“Perhaps people in New Jersey don’t walk their dogs.”
lol!
I would presume that the 2nd Amendment implies a universal, guaranteed right to carry a weapon in the open. Hopefully the NRA and other pro-freedom groups will take on the states that illegally infringe on this right.
How did the cop know where you lived? You said he came by the house . . .
Did you miss the memo?
Liberals from the Northeast corridor from DC to Boston think they run the world and only what they think is worthy.
Arizona is flyover country, you should have know better than to worry one of the superior ones : )
I live in PA and we have both open carry {no permit required} and concealed carry {permit required} and I have a permit. It makes you wonder about how dumb our gun carry laws are but that's a whole different story.
A few weeks ago my wife and I were out and I had a snub nose 38, holstered and on my belt in the small of my back {under a jacket so it was suppossed to be concealed}.
I bent over and the jacket rode up and the gun was exposed for about a second or two, but it was enough time was an hysterical old woman to scream at the top of her lungs, "OMG, he has a gun".
There was a police officer near and he came over, asked if I had a concealed gun and did I have my permit with me which I did.
There was no real problem, but some people get freaked out when they see a gun with a regular citizen, but the cop had a pistol on his hip and that caused the old woman no particular angst.
Go figure.
Actually we in NJ keep all of our dog crap in the statehouse in Trenton where it belongs. But every once in a great while we elect a Republican instead.
Open carry is also the law in Kentucky. I haven’t strapped a gun on yet, but I’m quite certain that the leftists—thankfully not an overwhelming number here—would experience palpitations while most people would have very little to say.
It's assumed here that the only right you have are those that the government gives you.
Obviously, your bling, baggy pants, backwards hat and grill work (gold on teeth) gave you away as someone who was about to commit a felony : ^ )
“How did the cop know where you lived? You said he came by the house . . .”
Or, more likely, they knew him because this was his neighborhood. It was not that long ago that all the people in a neighborhood knew the local cop on the beat.
Never been quail hunting?
I don’t blame the New Jerseyan for being upset, and it’s not clear to me why the rest of you criticize him. How was he supposed to know that a dog had the proper training to know how to handle a gun responsibly?! How did he know the dog was even old enough to carry a gun (is it 18 in your state?) Not many dogs even get to be 18!
We can always use good people in Arizona. We get a lot of refugees from California.
And smokin’ Joe from Scranton says, don’t believe all that malarky about Obama taking your guns.....
Hmmmmm...now that I think about it...wasn’t this what got Cheney in trouble??? :^)
Yo dog....’bama gun lead ‘em....
ping.
Pardon. Meant to ping bmwcyle.
Some might call it hunting.
Thank you for sharing this. It’s nice to see a small ray of light in a darkening world.
