I told Walmart to take their stinking ammo shelves and remove them from the store. No sense having shelves with nothing in them and it’s been that way for quite some time.

Everyone who has a long gun should carry it all the time. That would put some folks panties in a knot, but so what? What people post on FR makes many people uncomfortable. So what? Freedom makes many uncomfortable.

I'm sorry.
I thought you said, "It is not unlawful to carry a long gun in the open."
I guess I need to get some sleep.

[Dead Corpse]

Actually, it’s not a lie.

PC 46.02. Open carry of long guns is legal as long as you aren’t running around pointing them at folks.

[Dead Corpse]

Yep.

Not me. My “default” setting is for freedom.

[JRandomFreeper]

You don't need sleep. You can get coffee IV's now. ;)

If I spotted a guy in my Walmart with an AR, I would have my hand on my Ruger.
There’s no reason for anyone to take his carbine into a store full of civilians.
Think about this: What point was he trying to make? It was stupid.

[Las Vegas Ron]

OMG... Our Rights scare the sheep.

Yes, unfortunately it does. It's a sad fact.

This guy is putting himself on a position of having cops show up and getting executed.

Ask Erik Scott's family, they know first hand.

Until we can change the attitudes of people, we have to face reality. As of now, concealed carry is preferable.

[JRandomFreeper]

No-one NEEDS to have freedom of speech, religion, etc... either.

Refer to comment #24.

[Yosemitest]

Thanks, but sleep works better.

[BipolarBob]

Heck everyone brings AR-15`s, 30-30`s, 30 06`s etc into the bars here

And where is here?

[Dead Corpse]

Then you are a ninny that needs to relax more.

If I saw someone walking through a Walmart with a slung rifle like that, I probably would have picked up some more Earl Grey tea, a few of those Yoplait yogurts my Wife likes, and a 6-pack of underwear.

Don’t do the gun grabbers work for them by being scared of your freedoms.

[Dead Corpse]

Which... He didn’t.

So your hyperventilating didn’t do a damn thing. Nor does your fear help “re-educate” anyone.

[Dead Corpse]

Okers. Sorry. ;-)

[tumblindice]

And yet there are reasonable ‘time, place’ restrictions, aren’t there.
You guys are dead wrong about this.
Why not argue the guy has a right to walk around the store with his d**k hanging out?

[SpaceBar]

That dude is an idiot. Not only is he just trying to provoke reaction he’s setting him self up to get shot by a trigger happy cop. This does nothing to promote responsible gun owners, it harms our cause.

Completely agree. "Legal" and making responsible decisions are two entirely different things.

[Envisioning]

Exercise your rights or lose them....(((ping)))
