if you had seen him coming your way in the store.
He's lucky he didn't cause a mad rush for the exits so that someone didn't get injured, or get shot to death by another shopper thinking they'd prevent another 26 deaths.
Total fool.
Exactly, it is only a matter of time before some idiot walks into the mall or store carrying an AR15 and another shopper hoping for glory see's him and shoots him.

It's totally racist as well. They will never admit that. Had a black person wearing a hoodie, or a Arab person wearing robe and sandals done this, in Utah, they would have been surrounded by a swat team, and taken to the ground. It's a symbol of white power to these guys to strap on weapons and parade around.
]Whether it's legal or not doesn't change a damn thing. It's still just as threatening and just as nutty.[/b]
It's perfectly legal for someone to go to sit on the bench by the local daycare or elementary school all day every day and just stare at the kids (hell, it'd even be legal to do so while holding an AR15 and 500 rounds of ammo). Yet I'd find that nutty and threatening, and I'd call the cops.
It's perfectly legal for somebody to come and walk past my house on the sidewalk every 10 minutes all night while stopping to try and peer through my windows. Yet I'd find that nutty and threatening, and I'd call the cops.
Physically respond how? Rushing him? Trying a snatch and grab? What kind of moron would physically respond to someone openly carrying?
Oh, wait! That's the point!!!
Dumb lefties!
If more people openly carried, before long nobody would notice.
Um, this "dumb lefty" is actually a righty. Nice try, though.
Physically respond by perhaps challenging them with their much more subtle, concealed weapon that they carry for self-defense and in the event of something such as this! To defend themselves against a nutjob in a public place, whose intentions they don't know. Especially when everyone's sensitivity is heightened a freakin' MONTH after a terrible massacre in public.
Sure they do! By voting for the GOP more than any other State!
The party that allows the President to go to war on his say so alone (at least a minority of Dems stood up to him) , the party that allow the President to put US citizen on a kill list on his says so alone, the party that voted in greater number for the renewal of the FISA act, the party that wants to compel prayer in public schools using government resources, the party that wants to tell pregnant women they can't get an abortion.
Yea those Ute's are great on the Constitution......LOL
