Carrying a rifle in a mall nowadays is inviting trouble.
To which I say, "Bring it!"
That's the problem right there. You bring it and then they bring it. First the store puts placards stating "No Firearms Allowed". So much for the protection of the CCW people (who I support)if they get caught. Then metal detectors at malls. Then armed guards. And they will point to YOU and BOZO there as the reason they have to do it. Why give them this gift? Carry concealed and don't be a jerk.

More good guys than bad guys out there. We'd soon run out of bad guys.

This is not bad for society.

Wow! How old are you, sir? I’m 32 years old, and I’ve never seen it in my day, but I’ve seen pictures of my father and my uncles with their rifles IN SCHOOL. No school shootings back then. I have a picture of my uncle at a gas station putting fuel in his boat with a revolver on his hip.

This was NORMAL just 50 years ago. Now people like you are “afraid” of an “incident” in a mall or a store.

And the whole “Gun Free Zone” argument is a canard. If they want to ban guns, then do it. We’ll patronize businesses that are gun-friendly. You should think the same way, regardless if you carry or not.

Also, why is this guy a “BOZO?” You’re using a LOT of defamatory language to refer to someone exercising his RIGHT to carry a firearm.

The Second Amendment says nothing about concealed carry. It says “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Open-carry is as much “bearing” those arms as is carrying concealed.

Likewise there’s no law about being “quiet” about unsavory elements of society in the press. “If it bleeds, it leads.” So why castigate lawful gun bearers when you likely yell at your TV on a regular basis for journalists being idiots?

No, force each and everyone of them to take a stand, publicly. So all can see who are the supporters and who are not. No more closets!!
