Recently Walmart banned a man from all of their stores' nationwide for open carrying in a Kentucky Walmart after someone called the police to say that an armed man was inside the store acting suspiciously.

This is 2019. Facial recognition is very good now. The security cameras watch everyone coming into their store.
 
That's assuming a lot. The dirty little secret is a lot of cameras at Walmart are clunked out and don't work - they work more at keeping the ones inside functional but a lot of if not most outside ones are dead and don't work. I got a look inside an AP office a few days ago and there were blank camera screen slots galore. Their camera tech doesn't stay updated - as a rule newer stores will have better cams than older ones, but as far as "facial recognition", I haven't heard anything about that being deployed. Mostly it comes from the AP people knowing who the habitual crooks are and being on the lookout for them.
 
 
The program alerts security, who then directs the identified person to leave.
 
As far as open carriers go, let me tell you how it's been going down around these parts - your particular experience may vary. Store security will watch them on camera like they would a shoplifter tracking their location. But no security, manager or employee confronts the person - nope, they make an "armed subject" call to the cops. But, the cops don't drop what they're doing and come running - it's classified as a low priority call. What's been happening more often than not is by the time the cops amble on over there, the person has already left the premises on their own. ROFL. There's more pressing things to deal with than Walmart whining about icky guns being in the store.

I worked for walmart briefly, which is why I'll never set foot in one again, but that's another story for another time.

Amyway, during our training, they told us the only entity in the country with better technology is the U.S. government.

A few days ago, a fisherman at a Texas lake hauled up a Galil! Dang it, I never hook anything that interesting. Just goes to show - boating accidents... the struggle is real!

Apparently, you are unfamiliar with the word “analogy.” Look it up.

Penis analogies, are those a specialty of yours?

I know what a valid analogy looks like — walking into a store “open- carrying “ your member is not protected by the Constitution, and in fact can get you arrested on a variety of charges, including indecent exposure or possibly corruption of a minor, etc.

If you think it’s a valid analogy then go to Wal-Mart with your tiny member on display, see if they 1) try to give you a yellow-dog style contract agreeing to being banned from all Wal-Marts, or 2) get arrested for reasons cited above.

I await your result. Remember, you only get one phone call.

MY tiny member, eh?
Chuckle.
Everybody knows a an obsessive need to display a gun just might be a way of compensating.
Otherwise, tucking it out of sight wouldn’t get you so riled up. Have a nice evening.

It was your failed penile analogy, not mine — now you think guns are phallic symbols, continuing your obsession with the male appendage. Creepy.

“Anyone can claim to be a protected class in one form or another in any situation.”

It’s not enough to “claim to be a protected class”, they would have to demonstrate that the discrimination was based on their membership in a protected class, or the case would get tossed out of court in short order.

Aww. Now you’re whimpering.

You’re the one speculating about,and claiming to know-—the size of my “member.” THAT’S creepy.
Which means my analogy didn’t fail at all, it landed right on target.
I’m saying, My gun, like my “member” will remain inside my pants, thank you.

The size of either will remain for me to know, and you to find out— which *my* preference would be never.

In a justice system loaded up with bleeding heart liberal judges and juries? Just wearing a pink shirt to court, or coming in using a walking cane would end it in their favor. They don’t have to prove anything at all, all they have to do is claim it. YOU bear the burden of proof and would have to prove THEY ARE NOT. And it has now gone beyond just the protected classes, just a historical example of how it works now if it goes to court.

Please do, along with other silly invalid analogies.

I destroyed your argument. Did you make it past 8th grade?

“I destroyed your argument. Did you make it past 8th grade?”

Atually no, you didn’t destroy my argument, because you never understood the argument & completely mischaracterized the parameters of it.

In your determination to have the last word, now you’re resorting to paraphrasing my insult grenades & tossing them back.

To wit, I already asked YOU, How old are you, twelve?!
LOL.
At any rate, I’m tired of wasting my time arguing with an idiot.
Strap on your six-shooter & go argue with Walmart’s “corporate abusers.”

If you want to have the last word. knock yourself out.
I’m done.

Post from “School of Rational Thought” on another thread

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3777923/posts


Here’s why all of us should care:

OPEN CARRY WITHOUT A CPL:
1. Open carry allows 18-20 year old adults to engage in self defense outside the home.
2. Open carry allows those financially unable to pay the $200-$300 cost of obtaining a CPL to engage in self defense outside the home.
3. Open carry allows those who don’t meet the long list of disqualifiers for a CPL to engage in self defense outside the home.
4. Open carry doesn’t require permission from the state in the form of a license to engage in self defense outside the home.
OPEN CARRY WITH A CPL:
1. Open carry is simply a more comfortable form of carry for some people, especially those using an OWB holster, those carrying a larger handgun or long gun, and during the warmer months.
2. Open carry may provide a tactical advantage for some people due to body types or physical limitations allowing for a faster draw.
3. Michigan’s convoluted firearms laws allow open carry in some places where concealed carry is banned.
4. Open carry has a social element that concealed carry lacks encouraging conversations and education about legal gun ownership.

Ceding liberties because they don’t apply to you is not in the best interest of liberty.

Because that is the only way many people will ever see a gun on the hip of a law abiding citizen.

I OC who ever I can. I did tonight to the local Farmers Market and few people even notice.

I can show you hundreds of stories of 0eople carry concelead getting attacked.

But people who OC and are attacked? That is as rare as an honest liberal.

Criminals are not stupid. They are not going to attack someone who is carrying a gun and knows how to use it.

Why open carry and scare people? That is not very smart. Just conceal carry and be ready.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You're the first "Woke Capitalism Zombie" I've seen on this thread!
