If you are carrying a rifle around, I am going to think you are nuts. I bet many people called the police on him.

It's legal to carry a rifle or shotgun openly in Texas. What isn't legal is for law enforcement to 'discourage' people from freely performing lawful acts.

Your fear of firearms has nothing to do with my freedom.

*************

I believe it is legal under Texas Law. Thus in your senario
the law must be wrong?

Is that correct?

So? What he was doing was perfectly legal. One hundred percent legal. Who gives a crap how many people called the police? That's a separate thing.

The cops' job is to uphold the law. The cops' actions were in direct violation of the law.

Pretty black and white.

What’s wrong with carrying a rifle around?

I’d carry one all the time if it was convenient. Targets of opportunity always pop up. For example, today I saw 3 coyotes and 1 wolf and a pile of elk. A rifle is way better than a handgun in almost any situation.

"If you are carrying a rifle around, I am going to think you are nuts".

Is that a fact? I think you are nuts for saying that around here where most of us still believe in the constitution. Hope you get zotted, have a nice day.

“If you are carrying a rifle around, I am going to think you are nuts. I bet many people called the police on him.”

Please stick around. I think you will change your opinion.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that [shall not be infringed] unless some pansy thinks those arms look "scary," clause in the 2D Amendment.

Perhaps you shouldn't be allowed to talk in public or post on the internet.

I know you technically have freedom of speech, but your views seem kind of nuts when expressed in public.

You're free to keep those views in your own head, in your house, your place of business, - but don't you dare let anyone hear them on the street, and don't post them on the internet.

Queers and statists must dominate the government and demographics of Minnesota. But as long as they all stay there and not interfere with the Freedom that people in other states enjoy...
