Open Carry looks pretty stupid right now

[MattP]

This guy is walking down the street with a rifle?

[oswaldactedalone]

1. Amen

Just ridiculous.

[deathrind]

2. It has never been a

Real wise choice...even less now.

[doc03]

3. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be walking around Dallas with

an open carry weapon tonight.

4. I guess the joke is on him since he has been pronounced a "person of interest." While it seems

he isn't involved.
Open carry is working out well, I guess.

[Electric Monk]

5. That's an understatement. You can even leave out the "right now" part. nt

[GusBob]

6. Just for show is all

Stupid stupid stupid

In their fantasies they are the heroes right? Save the day when someone else starts shooting?

This open carry guy starts shooting back tonight from the crowd.....innocent dead people all around him

8. I was thinking the same thing.

It's a good thing for him that his brother is so smart. His brother got him to do the right thing: immediately surrender the weapon to the nearest law enforcement officer. It probably saved his life. Nothing but admiration for his brother who not only advised his brother to do the right thing, but so ably defended him to the media.

9. Maybe the smart thing would have been not to go out with a big rifle.

[GaYellowDawg]

10. That's why I called his brother the smart one.

[Skittles]

11. gun humping cowards

f*** them all

[gopiscrap]

12. always did

[elleng]

13. It's ALWAYS looked pretty stupid.

[calimary]

18. Amen.

[DesertRat]

14. Yes it does! nt

[Chicago1980]

15. But the NRA will say if there had been a good guy with a gun...

Oh wait!!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Always has been. Sick

[SheilaT]

17. There is no need for anyone to be carrying a gun,

whether openly or concealed. Period.

I happen to be in favor of complete confiscation, and I realize lots of people disagree with me here. But if no one had a gun. . . well just think about it.

I do know that for a very long time (although I don't know if it's changed in recent years) that police in the UK didn't carry guns. Isn't it weird to think that in that time there weren't a lot of killings of despised minorities? Or that there weren't a lot of mass murders of innocent civilians? I wonder why that would be the case. Could it be from the lack of guns available to ordinary people? Naaah. Must be something else at work.

19. I'm old school and like the military.

They lock up their assault rifles. If you want and vote for open carry assault rifles in Texas, this is what you voted for. It's what they voted for.

20. Was the man in the Dallas PD Twitter post actually guilty of anything?

Last I saw it was still unresolved.

If it comes up he's innocent, it's one more sticky spot for their gun laws. He was black after all, and named a suspect.

So, which is it, Live Free or Die, or only if you meet the litmus test of racial purity?

Not directed at the OP, to be clear, but rather at the NRA, and their true believers.
