I completely agree with you.
Holy Sh*t dude, sorry, but I'm laughing my a** off because it is so funny. Cases like that call for a midnight visit to the goon's home and top off his gas tank with some sugar.....
Ever ask yourself if it might be just too much of a coincidence? Maybe he was just trying to advance the anti-gun and anti-freedom efforts of many people in our nation.
Some actually seem to go out and launch terror attacks, others just pull off some kind of action whose effect is to help the anti-gun crowd.
Always remember James O'Keefe's tape recording of Bob Creamer talking about how they have people they can get to take actions, like starting a fight, to advance their political causes.
Good points. Perhaps this was a false flag operation. He certainly did a disservice to second amendment proponents.
Oh, heck, the CVS makes one cashier scoot between stocking items, running the photo operation AND ringing out customers. Walgreens is no better.
I can understand, however, the prohibition on open carry. If some idiot openly carries a rifle or pistol into Walmart, the ban on open carry justifies immediate response on the part of Walmart. What they plan to do with those vital seconds is another matter, but I think that is the plan.
The irony is that the Supreme Court must deal with the historical bias against concealed carry when considering what is the nature of the right to bear arms. Fortunately, if the Supreme Court rules that open carry is the right but that concealed carry can be heavily regulated, there will be governments who think like Walmart who are going to be begging people to carry concealed. That will insure that anyone who can legally open carry will be able to qualify for a permit to carry concealed.
I think we are just a few years away from resolving this issue.
I should add to my post above that one benefit to Walmart’s ban on open carry will be that those people who conceal-carry will also be able to react more quickly to an armed killer. They will know that anyone who openly has a gun is violating Walmart’s policy and is a potential threat. If everybody can open carry then you can’t tentatively identify a threat until the shots are fired.
Agreed. See my post #58
