To anyone who could be injured or die as a result of being shot by a loaded AR-15. Piss off a normal person and the result might be a fist-fight or what have you. Intruduce a loaded AR-15 to the equation and things may very well escalate into something newsworthy.

Which it did. Fortunately, it didn't go any further.

You're right, he didn't violate any laws....and he was legally carrying a concealed weapon. BFD! He threatened no one and the cops should have let him go. The cops escalated a situation for no reason other than the guy was legally carrying guns and wrongfully arrested him for resisting, which he didn't. He also didn't interfere with the cop performing his duties but yet that's what they ended up charging him with. You'd have a point if he'd made any threats to anyone, but he hadn't, and would never have been cuffed and detained if the cop had any police skills other than that of a Nazi storm trooper.

How about the hundreds of thousands of law abiding citizens legally carrying weapons every day ? That has nothing to do with real freedom ?

88, that Satellite pic you post shows an intersection in the middle of some sort of agriculture fields. Yes, there is a housing development a few blocks away, but, it is not what you are trying to paint it as. So what if it is in the "city limits". That means jack shit. Cougars and wild hogs don't read city limits signs. It would not be odd to expect such an area to be lousy with hogs as they probably use those fields as buffets. And if there are hogs, there are cougars, if there are cougars in that area as cougars are as fond of bacon as most folks.

Someone mentioned Watertown, Ma. I will admit that carrying an AR down the street today there might be a bad idea, I'll bet there are an assload of Watertown residents who wish the fukk they did have an AR right about now.

:meds:

A Nazi storm trooper would have shot him on sight and wouldn't have bothered to come up with a story about the guy threatening him with the gun.

Eagle Scout training? With an AR-15?

:lol:

Defending this guy on lawful grounds is fine. Trying to argue that he isn't a moronic gun whacko? No chance. It's legal to own an AR-15 and it's probably just as legal to walk into a crowded theater with a loaded one strapped to your chest, but if you do so you're either a lunatic or a gun-addled idiot.

Defending gun-addled idiots who walk around carrying loaded AR-15s FOR NO FUCKING REASON on the basis of "freedom!" is just laughable.

Laughable, as in mvscal and his comical internet tough guy act.

Common sense and probable cause both dictate that any moron walking around in public carrying a loaded AR-15 fully deserves to be stopped, questioned, and as mvscal so often loves to say about stupid people, shot in the back of the head just for being such a goddamned dick.

Common sense. There is no (good) reason whatsoever for any citizen to carry a loaded AR-15 in public. No freedoms worth a bucket of spit are at risk there.

That isn't at issue. I've already stated that it's legal. It shouldn't be, but it is, so until the law is changed that's a nonissue.

He's just lucky he didn't run into Mace's Nazi storm trooper cop because all the 2nd Amendment rights in the world wouldn't do him a lick of good if that cop felt threatened and decided to eliminate the threat through the application of deadly force.

Why? What part of the definition of inalienable defeats you?

Look, Van, I don't own a gun. I don't need one. But I reserve the right to purchase and carry one if I so desire. And I certainly wouldn't wet myself if I saw a man swinging an AR on a tactical sling walking down a rural road with a 10 year old kid. Granted, this isn't Texas, but the pick-'em-up trucks parked out-front of my high school with gun racks splayed across the back winder weren't exactly an uncommon occurrence in my formative years. Maybe it works diff'ernt living out there in nut land as you do, but most folks I know are fairly comfortable in the presence of guns.

Still believe the law needs to be changed? Have at it. There are TWO mechanisms within the United States Constitution that provide for it. Sorry, but your opinion and Jsc's polls ain't gonna cut it. Deal with it.

No, Van, you didn't. You stated the law is legal, but it needs to be changed. I asked you "why".

You ducked it.
No, I didn't. I already answered it with two simple words: 'common sense.'

The Founding Fathers did not envision weapons of that sort when they wrote the Constitution, and I am confident enough in their combined intellect and wisdom to believe that they would have been strenuously against the notion of Joe Citizen walking down the street with a loaded AR-15 in our current society.

I don't believe for one second that their idea of inalienable rights or even the need for a well-regulated militia would have included such things.

Common sense. I think one of those dudes even wrote a piece about it.
I'll ask you again: Why should it be illegal for someone to stroll down a public street carrying a weapon in a non-threatening fashion?
Depends on the weapon. There is simply no need for a private citizen to own such a weapon, much less for him to walk through town with it.

And "non-threatening" is entirely a matter of one's perception. I guarantee you that most people would immediately feel threatened were they to encounter some asshat rolling through the local shopping mall with a loaded AR-15. If I'm a person of Arab appearance and I'm walking with my brother who also looks Arab and we're both licensed to carry concealed handguns, well, hell, when I see Johnny Reb coming towards me with a gun like that (especially on the heels of 9/11 or any other event that inspired mass hysteria against Arabs) you can bet your ass that my hand would be inching towards that concealed weapon. As soon as Elmer Fudd sees me doing that, you know he's thinking the same thing.

In the blink of an eye what should have merely involved nothing more than hard looks could easily escalate into Derron's idea of porn.

Limit it to concealed handguns on the street and neither person immediately feels threatened.

Also should mention that once the free for all of carrying an ar-15 is in place, that is going to be a "ghetto thing" in obtaining street cred for being seen in public flashing ones weaponry as if they were $3,000 rims on their Lexus.

If I was coloured and wanted to get some easy suit money, I would immediately go out and exercize my right to carry an AR-15 down the street in any town USA that will have LE who will violate my 2nd amendment rights....just like how dimskull exhibited while his son held the camera.

Should be a cinch. Heck..multiple towns and multiple civil suits. Who needs to work with easy $$$ like that just waiting to be picked from the tree? Think I'll start with areas that have backwoods police departments who protect a community of potentially gulible jurors. Southeast Connecticut sounds perfect. How about your burg? Are you all ready to fork out the dinero for dimwit's African equal?



By the way, I do hold a CCW and consider myself pro-gun. I don't want to see hunters being harrassed by the police just because they want to cross the street from one side of the the state gaming preserve to the other, or someones private land. But I'm not in favor of open carry. In my opinion it should all be concealed except if someone is legitimately hunting or engaged in target practice where applicable.
