Yeah... I can’t picture too many Missouri gun owners wanting to post detailed images of what they’ve got online. A typical gun owner if anything will post lamentations about what they have lost while crossing creeks or while bass fishing.

Hard to tell for sure but maybe. He could have borrowed someone else’s catch for the photo. Notice the other picture, with the double hand sign (peace signs or something else?).

Not exactly a hillbilly gesture or hillbilly garb. The Antifa looking mask is a little off from local apparel. Turkey hunters east of Springfield wear camo instead of black masks.

And his name alone would make locals in the area to the east of Springfield (the Ozarks) somewhat suspicious of him, even now.

So trump is importing white supremacist russians to kill people at walmart now?

/s

[piasa]

He couldn’t just call and ask? Even if true that is stunningly stupid given the week’s events.

[familyop]

"He said that the reason why he brought the gun was to see if Walmart still believed in the 2nd Amendment."

WWAAMS? What would an Antifa member say?

[txhurl]

Russian thing, sturgeon-type. Also a centex thing
this story might crack my neural knot

[familyop]

It appears that what you said is correct. Thanks, SB. The phrase from his wife was “immature boy.” He is 20. Maybe a little slow upstairs, too.

Russian Collusion!!!!!!

Must be part of the Putin-Trump army, here to steal the election from the democrats.

A paramedic/EMT? How odd..

"POLICE: Suspect told his sister he wanted to conduct a social experiment"

youtuber? there must of been a camera guy nearby

[TEXOKIE]

Wow! very strange events there in MO.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Will he be red-flagged?

[LSAggie]

youtuber? there must of been a camera guy nearby.

The article said he asked his sister to film him and she refused, told him it was a bad idea, so he just filmed himself. What an idiot!

[Openurmind]

“He studied EMS/EMT at Ozarks Technical Community College”

Set up to make a point with his “firefighter” friend...

[Openurmind]

“Bert” called it...

[Cuttnhorse]

In Idaho, the saying goes; if you know how many guns you own, you don’t have enough.

This kid is a millionaire in the making. All of his conduct was legal.

Open carry (aka Constitutional carry) is LEGAL in Missouri. I hope he sues over the illegal arrest and violation of his rights.

My goodness. We WANT law-abiding citizens out there carrying guns. Would you prefer Walmart become a dangerous gun-free zone?

[Manly Warrior]

Intent has to be proven- as you state, so far none of his individual actions violate state law.

If this was true, then the three individual guys open carrying carrying at another central MO Wal-Mart today ought to be in the hoosegow too? One of them was really scary looking to me... ( as I slunk along with my concealed 1911 and concealed armor in the next aisle).
