He’s just provoking a reaction. Obvious an attention starved person looking for 15 minutes of fame.
Airsoft?
Provoking a reaction? Yeah, the reaction should be, “Thank God there’s someone nearby who could react if another shooter went traipsing through this mall.”
Fact is, millions of people, myself included, carry firearms concealed from view for personal protection and would have absolutely no problem using them in defense of self or others. This gentleman decided to openly carry his arms, a right which no one can deny him, and he peaceably went about his business.
If open-carry ever passes in Florida, my wife and I intend to go about our lawful business, shopping, groceries, even getting mani/pedis with our rifles slung across our backs and pistols on our hips. We’re PROUD to be gun owners and to be law-abiding citizens.
This limp-wristed BS about “oh, this is a stranger, I don’t know his mental state and he’s got an assault weapon” has GOT TO STOP. There are millions of law enforcement officers around this country, and there’s no way every single one of them is mentally perfect. I personally know a handful who juice (roids) and have TERRIBLE anger management issues, but no one thinks twice about calling them for safety.
This needs to be normalized the same way that the left tries to normalize homosexuality and gay marriage. THIS IS OUR FIGHT TO WIN! The right to self-defense and arms is affirmed in the Second amendment, and we should NOT be afraid to exercise it EVER!
“He’s just provoking a reaction.”
Good. All those who are offended can go F’themselves.
Horse sh**! This was common practice when I was a boy and a young man. Things started changing and gradually became worse after Kennedy and his idiot brother were killed. No one batted an eye back in the 40s, 50s and early 60s when someone carried a rifle or handgun around in public. In fact many stopped and talked to him/her about the gun. This needs to become normal once more. There is nothing wrong with it at all, except for the brain washing the MSM and public education has subjected the public to over the last 50 or so years.
Judging by your comment you have allowed yourself to become infected with the PC BS of the left against guns.
