    "Feelings"! Your kidding right? People need to relearn how to mind there own business.

    A guy with a gun is of no concern unless he is in a "Gun Free Zone" - a Free Fire Killing Ground.

    No, I'm not kidding. A man openly carrying a gun in a public place could well be a potential mass killer. People have every right to voice their concerns.

    'There, their and they're'
    'Your' and 'you're'.
    Learn the difference; no need to thank me.

    Mass shooters operate in "Gun Free Zones". The gun is not a problem. Helpless prey are the problem.

    Whether you accept it or not is not relevant. Fact of life and reality shows that different people react to the same type of thing in different ways. For instance lots of people like clowns, lots of others hate clowns. You take those one person from each of those two groups of people and put them in the same room with a clown and they will both react differently to the same clown.

    And I know the difference that you're trying to draw by referring to the black guy that was shot and killed in that Ohio Wal-Mart with this. You're trying to draw a racism component between both instances into this when its quite possible that no racism component actually exists between both instances. Racism might have existed in one of the instances, but not necessarily in both. I'll admit that it is of course possible that racism does exist in both instances. But without evidence we just don't know. So to conclude absolutely that there is a racism component is wrong. And by saying "I don't accept...." you're trying to conclude absolutely that there is a racism component.

    Demon guns are like demon rum. They both cause men to do bad things. Anti-Gun nuts are like the modern Carrie Nation.

    Bold only: Essentially, yep. And why should they? If we were to start regulating everything based on "feelings" then everyone would be in solitary confinement sitting in a bubble wrapped room. Because you can't go through life without getting your feelings hurt.

    Not Racism, per say. More along the lines of dangerous profiling. This incident at the airport wouldn't have been the same if the Open Carry individual had been an Arab in typical Muslim garb. It simply wouldn't. I live in an Open Carry state and I routinely pass for Arabic. I am also considering the purchase of a firearm. if I ever decided to open Carry (I don't think I would, but then again I never thought I'd want to buy a gun), this is something that would effect me.

    But, I am digressing and I don't want to derail. You're points are valid and I can't argue with them. You're aboslutely right that these cases will play out as varied as the individuals involved.

    Feelings are the lens through which liberals translate everything they see.

    People engaged in legal activities are not in any way bound by what -you- think they should do.

    legally he is right.... BUT concealed carry is obviously the better option as cops, security and many civilians get nervous when people open carry

    but not everyone is allowed to Concealed Carry, so can't really blame them for not doing the right thing as the government made it illegal for them to do so

    Since he wouldn't actually have been doing what was reported because it was slung across his back? No that'd be murder if they just rolled up, saw him following the law, and opened fire without even saying a word. And filing a false police report is a crime.

    The (*)(*)(*)(*) is wrong with you?

    That would be because the guy who got killed in the walmart had some (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag scaring the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of the dispatcher lying that he was pointing a rifle at people and loading bullets into it, and the dispatcher scared the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of the cops. When you can clearly see on the tape synced with the 911 call that he's just standing there fiddling with a child's toy and not pointing it at anyone. And he's certainly not loading anything into a toy that doesn't have a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing chamber or a magazine.

    A quiet guy reading a newspaper on a park bench could well be a potential mass killer.

    I would think they'd be more nervous about the guns they can't see rather than the ones they can.

    Certainly they do. Nothing makes a better case against the unrestricted availability of deadly firearms than people walking around using them as fashion accessories and social standing boosters.

    The incident was fully legal. No laws were broken. This matter has already been discussed extensively in another thread.

    All firearms are deadly and there are all kinds of restrictions on their availability.

    While he worded it a little clumsily, his point is that criminals operate where their prey is disarmed and unprotected. I can only think of one or two instances where a mass killing took place where the victims were allowed to legally be armed. (Gabby Gifford's shooting is the first one I thought of.) I avoid those places as much as possible, whether I'm carrying or not.
