I’m a gun owner. However, I understand how average sheeple might be intimidated by guys walking around a farmers market packing an AR-15.

I am not interested in making unarmed people feel intimidated. It is not kind......Concealed carry solves that. It is not kind......Concealed carry solves that.

Would these two guys like it if I paraded down their street where their children were playing with my AK strapped to my back?

I expect they would approve.

I know that I would appreciate it, and likely strike up a conversation.

Then the sheeple need to be conditioned to understand that someone lawfully exersizing their constitutional rights is a good thing. First, the cops need to be conditioned. That's what these guys are doing.

I'd be fine with you walking down my street with an AK on your back.

5 min. of video looking at a brick wall with the moron being questioned by the police.

I don't care who you are but If I see you walking down a street carrying concealed with an AR-15 over your shoulder, I'm going to watch you and probably call the cops.

I too carry concealed but I'm certainly not stupid enough to sling an AR over my shoulder just to make a point.........

This moron is a disgrace to all law abiding 2nd Amendment supporters and his actions should be ridiculed..........

Your argument is kind of absurd, Fred, if you don’t mind my saying. Are you arguing that these two men, by virtue of the exercise of their right to keep and bear arms, would be scared of you if you had an AK strapped to your back?

Quite frankly, sir, I’d want to shake your hand, and I would point you out to my child as an example of someone exercising a right no different than someone preaching scripture in a public park or a political opinion in the editorial of a newspaper.

Free men, law-abiding men, do not conceal their weapons. Men who are interested in liberty do not carry a weapon in a pocket or under their shirt. Criminals who wish to do someone harm do not walk into a movie theater with an AR15 strapped to their backs, they stow the weapon in a vehicle parked outside the emergency exit, leave the theater halfway through the previews, and come back to shoot up the place.

Do you react similarly when you see cop in the supermarket or at the mall? Does your child recoil at the sight of a detective carrying a pistol on his or her hip in WalMart? Just because someone has a badge doesn’t make them a good or virtuous person. Likewise, a man with a gun with the open and honest displaying of the weapon without a badge does not make that man a criminal or a ne’er do well.

This is the sort of conditioning I’m talking about. Not even 50 years ago, firearms were so commonplace as to be normal. Concealed carry had to be passed as law across the nation, because it was previously considered illegal and uncivilized. Due to the limp-wristed weenies on the left and a few generations of indoctrination telling kids that guns are bad and only kill people, we now have a society that goes into a fit if someone is seen carrying a weapon but does not have a badge or uniform of some type. That’s NOT what the Second amendment and our right to bear arms is all about, and I’m disgusted that we’ve fallen that far in civil discourse to allow it.

We need so many people walking around like this that people get used to it.

I wouldn’t have any problem with you doing that because my .270 is close at hand.
