“I have to assume he’s a bad guy and shoot him. ”
Why? Because you’re an irrational paranoiac?
And with what? ...since only bad guys have guns in stores? Or is that another layer to the confession here?
“If I see a guy carrying a big gun like this while I’m shoping, I have to assume he’s a bad guy and shoot him. It doesn’t make sense to wait to see if he shoots someone else first. He’s got a gun in Kroger, I feel threatened, so it’s my duty to shoot him first.”
Why is she carrying a gun in Kroger? These peoples’ brains are not connected to their mouths.
Pith helmet short shorts and an shoulder bag....the fashion police might plug him.
It’s not the gun. It’s the safari hat. Ban safari hats! /sarc
MT, I have been carrying concealed everyday for almost twenty years and I have never had a problem, not madmoms, no police, no printing of the weapon, no accidental ride ups. No problems.
And I carry it everywhere, except places I know is prohibited by Fed law, (cause those jokers are damn serious about putting a case on you), or where I stand a chance of getting patted down.
The point I am trying to make is that while I know there is a vocal open carry contigent here on FR, self-protection of self and others close to you is the real reason to carry, not to stir up those who are apparently as committed against open carry. I know, some don’t care if it does stir them up, but comments made about SWATing open carry individuals should be taken seriously. Even more seriously, are the comments of preemptively shooting open carriers as a percieved threat. Some motivated individual might just make good on that just to make a political point. The it will become a national issue and debate and with the liberal media involved, I don’t think the NRA has the ink they do. As we are all aware their propaganda machine is immense and voracious and could make easy hay promoting pictures of open carry individuals, particularly those few goofballs acting stupid while carrying rifles.
Then throw the race or ethnicity issue in? That’s a stew we might not want to cook...
An anonymous call to the police with comments of threatening behavior by the carrier, real, false or percieved can have tragic results, like the kid in Wal-Mart. People blame the guy that called it in, but proving intent with malice is going to be a difficult case.
Personally, my red line is the repeal of all the hard fought battles for concealed carry and I firmly believe out of sight it also out of mind.
YMMV...
I’d be more tempted to shoot him for wearing that bizarre costume? Indian Jones meets Dr. Livingstone meets cute metrosexual shorts?
Having been on the receiving end of liberal bile more times than I care to count, I firmly believe that, if given the chance, liberals would round-up those of us with whom they disagree and, at a minimum, put us in concentration camps. The only thing standing in the way of that dream is our guns.
ANYONE who has a problem with either open or concealed carry probably shouldn’t own a gun anyway.
The only thing I see in the pic that anyone should complain about is *maybe* his fashion sense. Other than that, nothing to get worked up over.
Hey, the guy at the cash register with all the money doesn’t seem to be concerned.
File Copyright Suit on them!
What, precisely, will the offended party “shoot” the carrier with? For this scenario to work both need to be carrying. So which is the threat to the peace? Clearly the one with murder on the mind.
Linda ANDREW HunSucker sounds as though he/she has a few “issues”. I really doubt that he/she knows which end of a gun the bullet comes out of. Just the type of person who should not have a gun.
“If I see a guy carrying a big gun like this while I’m shoping, I have to assume he’s a bad guy and shoot him. It doesn’t make sense to wait to see if he shoots someone else first. He’s got a gun in Kroger, I feel threatened, so it’s my duty to shoot him first.”
But Linda, you yourself are carrying a gun, wouldn’t
it just be easier to shoot yourself?
"If I see a guy carrying a big gun like this while I'm shoping, I have to assume he's a bad guy and shoot him. It doesn't make sense to wait to see if he shoots someone else first. He's got a gun in Kroger, I feel threatened, so it's my duty to shoot him first."
And she's going to shoot him with what?
HER gun?
And shouldn't we assume that since SHE'S carrying, then SHE'S the bad guy and deserves to get shot for it?
Does she not see the irony?
Honestly, whatever passes for thought processes in the liberal mind is a mystery but it certainly can never be confused for logic.
Wasn’t this from your hunting trip? I remembered it because I’ve been wanting to get myself a pith hat for some time now, which I imagine is a lot more comfy when it’s really hot out, compared to my typical bush hat.
Maybe a pith hat with a pith sombrero brim. Along with a tight weave but loose khaki ‘gi’ blouse with vents, and a khaki mid-calf kilt with military web belt, a leather reinforced seat and leather anti-cholla leg chaps. With cinches to turn the kilt into pants if needed. Combat boots, of course.
Just the ticket for be-bopping around the desert.

“Next people will be wanting to kill their fellow man because they drive an SUV, or maybe because their house is bigger than average.”
Some libs I know in CA are already there. It’s justified in their minds because those people are causing harm to everyone via global warming.
If the other shopper is himself carrying, then why would he assume that the mere fact of carrying is a predictor of illegal behavior?? Course if the guy's a lib, who know what a liberal brain is capable of? Or is it just that the interviewer thinks rifles are over the line whereas handguns are not? But then he should be supporting you rather than using you as the example for the bad outcome. Very weird.
Somebody needs to post the pictures of the FINE young Isreali ladies at the beach, at Starbucks, etc. I’m to stupid to post pictures. C’mon Mad Moms, pull a gun on one of these exceptional young ladies. The terrorists (over there) won’t.
