Openly carrying a firearm is not a legal provocation to attack the person carrying the firearm.

There are instances where antifa provokes conservatives so they could kill them.

In fact, it is a sign to do the exact opposite.

No. But if shit goes sideways, the jackass open carrying is my first target.

This is just a variation of the equally radically false principle that words are use of force - the antifa excuse to do violence is they are defending against words.

No, but I’d just as soon carry concealed.

In my state our bull dyke Attorney General...and every one of our Soros District Attorneys (Soros owns my state from top to bottom)...will prosecute any white person who defends him/herself. As was demonstrated by SCOTUS in "Caetano v Massachusetts" neither the state legislature nor the state courts give a rat's hindquarters about the 2nd Amendment.

In that decision SCOTUS ruled 9-0 that Caetano's 2nd Amendment rights were violated by the state's Supreme Court...and everyone else involved.

Saying open carry is a legal provocation to attack is akin to saying the way a woman dresses is provocation to rape her.

I live the caption. They mention the guy also is open carrying a radio.

A few comments...

Open carry is not cause to attack.

Open carry does however, as opposed to concealed, signal exactly where the good guys are and could make you a target for bad guys.

Open carry at a church implies he has permission from the church to do so on church property.

Open carry at a church may send mixed messages to new church members, but I guess the church can decide it’s policies. I carry concealed for my church security team. Our policy is no open carry. The property owner has the right to set that policy.

If I had my druther, I’d carry a rifle too, as it’s far more effective once the shooting has begun.

Last comment, the rifle needs a sling. It’s an essential.

“Apply this to the police. They almost always carry a deadly weapon, openly”

Not just there either.....every pawn shop and gun store I’ve ever been in, most if not all the employees open carry.......isn’t it funny how you seldom hear about robberies at either of those types of businesses.

Is having car insurance a provocation to cause vehicular damage?

Is having home insurance a provocation to torch you home?

There are those who say open carry is 'making a statement'.

I still think that statement is 'Shoot me first.'

It is to psychotic leftists who are easily “triggered,” but they are psychotics whose opinions should be disregarded.

We just passed constitutional carry in Georgia. Going home last evening saw a Black guy on a motorcycle open carrying. I look for it to be more prevalent here going forward. I guess we’ll find out if it provokes attack.
