Open carry is fucking stupid. It's just for people who want to flash their gun and look cool. I would much rather have my gun tucked into my pants and let no one know what i have. If anything happens and you do need to use your weapon you have the element of surprise. If a armed criminal can see your gun on your hip then you most likely would be his first choice to get rid of.
This guy strikes me as rather foolish. Cops who don't know him have to stop him to make sure he has the right to carry. Typical gun nut. God know how many are running around in NH. California has banned open carry. Largely because of guys like this who want to go around parading their weapons. Christ!
a cop should confront him for open carry, because the cop has no idea if hes legal or not, as long as he proves him self legal their should be no dilemma

@TheDaedalEVE well i'm not sure what you mean since you have like, a million syntax errors there, so i'm not sure if you're arguing with me or if you're agreeing with me. I know you have a valid point to be made. And I also realize i was a little upset when I said that and that I over did it. But if you've suffered the sort of abuse the police have inflicted on me and my loved ones, with little or no real reason, perhaps you'd understand. I'm sorry if I offended you. I really am.
It's been so long but forever I've had a smile everytime I noticed a citizen carrying. I don't live in an open carry state. Disturbing the peace....I see peace in another man/woman who will stand up for my life...still can't figure out where the legislators came from. That includes cops, I smile when they are around, cause I'm backup if they need me. It is strange to differentiate between tangos and foxtrots, and line them up in order. Interesting video.
Blanchard Oklahoma authorities don't plan to file charges against an Oklahoma woman (18 year old Sarah Mckinley) who fatally shot a New Year's Eve intruder at her house while she had a 911 dispatcher on the phone, but the intruder's alleged accomplice has been charged in the death.
Oklahoma law allows the use of deadly force against intruders, and prosecutors said McKinley clearly acted in self-defense. According to court documents, Martin was holding a knife when he died.
@19kking Listen up fuckwit moron, you watched it, you came to HIS channel so your pathetic 2:41 minutes of your life wasted was your own fucking fault.
@KMartinTV everyone watch KMartinTV on his channel. This young man makes a complete mockery of himself while all fucked up on pcp and bath salts. I give him a 10/10 and would recommend every single one of his videos for young children
I trust the man with a full-sized .45 ACP openly strapped to his side over the man with a compact 9mm hidden under his overcoat. Everything boils down to demeanor. TBH it's what I can't see that scares me most.
iv checked this man out a lot, he only gets hassled because he approaches cops and starts shit. if he didn't act like an idiot, he wouldn't be treated as such
@etestgame The greatest country in the world in which you reside was built on capitalism. If you get off your ass and make something of yourself you can be rich an prosperous. 6 years ago when I joined the Army infantry I had no idea I would be a millionaire at this point. Go to school, get a job, buy income property.
talking about robbers and such, im not totally positive but i think banks, schools, and liquor stores are still illegal to carry any sort of way. anywhere
God has bestowed upon you life. And only he has the right to end your time on earth. You are obligated to protect this gift from the Almighty from thieves who would steal your time, your life, your gift from Him.
So while you are on your "psychological witch hunt", make sure you are not taking the rights of those of us who deserve to have them. To do so would be the quickest way to make such people your enemies.
We've already lost enough freedom due to those who would happily trade liberty for the illusion of safety. I for one will fight and die before I let anyone else take another damn thing from me.
I'd give my life in to protect an innocent person... but I also have Social Anxiety and Depression. Do you think I'm a "threat"? A lot of people (including former friends) would say yes, simply do due to my diagnosis. The state disagrees however. You see, every time I purchase a "restricted firearm" I not only fill out Federal and State paperwork, but I also have to allow access to mental health records. I'm a perfectly trustworthy person despite my "labels".
Oh come on. A cop sees a guy walking away from a 7 11 at 1 am carrying a gun on his hip. Any SMART cop would stop and check this guy out. Its not an infringment upon your right to open carry. Its just good police work.
@recruit71 why would they check him out with it on his hip? On his hip is pretty clear he did not just use it for anything wrong. Now if he were exiting the 711 with it in hand then sure you likely have something to concern yourself with.
I admit I'm very confused here. Its legal to carry. He was doing so lawfully. They drove by a few times to see what was going on and obviously decided he was a law abiding citizen, and possibly that he was not the person they may have been looking for. What exactly is wrong here? I've seen identical videos where people bitched because cops detained them to check their carry permits. If you applauding the cops then cheers, if your still complaining then...wow.
IMHO open vs. concealed carry is a debate that can likely only be resolved via statistics. There are pros and cons to each carry method. Open carry makes the weapon more accessible both to the armed citizen and unfortunately the criminal. Concealed carry means no deterant effect because the would be criminal wouldn't know you're armed until after the fact so may attempt to victimize you whereas choosing an easier victim if they knew you were armed. Personally, I think open carry is better.
It's so sad how America has become pussified. At one point in time, a concealed weapon (dagger or flintlock) was considered an act of a criminal. A law-abiding gentleman carried his weapon openly. Now the opposite is encouraged.
New England people are where the libs come, from just like Ann Arbor or Kent State, I wish there would double Homeland officers arrest all these lib terroits. Fire arms of hand guns should be illegal, expect for off duty law enforcements. only riffles used for hunting or defending is legal, in my view. New England is a breeding ground of smelly hippie trash, if you come to Ohio go to lib cities like Akron,Kent or Cleveland. my city you unwelcome you libs, many people like me,and not be served.
Typical retards from New Hampshire. Nothing happens in the video except at one point I think I heard background laughter from the entire state of Vermont. Oh no! A cop is looking at me! Quick, to the freedom phone!! Cops look at everyone walking around town at 1am don't take it so personally.
In summary: NH has 20% of New Englands people, and ً80% of the crazy ones!
Seems alot of folks dont lnow bout blackhawk holsters.thry have a release button on them.u cant jus pull the gun out.u have to press a button to get it out the holster.this is hard to do if u dont kno its ghere to press
Ive got a question for all of you open carry supporters.im on the fence about the issue.email me @ deadwabbits@gmail.com with a mature response please.if evr1 can oc that means gangsters w/o records can 2.if u get attacked & ur gun is taken & used against u/another person who's liable 4 damages? how is carrying an unloaded gun safer than not carrying at all?I realize that u carry ammo separately but how quick can u load up safely and get in the fight?
im 4 citizens protecting themselves but the prob is that bad guys and criminals will use/exploit the very rights that u guys endorse as being exercising ur right to protect urself. yes they do it now anyway but if they start doing this its going to get very out of control. if u shoot it out with them and the pd arrives, how can they sort out the good from the bad. dont u risk getting shot that way? please respond. thanks
to everyone who says open carries will be the first one to die, your all morons. in reality you have no idea how every possible scenario will play out so keep ridiculous over generalizations like that to yourself. thanks
I understand that the whole point of this videos is to show citicens about their rights, but, in real life on a robbery situation, or an assault if the bad guy notice that you are wearing a gun, you wil bue the first one to die. Instead, the guy with a concealed weapon will have the opportunity to shot down the bad guy.
Open carry seams stupid and dangerous. I dont like the idea of strangers just feet away from me carrying a gun. This shit should be heavily regulated. Maybe you are mentally stable and responsible with an instrument of death, but what about a guy who only appears to be stable. Why carry a gun just to carry one? Just to prove some dipshit point. I feel alot safer knowing that cops are investigating gun toting weirdos. Why not promote and innovate non-leathal wepons.
@VanDOOMenStein Statistically speaking those open carry strangers are more law abiding than the police. I am one of those strangers you are talking about (also concealed carry) and once you get to know those people the more you realize you are being paranoid. What makes you think open carry citizens are not mentally stable and responsible? Non-lethal weapons have a significantly lower success rate for stopping an attack - although it would be much preferred. (Cont.)
my only problem with open carry is that someone may try to suddenly (for what ever the reason) take the gun from you. To me conceal carry makes more sense
@inkey2 Open carry is good because it keeps criminals from trying anything they are less anxious to start something if they see a guy with a firearm. Plus it's easier to unholster a firearm that is not covered up by you coat or sweatshirt.
@inkey2 This is why you buy holsters that are only able to "straight" draw. This would disallow anyone from taking your firearm quickly, they would have to figure out how to pull it out, giving you plenty of time to elbow them in the face, draw your weapon, and perform a citizens arrest.
@TheRealTwitchy I still am not understanding this. Anyone who is physically small...a female or small male who has a visable gun would be susceptable to someone much larger getting the gun away from them. Why advertise you have a weapon for someone to try and take off you
@inkey2 You're not wrong, but it could also mean that the criminal would pass on the opportunity and search for a physically small male or female they know isn't armed because it's easier. Criminals are usually bullies and like most bullies, are scared to death of anything that approximates a fair fight.
You really think a criminal is going to be emboldened by the sight of a firearm holstered on a small female's hip? Most criminals are opportunists, and THAT does NOT scream "OPPORTUNITY!" The entire premise of openly carrying a weapon is so as to be a deterrant of violence. That said, I'll conceal mine when I turn 21
@inkey2 Its still necessary to exercise open carry rights because if not- you'll be limited to carrying only small handguns you can conceal as opposed to a firearm that'll actually save your life when/if the shit does hit the fan.
@kilroy238 for the same reason they may suddenly take your wallet, your car, your designer shoes, or anything else........the same reason anyone takes anything. A gun is just a sellable on the black market as anything else
@inkey2 Yeah because so many criminals want to play tug of war with a probably loaded pistol. Criminals pick easy targets and someone with a gun on their hip I don't think classifies but you never know when some crazed thief might be suicidal. ;)
@kilroy238 well, this is exactly what I am saying........the "you never know" aspect is always present when you have an exposed, loaded gun on you. Especially if you are a small male or small female. You are using the mindset of a rational, law abiding citizen when thinking about this, and you can't think that way.....especially if you live in a high crime area or gang area. I am all for carring a gun I just do not understand why you would want to advertise it.
@inkey2 we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. No matter which way I look at it if I see a guy packing that is the last guy I'm going to try and rob. You are right you can never know but I'm a firm believer in playing the odds and the odds of some things happening are just astronomical my example of a suicidal thief for one. If a scumbag has a a choice of 2 small females odds are that he will always choose the path of least resistance. Just my thoughts.
@inkey2 That's why you open carry ONLY with a locking holster. It gives you a chance to pull your secondary weapon and shoot the gun thief in the frickin' face for being so stupid...
@inkey2 I think we should have the option of both. Having an open carry may deter criminal mischief if a potential assailant sees that I'm armed. Both have pluses.
@inkey2 This is a true statement. But those that carry, especially open carry are WELL aware of this and ARE always at condition Yellow (scanning for potential threats). Most people open carry because they know how to actually use a gun and protect themselves. Just an FYI.
That's why you're a coward. Anyone who carries properly isn't overly concerned with someone trying to take their firearms. If it's secured properly it shouldn't be an issue.
I like open carry myself. It's more of a determent, people are more respectful towards you in general, and if anything did happen I'd prefer to be the first one targeted, as it would take attention away from those who don't have the means to fight back.
The Darwin Award huh? Is that because I'm so much more evolved and self aware that I'm capable of putting aside my basal instincts, ignore fear, and sacrifice myself and my well being for the greater good? Because I understand my place in society, and while I am not a great scientist, leader, or innovator I realize I can sacrifice myself to safe someone who is?
@TheDaedalEVE anyone who would choose to be the first to die is without a doubt a major winner of The Darwin Award. Humans have a fight or flight response for a reason. Those who chose to die first will not be able to reproduce and have their genes travel on into the next centuries. If you chose to be like that, it is fine with me. Your genetice will stop with you
OK, firstly, it's Fight, Flight, or Freeze (not a lot of people know about that last one). As for me, it's fight...
Second, who said anything about dying? I said "first one targeted" and "sacrifice myself". You think selflessness = sure death? You presume far too much. Is death a possibility, yes. Am I willing to take that risk, yes. Many great people throughout history have done exactly that.
And what makes you think I don't have any offspring? Again, you presume too much.
So I'm sorry... but all I keep hearing from you is "I'm going to hide because I'm afraid to die, and I think that makes me intelligent".
I think it makes you a self absorbed spineless coward who's afraid to stand up for his fellow man. Maybe that way of thinking will keep you alive longer, but aside from living a shallow and pathetic life, who would actually want to mate with someone so obviously cowardice?
@VulcanXL I'd rather that they guy keeps it hidden where it's not easily taken from him. How much training in weapon retention do you REALLY think he has?
I wasnt talking about the law. Fuck the law, it's out of control. they have their check points where you "have" to stop or it's concidered fleeing to avoid arrest? More like Marshall Law. And "Police officers" get away with shooting people every day. For no reason. "He was goin for his gun!!" No.. He sneezed, now he has no face. Since when does BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE include a Nazi brigade of mindless apes controlling us?

Open carry may be a deterrent, but it is also something that causes fear, and brings a lot of unnecessary, negative attention. This isn't the wild west. Open carry is quite uncommon for most people to see, and in most cases will actually cause more trouble than good.
Open carry causes fear and could cause a conk from behind. I love to carry but won't make myself a target. What is permissible is not always beneficial.

If I see someone open carrying a gun I feel safe because Id know that the person has experience and knowledge about firearms and they recognize the laws. a criminal wouldnt open carry a firearm because people would notice and question him/her.
@zxSINNxz Wait, you just said you would "know" that the open carrier is both a good person and experienced gun handler and in the same breath you say a criminal wouldn't open carry because it would attract suspicion. Doesn't make much sense unless you have a magical 6th sense to know who is a criminal and who isn't.
@usagora lol thanks for the reply i cant find my comment, but i think i remember. I was saying that about 99.9 percent of criminals wont open carry, because people would be suspicious. Most people who open carry know that most likely you are going to be aproached by someone about your gun. But they dont care because they are obeying the laws and they know there rights.
@usagora most likely a criminal is going to conceal so there is no attention on them, why would they open carry. people who open carry are watched most of the time. so criminals dont want that spotlight on them before there going to commit a crime. plus if a criminal were to open carry, and a officer asks them about it 98.% of the time they arent going to know the law. and the officer would be on high alert. so the criminal would be watched like a hawk.
Some stranger carrying a gun ALWAYS make me feel safe...NOT! I don't know you, neither do the cops, moron. Someone carrying a gun ALWAYS makes me nervous, tho we have a constitutional right to bear said arms.
Carrying guns would make ME feel safe and it would make criminals nervous, as well as the rest of the public.
I'm not arguing with our rights, just don't say I should feel safe cause YOU are carrying a gun.
@jjkhawaiian Like you said, it makes you nervous because it makes criminals nervous. Do you need a background check on everyone on the planet before you meet them? You really need some serious help.
Oh my! The Black Helicopter, Ron Paul, conspiracy gangs are running rampid. Didn't take your Zanex this morning? The intro of this video ought to serve as a guide to the level of professionalism and intent of this video.
Would you rather got shot and lay there bleeding while your shooter gets away? Or get shot, and while he's runnin away, give his leg a .45 cramp so he drops too. If you carry a gun, that's what people will be afraid of, even if they have a gun too. No one likes getting shot at. Point is, if everyone is carrying a gun, people will think twice before doing something they might regret.
@batkid1000 You are EXACTLY why I do not want to see more people carrying guns. People do not understand the law. You do realize if you shoot someone who is running away from you, you will go to prison, right? Your right to use deadly force in self defense ENDS as soon the threat ends. Further, all you are doing shooting at a retreating criminal is endangering innocent people who might be in the area. This isn't a video game.
the mere fact that you walked in with your gun open carried AND a video camera....Means your there to stir up shit and / or attract attention for your youtube politics
There is a reason New Hampshire has a low crime rate. Because the regular joes are wearing there guns openly.... um duh! If i were a criminal I would go after the person not wearing a weapon, but hey thats me....
@AmokBR I disagree. I have a conceled carry permit and would NEVER openly carry without cause. Why? Because it makes the average person nervous to see a gun. I do not feel the need to terrify people (however unjustified their reaction is). I carry for personal protection. It certainly does NOT make me feel safe to see other people carrying guns - because I am well aware of the number of whackos and poorly trained people out there.
@AmokBR unless its some gangbanger out to prove how "cool" he is or something, and thinks he will look better killing someone with a gun. Rare and I'm not arguing against open carry and guns in general being a deterrent for gun crimes, but there is a chance of someone having that mentality.
@AmokBR My problem with OC is that, although it CAN be a deterrent, the bad guy can see it and eye it up too before you know he's a bad guy... the friendly guy behind you in line at the grocery store who is a convicted felon can eye up your firearm and plan how to take it. How much training in weapon retention do you really have? Have you practiced what to do when someone has their hand on your gun... practiced with a live person? If you have and you are on your game, go for it. If not, go CC.
@AmokBR Concealed carry is a better deterrent. With open carry, the criminals no exactly who has the guns and who doesn't. Criminals will target those without guns and avoid those with guns. Concealed carry means anyone they attack has the possibility of being the one who fires back. Once one criminal is killed by a concealed carrier, word on the street will spread that being a criminal is more dangerous than it used to be when concealed carry was not allowed.
@Thatmakessense356 - I have a CCW in Florida, carry every day everywhere ( Except Work... Without the job I can't buy ammo ;) ) CCW is so popular here in Florida but criminals aren't slowing down. A crook's a crook, when things get dangerous they either become more cautious or go after easier scores. It's sad.
@AmokBR They are both pretty equal of a deterrent. If you had the intention of robbing a store, and saw people armed in there you most likely wouldn't. If you had the same intention, saw no armed citizens, but knew concealled carry was legal you have to wonder how many people have a gun, and would most likely shy away. That being said open carry is more dangerous. If an assaliant saw one or two citizens with an open carry gun they become the target.
@chestthumperarchery However if the assaliant sees no citizens with a gun, such as in concealed carry, everyone can be a threat. Any one of the citizens can have a gun, so no specific person is a target.
@AmokBR Concealed carry is better because people don't freak out. Out of sight, out of mind. lol Criminals conceal carry all the time. Why can't we? The Constitution does not say it has to be open carry. "Bear" means have them on your person. "Keep" means you may have them in your house or "castle".(refer to castle doctrine law) "Shall not be infringed" means the gov't or any gov't punk can not do anything about it legally. 4 years infantry, now I'm a lawyer. lmfao
@AmokBR Criminals have the luxury of surprise. Why would you give up that advantage. Fear of the unknown is much more powerful. One of the greatest advantages is knowing your targets defenses. Calling it insane is just uninformed hyperbole.
In concealed carry criminals have to worry about everyone.
In open-carry-only criminals only have to worry about those that carry. If I don't see a gun on you, then I pick you as my victim...
@AmokBR it also makes you a target. some guy comes into a convenience store at 2 in the am while you're stopping for gas on your family vacation, and he sees you have a gun on your side. you sir, just got shot.
but if you have it concealed, you can simply wait for the guy to turn and then you are free to do what you need to do. either shoot him if necessary, or take him down some other way.
@AmokBR It works both ways though, there was an incident a year ago, in Richmond Virginia where a guy by the name of Blaine Tyler was shot with what is suspected to be his own weapon. Now while this is rare, and I'm not saying that CCW beats open carry (I CCW personally) you just have to look on both sides.This is just one example of what can go wrong with open carry. Just don't close yourself off from CCW and look at both sides clearly.
@AmokBR are you saying that concealed carry is insane? open carry often does act as a deterrent, but if it ever doesnt it lets your attacker know you have a gun putting you at a disadvantage.
@AmokBR .....I prefer concealed carry because the less ppl that know i have a gun is better. If im in a bank in line and someone comes in to rob it and sees I have a gun then I become threat #1 to them, and also target #1.
Definitly, I know americans love their guns but cmon open carry ? People don't wanna see guns, not normal people, when i see a police man i feel intimidated by the gun, i don't want to be intimidated by my neighbour.. Beating that only a 5 year old shooting a 50 cal. machine gun AND being allowed to spread the message on Youtube.
@AmokBR A robber walks into a bank, and everyone is openly carrying a pistol. Think he will rob that bank, or the one that doesn't allow open carry? HMMMMM.
@asleeperj A robber walks into a bank and neither does he, nor the people in the bank, except security have a gun because the gun laws are stricter. Do you think he will rob the bank without a gun?
@tm868686 Heroin is illegal. Nobody can get there hands on that.... right??? Trillion dollar drug war, and still there are things on the street like heroin, weed, cocaine, ect. Worked wonders didn't it. Warren V DC it is not the states job, nor cops, to protect you. So the robber could walk in there and a cop could be in line, and say, eh i wont stop him today, the bank has no legal recourse. Make guns completely illegal, and all you will do is put them in the hands of the criminals.
@tm868686 He will still have a gun through some illegal means very easily... Don't be so naive... I have a right to defend myself against people who do not respect the law.. Against people who wouldn't respect laws against firearms.. Against people who potentially pose a threat to my family and to myself, their provider.. God has given me this right, and in a free
@asleeperj --- country this human right to defend ourselves against oppression, or those that may threaten us, is being infringed upon by naivety in our generations that do not enjoy reading ANYTHING in a history book. To be anti-gun is to be uneducated @asleeperj .....
@jasonluzak HAHAHA. Totally correct. Criminals, at the very basics of being a defined criminal, don't care about laws, that's why they break them. They are criminals.

Blanchard Oklahoma authorities don't plan to file charges against an Oklahoma woman (18 year old Sarah Mckinley) who fatally shot a New Year's Eve intruder at her house while she had a 911 dispatcher on the phone, but the intruder's alleged accomplice has been charged in the death.
Oklahoma law allows the use of deadly force against intruders, and prosecutors said McKinley clearly acted in self-defense. According to court documents, Martin was holding a knife when he died.

IMHO open vs. concealed carry is a debate that can likely only be resolved via statistics. There are pros and cons to each carry method. Open carry makes the weapon more accessible both to the armed citizen and unfortunately the criminal. Concealed carry means no deterant effect because the would be criminal wouldn't know you're armed until after the fact so may attempt to victimize you whereas choosing an easier victim if they knew you were armed. Personally, I think open carry is better.

@AmokBR Concealed carry is a better deterrent. With open carry, the criminals no exactly who has the guns and who doesn't. Criminals will target those without guns and avoid those with guns. Concealed carry means anyone they attack has the possibility of being the one who fires back. Once one criminal is killed by a concealed carrier, word on the street will spread that being a criminal is more dangerous than it used to be when concealed carry was not allowed.

@AmokBR They are both pretty equal of a deterrent. If you had the intention of robbing a store, and saw people armed in there you most likely wouldn't. If you had the same intention, saw no armed citizens, but knew concealled carry was legal you have to wonder how many people have a gun, and would most likely shy away. That being said open carry is more dangerous. If an assaliant saw one or two citizens with an open carry gun they become the target.

@AmokBR It works both ways though, there was an incident a year ago, in Richmond Virginia where a guy by the name of Blaine Tyler was shot with what is suspected to be his own weapon. Now while this is rare, and I'm not saying that CCW beats open carry (I CCW personally) you just have to look on both sides.This is just one example of what can go wrong with open carry. Just don't close yourself off from CCW and look at both sides clearly.

@AmokBR No it doesn't. The bad guy is gonna say ohh look he has a gun, ima go behind him and shoot him then take his gun and money.

@AmokBR are you saying that concealed carry is insane? open carry often does act as a deterrent, but if it ever doesnt it lets your attacker know you have a gun putting you at a disadvantage.

@AmokBR .....I prefer concealed carry because the less ppl that know i have a gun is better. If im in a bank in line and someone comes in to rob it and sees I have a gun then I become threat #1 to them, and also target #1.

Definitly, I know americans love their guns but cmon open carry ? People don't wanna see guns, not normal people, when i see a police man i feel intimidated by the gun, i don't want to be intimidated by my neighbour.. Beating that only a 5 year old shooting a 50 cal. machine gun AND being allowed to spread the message on Youtube.
F world we're living in.

@AmokBR A robber walks into a bank, and everyone is openly carrying a pistol. Think he will rob that bank, or the one that doesn't allow open carry? HMMMMM.

@asleeperj A robber walks into a bank and neither does he, nor the people in the bank, except security have a gun because the gun laws are stricter. Do you think he will rob the bank without a gun?

@tm868686 Heroin is illegal. Nobody can get there hands on that.... right??? Trillion dollar drug war, and still there are things on the street like heroin, weed, cocaine, ect. Worked wonders didn't it. Warren V DC it is not the states job, nor cops, to protect you. So the robber could walk in there and a cop could be in line, and say, eh i wont stop him today, the bank has no legal recourse. Make guns completely illegal, and all you will do is put them in the hands of the criminals.

@tm868686 You cannot legislate outcomes, to think so is an incorrect conceit.

@tm868686 The robber will have a gun anyways, if he's going to do somthing as ballsy as rob a bank, he will have a illgegaly obtained gun.

@tm868686 He will still have a gun through some illegal means very easily... Don't be so naive... I have a right to defend myself against people who do not respect the law.. Against people who wouldn't respect laws against firearms.. Against people who potentially pose a threat to my family and to myself, their provider.. God has given me this right, and in a free

@asleeperj --- country this human right to defend ourselves against oppression, or those that may threaten us, is being infringed upon by naivety in our generations that do not enjoy reading ANYTHING in a history book. To be anti-gun is to be uneducated @asleeperj .....

@asleeperj a robber walks into a bank and doesn't have a gun. Because he has a job instead.

@jasonluzak HAHAHA. Totally correct. Criminals, at the very basics of being a defined criminal, don't care about laws, that's why they break them. They are criminals.
