It was not that long ago, that police arrested Brad Kruse for wearing a holstered pistol on his own property. They charged him with disorderly conduct.

I googled BK bud found only bad people. Where did this happen?

I am SURE there is footage of the entire thing. Until I see it, the man is completely in the right; if it turns out he- however inadvertently pointed or let the weapon point at someone then throw the book at him.

Having had an idiot neighbor who had no clue about not pointing a firearm EVER at something you do not intend to put a hole in I have zero tolerance for anyone who doesn't take such procedure seriously and execute it perfectly. (accidentally point a weapon at me or my wife and you'd better be ready to use it, or know a good proctologist). But it sounds like he knew what he was doing and was in a legal area.

He's gpt a good point in that the TSA is everything that is wrong with government rolled into one entity.

I decided to make the point that a peaceful citizen can openly and responsibly carry a firearm - including an AR-15 - for the protection of themselves and their community.

What. An. Idiot.

And how am I, a traveler at that airport, supposed to know that the gun toting idiot is a peaceful citizen and not a terrorist? Because he's smiling? Because he's white? He obviously has no common sense if he thinks it's a smart thing to do!

If you saw a middle East man with a beard, dressed in robes, walking through the terminal carrying an AR-15, would you just sit back and sigh a relief at that peaceful citizen protecting you? What if it were a young black man dressed in low-slung jeans wearing a T-shirt of some rap group? He may be the most peaceful citizen in existence, but would you ignore the AR-15 he's carrying? After all, it's his right.

When did Open Carry cease in AZ? I remember years ago when anyone could open carry.

I'm assuming you realize that there is a difference between open carry on you own property and open carry in an airport?

But I'm curious; why the airport? Why not a school or a prison or a military base or a bar?
