The Right To Bear Arms: Open Carry in Berkeley Ca. RIP BEAR

[busterhyman21]

that's a man wit a plan.

a nigga with a gun!

[kbwood7]

You just want attention. This vid is a disgrace to real gun owners. I conceal carry everyday because I want to protect myself, NOT to try to showoff like you. Pathetic

[kbwood7]

This video is homo un-erectus. Just because you have the right doesn't make it a good idea. Open carry is for scared bitches that need attention. I CONCEAL carry daily and nobody needs to see my gun for it to do it's job. Stop being a d-bag.

[pennsylvaniaboy87]

Kuddos to you man, great videos

[bigchicago01]

You are an idiot. Read the second amendment. "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" The right to a militia to help protect the country, written in a time when this was actually necessary. It says nothing about walking around with handguns in public. And what do you mean you have the right to stop government oppression? Are you going to just walk around and shoot at government officials?

[SoulShepherd84]

@bigchicago01 It is funny seeing you call the person in the video an idiot. It is YOU who remains ignorant of the second amendment, even after posting what it says. You must not be able to read between the lines.

[bigchicago01]

@SoulShepherd84 Read between the lines? you mean make shit up? Right, sorry I can't do that.

[tj13able]

Very nice vid

[ARGHm]

Excellent vid man

[ranondo92]

Props to this guy

[raustean]

I love You lil Bra!!!! R.I.P. i drop a tear everyday!!!! Shit you were not even old enough too drink!!!!! I Miss You BEAR!!!!!.

[macchef01]

I'm a huge liberal. which is why I believe in the right to bear arms. Keep doing this man. it's a great thing. I live in Illinois and we just got the right to posess handguns in cook county again and we are working diligently on open and concealed carry. Laws don't keep criminals from carrying guns.

[18bravoak]

thumbs up brother

[GeorgeLRockwell87]

This brother passed? RIP to him, and I respect what he was trying to do. Good to see a Black man respecting the 2nd Amendment and exercising his rights instead of the thugs going around using weapons to cause problems. It is a shame that this upstanding brother has left us, and a shame that open carry in California has also left us.

[forGodandCountry7]

@controversyking hahaha!!!!!!!!!!! I could care less about what color you are just so long as you know the law, are exercising it, and are a responsible citizen. I'm proud of anyone who would. :) Has nothing to do with race or color. I'm neither white nor black. Again, has nothing to do with color or race if you were assuming either. ;)

[sonikue23]

Can an American explain to me the whole gun thing in the us,what countries are gun friendly and what aren`t..?

[sonikue23]

RIP ?!

[doomedtoindoorranges]

Awesome video, as a firearm carrying, God and USA loving American I thank you for your support, God Bless The USA, You and Us all, Amen:)

[2204Alpha]

Notice what political party just made this illegal in California. the DEMOCRATIC party wants to disarm you and make you a slave to the police state in CA.

[dcollins90]

Glad to see this

[HumbleWillis]

Preach it!

[tashshawna]

rip

[Bladinho88]

In Brazil we dont have the right to carry guns, and is hard to buy one. Fuck brazil laws.

[NoGuff]

OPEN CARRY IS NOW ILLEGAL IN CALIFORNIA. Thanks to Governor Moonbeam and the anti-American Democraps in Sacramento taking away our rights.

HOORAY FOR FREEDOM!!!!

[callowaymotorcompany]

@controversyking And sorry, but it usually is a redneck doing this. A black person does this once in a blue moon. The normal looking white people who do what he did get told the same things as him.

Why are you so eager to start some kind of trouble between races?

[callowaymotorcompany]

@controversyking Thats not in the Constitution.

[1eu1]

never give up your 2nd amendment right, if you lose it you lose freedom.  I am from former Soviet Union, and civil people never had a right to bear arms there, that is why communist government did to the people what ever they wanted. Good job, you guys.

[forGodandCountry7]

Your exercising our rights man. Thank you so very much. No matter what retarded new gun laws may come into play, always always always keep and bear arms. You are keeping all of us alive man. Just keep doin what your doin. Respect to you.

[psyco94550]

Good man.

[silverton7777]

I agree with ohannadad

[silverton7777]

This doent mean a red neck cop want claim you reached for it and he had to shot you.

[ohannahdad]

@silverton7777 In most states, open carry = empty weapon. That's the law. Even a red neck cop probably wouldn't take the chance of shooting an open carry. That would make it appear as though he didn't know the law!!....and we couldn't have that now could we. One thing is for sure though. The cops don't like it. There is an equality balance that gets shifted when citizens carry firearms legally in public.They like it better when your "carrying" a pager, and they're "carrying" a 9MM.

[balf1111117373]

isnt the amendment there so you can protect yourself from dangerous animals in the old times, not trying to be funny i, from uk and have no idea?

[SupremeAp]

My brotha I respect it now im going to do dis in oak town we will c wat happens

[boksmutant]

Loved the video, man.

[CODproR19]

Who was BEAR?

[1337Flyboy]

Your in commiefornia open carrying? good luck. i got stopped 7 times in one day

[DRUNKiiPANDA]

Best open carry video hands down!!

[CODproR19]

"A right unexersiced is a right lost"

[georgetravis64]

nice song i like the jackas verse

[WONDOCTORJ]

Badass video!

This is a real fucking patriot!

Liberals sit down and take notes !

RON PAUL 2012 !

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ Im a liberal and pro gun.

Stfu about politics and enjoy the video.

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany Then you are a fake liberal.

Liberals need the government to take care of them, and waive all their rights on a daily basis to achieve government security.

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ I know exactly what i am you right wing nutjob. That government statement is rich considering conservatives whine about nothing but making more government control in peoples lives (cough cough, war in middle east, abortion, strict drug laws, gay marriage, strict everything laws need i go on?)

People of all walks of life and beliefs enjoy guns so shut the fuck up you bible thumping Yosemite Sam motherfucker.

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany I'm a libertarian, I am voting for Ron Paul, so that shit don't apply to me government lover.

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ Yikes, you arent even a republican and the republican stereotypes still fit you? Must be a drag to be you.

You do realize libertarianism is left wing, right? You do realize Ron Paul is a republican, right? Ugh you people ruin every election, you have no idea what the fuck your voting for.

I bet you voted for bush twice. Shithead.

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany No, republicans are warmongers for the military industrial complex.

Libertarianism is the opposite of left moron.

Left is for more government, programs, laws, regulations, and control, leading to socialism, communism, and democracy.

Right is for less government, leaning towards a REPUBLIC, which is what America was intended to be.

You don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

As far as Ron Paul being a Republican goes, he has to to get elected.

You are a dumb fuck.

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ Left = less control, regulations, war

Right = more control, regulations, war

What are you smoking? More like what have you been smoking for the last 50 years?

Libertarianism is inherently left you idiot. Its a step up from anarchy. The right wing has always wanted more government control. The left has always wanted less.

Who cares what you label yourself as anyway, you fit all the republican stereotypes-your a republican.

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany right = less government and left = more government

you are a fucking moron

why do you think the left is always wanting more welfare and republicans want less

You need to google and youtube left and right

Do I need to link shit for you too idiot?

please get the fuck out of my country, morons like you are the ones fucking it up with your lack of education

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ Wrong. Right wants Strict drug laws. No freedom to abortion. No freedom of belief (war on all communism anyone?) Less personal freedom (war on drugs and plants) Left is the opposite of that.

Pretty much the only parts of government that republicans want less of are related to money and giving it to people who may or may not need it. Obviously your braindead or just painfully ignorant.

Retarded redneck piece of shit. Who let your parents breed?

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany Dude, you are explaining the hijacked FAKE right wing, not the real right wing. Ron Paul would eliminate all drug laws, release anybody from jail for victimless crimes, end all wars, abolish the IRS and the federal reserve. ......

You watch too much propaganda tv.

Go do some research for yourself and quit listening to what douchebags on tv tell you.

Go research Ron Paul and listen to him speak.

Atleast go watch a fucking debate or somehting. SHIT !

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ One guy makes up all of right wing? RIIIIIIGHT. Sorry, your party is your party. Funny how you say the right wing is "hijacked" but the left MUST all be overly PC vegan hippies right? Moron.

The majority of my side is anti-govt. and the majority of yours is pro-govt. End of story.

Now fuck off.

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany I am with Ron Paul as a LIBERTARIAN trying to Hijack those republican neocons. Get an education fucktard, Ron Paul is the opposite of all those bankster shills. You don't know what you are talking about. RON PAUL 2012 ! END VICTIMLESS CRIMES END THE FAKE WAR ON DRUGS END THE FEDERAL RESERVE ABOLISH THE I.R.S. END ALL THE FAKE WARS IN OTHER COUNTRIES END THE PATRIOT ACT If you disagree with that shit, then you are a fucking moron.

[callowaymotorcompany]

@WONDOCTORJ Ron Paul's politics doesnt make you any less of a fucking retard. Personal attacks and avoiding the point? Typical republican.

Stop bashing your own party. Libertarian is Left.

NOW FUCK OFF.

[WONDOCTORJ]

@callowaymotorcompany Please, I want you to say that on every page "libertarian is left"

Tell ALL your friends, family, and acquaintances, that, Libertarianism is all the way exit stage left.

lmao......

Let me know what people tell your hard headed ass.

[kidcapri009]

Good Video

[TheMrlucky510]

Was this video filmed in berkeley?

[TheDagoWop]

@darbone actually pocketing your ammo could be considered by some cops to be concealment. It's happened before.

[MrDevenob]

its empty!

[xaqshuna2003]

Does anybody know how Bear was killed?

[hippiemagic123]

Good to see a young man in California taking his rights seriously.

[Coverbuster]

@ibtl1 ARFCOM asshole, way to TRY and be funny.

[hippiemagic123]

@ibtl1 No what we need are fewer ignorant douche bags like yourself!

[ibtl1]

@hippiemagic123 smoke your blunt, blow a nigger, and shut your filthy hippie mouth

[yayareaabc]

@ibtl1 this guy has an empty shell between his ears, grow up and stop being so damn ignorant

[TirumphantAce]

@ibtl1 It's times like this that I sometimes wonder about the wisdom of the first amendment. That's the only thing that allows knuckle dragging moral degenerates like yourself to speak your mind (if the grease smear that bubbles between your ears can be called that). Two things, called the 2nd amendment and the 14th amendment, reveal how stupid you must be.

[350cutlassrocket]

Wow just found this video. We need more people like this, not cocky at all and very well spoken. I primarily conceal carry just to avoid any 'issues' in public even though here in Indiana we are a very gun friendly state and can either carry a handgun open or concealed with permit.

Very sad, this young man is no longer with us. R.I.P. :( Glad he left some great messages behind!

[alkalinecuban]

@350cutlassrocket What happened to him?

[matty86suk]

Cool vid, wish we had the 2a up here in Canada

[TheShadowz167]

I'm not being racist but you don't see many black men LEGALLY open carrying. Props to you.

[WoIfdog]

@TheShadowz167 People are stupid enough to illegally open carry? *facepalm*

[asc9nd]

great vid m8.

[chartrule]

what is the song used ?

[navyman8903]

Keep doing what you are doing man. And nice USP. Stay safe.

[diracismyhero]

Awesome man!

[booniecap101]

Keep up the good fight, man.  Lovin' it! This is an awesome slap in the face of racists and is a great way to fight back against the origin of a lot of gun control (ie a way to discriminate against blacks and keep them helpless)

[outshot40]

California needs guys like this who carry and support the 2nd amendment. Good job. Keep fighting.

[MrPissonyourgrave]

Its about time California let thier citizens be armed. Good job standing up for yourself! All of America must follow suite. Good choice in your weapon too, HK is very nice.

[darbone]

I don't think you should be carrying the clips on your belt. You do a great job at informing the public, but maybe baby steps. Just wearing a gun and carry a clip in your pocket may be less intimidating. I just think the public needs to be eased into the 2nd amd. too much hardware showing at once may defeat the purpose. people are less scared of a small side arm. You can carry the AK in a couple years, but for now keep the lessons small. my two cents.

[BillTheCat7]

@Jacobzladder I'd say God bless you, but HE already has. Keep up the good fight.

[Galenos1986]

It might be youre 2nd ammendment right to bear arms, but what you should do is use youre commensense. Some pranker could easily steal youre gun, because you carry the gun in plain sight! And what the hell do you do with those extra magazines anyways? Seriously, that is just provoking and scaring people, but maybe that was just the thing you wanted to do..

[littleo51]

@Galenos1986 Perhaps the people that are scared by him need to grow a pair and learn about the 2nd amendment. And since when was open carry not common sense? Some prankster could just as easily get the jump on you and rob you, concealed carry or not.

[Poonard]

@Galenos1986 maybe you're unwilling to protect yourself and those you love...maybe you need to educate yourself on the matter. common sense? have you looked around lately? TSA coming to feel up your mom, kids, and loved ones, police being allowed to break and enter without warrants here in Indiana...what do you think the 2nd amendment was there for? You have every right to simply bow down and get raped by tyrants, go ahead. haha

[throwawayglue]

@Galenos1986 that holster looked pretty secure

[jack47mhs]

nice vid bro

[c0ldfr33z3r]

@CaptainAmericaDude

 California law

[c0ldfr33z3r]

@CaptainAmericaDude California law

[MrDevenob]

im sure you need 3 clips to...

[jiminator2010]

It is better to have a tool and not need it. Than to have a problem and not have the tool fix the problem.

[seventi6]

You rock man! Our state/country needs more men like you exercising our rights in a respectful manner. The meter maid that stopped you said that open carry is something she's not accustomed too, and that is the problem here in CA. People don't know their rights and when people like you exercise them, they freak out and think your doing something wrong. WE need to make our fellow citizens accustomed and unafraid of our rights. Keep up the good work.

[wallerdanielle55]

Barrington you rock!

[triggerman357]

Great video, thanks for the representation.

[popson45]

Good Job Man !

[yangistan]

Haha the dude is in Cafe Roma at 1:20...

[sgonzo12]

inspiration man more dudes need to step up like him and take sum action puttin peace which is better than violence on the streets

[thedailyblazer]

This is also brings up the issue of gun ownership among black people. I have a feeling a lot of people thought he was up to no good, committing robberies and what not, while he was just legally carrying a gun. They've just passed a bunch of new laws here in Portland regarding gun control and to help curb gang violence. This means black gun owners here are targets for scrutiny only now there will be legal bounds for it. There is still an open carry law in Oregon, but these laws reek of racism.

[PeabodyNoodleson]

People always think that those of us who uphold our 2nd amendment are old, grumpy, right-wing rednecks. Thank you for expressing yourself in such a way, bro.

[ProjektLament]

@PeabodyNoodleson Hey! Whats wrong with being an old grumpy redneck?

[PeabodyNoodleson]

@ProjektLament HAHA! Nothing man... gun owners come in all shapes and sizes!

[donphonica]

Go ahead man! I live in Berkeley, and I've considered Open carrying here, but I've been worried about it, because the east bay is just completely not used to seeing firearms in public. It sure would be nice to have another person from Berkeley to meet up with

[jopoy456]

Amen!

[brooklynprepper]

You go bro

[Wolfe1944]

What the hell is she going to do, she's a fucking meter maid. lol

[Hudd1950]

Good job--well done video. Thank you.

[RangRing68]

Cheers to the 2nd and fuck all Liberals!

[tomperanteau]

Fascist moron police.

[grkgod1001180]

Funny how the meter maid is questioning him great vid.

[SgtEdwards]

As a VA LEO I love open carry, in VA you can have the magazine in the weapon just not a round in the chamber. Many store owners open carry revolvers...you notice their stores rarely get robbed.

[SgtEdwards]

I would like to add this is the first video of Jacobs that I have supported...

[GManKeepsltReaI]

Let's really look at what we have here people:

Some guy (possibly in Palo Alto) where it is safe, just trying to get attention. Let him walk around East Palo Alto, San Francisco or Oakland; and they will take that gun from him the thugs can always use a new gun. This is a scared little boy trying to act like he is bad. I would feel bad to walking around in a safe neigborhood with a gun!(

[asspop123]

@GManKeepsltReaI

you're stupid. 

[grkgod1001180]

@GManKeepsltReaI,College AVE is in Berkeley, Open Carry is active in SAN FRAN!!!!!

[tomperanteau]

@GManKeepsltReaI You see it like that? I guess you would have said the same about our forefathers. Good thing you weren't around back then or we'd still be kissing the king's ass.

He's exercising his rights. If you want to insult him, then you are a moron that does not deserve the rights that so many have died to ensure.

[xaqshuna2003]

@GManKeepsltReaI This same individual realized the threat out there. The chances of him having his gun taken is highly unlikely. It's very difficult to take it out of most holsters. Are you against open-carrying a firearm?

[Tack599]

Thank you! For my future and the future of my children, thank you!

[ScLeCo]

If I saw an armed black man in my neighborhood I'd go get my gun too.

[godofm3tal1]

While i do believe you are absolutely right, and im a gun owner/enthusiast myself, why on earth are you carrying 2 clips? id say a single 10 rounder would put enough holes in an assailant to give him second thoughts about continuing the assault... and being that this is real life, we rarely find ourselves in a position where we are fending off hoards of gang bangers... while i believe in open carry, i just think its best done with a small firearm and one load of ammo. less gaudy IMO

[BayAreaOpenCarry]

@godofm3tal1 -It's always good to carry a combat load.

[godofm3tal1]

@BayAreaOpenCarry "combat load"? That term is used to describe a soldiers full loadout... you gonna walk around with a full armor vest, canteen, rations, and medkit too? Carrying 2 mags is not harming anything. But its the equivalent of walking around with a Desert Eagle on your hip and 10 mags on your belt... over weight... over kill... and un necessary... if you need more than 10 rounds for self defense, perhaps you should take your gun to the firing range, and off your hip....

[dpcoronado]

@godofm3tal1

Better safe than sorry. It's his choice. Why don't you carry only one round in your "clip" if you're so hellbent on nitpicking this guy. At least he's standing up for the 2nd amendment.

And yes, people get assaulted by more than one person. Two of my co-workers (ladies) got surrounded and jumped last night by 1 girl and SIX guys. So...two rounds each is enough for them? They were strung out on crack. And this was in a "safe" area (if you really believe that place exists.)

[godofm3tal1]

@dpcoronado so as stated, i say we all walk around with a cannon on our hip and 10 clips around our waist so we can be prepared for the next time we get jumped by 6 guys. I think concealed carry is the best way, if you want to have a gun with you. But bottom line is nobody is going to give you a heads up about attacking you. This is suburbia. not a warzone. Nobody expects to be attacked. So tell me how having an unloaded gun and 2 mags on your waist is going to help against being jumped...

[armypenguin]

@godofm3tal1 because any competent person can load their handgun with a magazine in under a second. I do agree that california's laws are complete bullshit though.

[godofm3tal1]

@armypenguin uhm... no they cant... if you can get your gun out, your mag out, get it in the reciever in the fully locked position, crank the slide back and then aim it in "under" a second (rofl) hell.. ill give you 3 seconds to do it... then post a video up. to make it interesting, have one of your boys start kicking your ass before you start. Lets see how long "under a second" really is.

Carry loaded, or dont carry. fuck the government.

[armypenguin]

@godofm3tal1 i'll pass on the felony on my record and the big ass fine. Takes me about a second an a half without an empty mag in and 2 seconds with a empty mag in. Wasn't looking down sights at that point you'd be doing reflex shooting and general aim. If the guy is already kicking your ass then you've failed to stay aware of your surroundings and a gun isn't going to help a knife would be a much better option at that point. The under a second I was just starting from already drawn gun.

[godofm3tal1]

oh.. and just for shits and giggles... if you are being mugged/robbed/beaten/etc... and you have to reload your gun? Youre fucked from the start... this is reality, not a video game.. you cant run around reloading your gun with your thumb up your ass while getting your ass kicked..

[tomperanteau]

@godofm3tal1 And if you are not armed, then you are fucked from the start. Not a chance. At least if you are carrying, you have a chance. Or should we just yell at the robber and tell him to wait for the police?

[dpcoronado]

@godofm3tal1

Hope your shooting is better than your talk, because you totally MISSED the point. Your statement shows you're probably the one to get your as mugged/robbed/beaten/etc...bec­ause you don't EXPECT to be attacked. You don't have the mindset to carry a gun, open or concealed. Nonetheless, the 2nd amendment protects even pontificating keyboard commandos such as yourself. Do us all a favor, get some training in the proper mindset before you carry. White-Yellow-Red. Simple.

[godofm3tal1]

@dpcoronado My shooting is good enough. But I dont need to walk around town with an armory around my waist to prove that point. Im a boxer. And a rather large one at that. I cant see someone trying to mug me. If they did, they would probably be having a bad day. But thats just me... i dont see the need to kill everything that moves... i prefer the more "personal" touch...

[godofm3tal1]

@dpcoronado oh... and FYI. the 2nd amendment doesnt protect shit... it states "the right to bear arms".. not "firearms"... the government lets us walk around with exposed unloaded weapons because they know there is little we can do with them, and because if they dont, anyone could get thrown in jail for walking to the gun range with an unloaded gun and a bag of ammo. Its not designed for people to abuse for the purpose of carrying on a daily basis. Thats what CCWs, and OCWs are for. CA just sux

[mkkeele]

@godofm3tal1 Firearms are "arms." And don't try to say the founding fathers did not include firearms. They often speak of the importance of civilians keeping and bearing firearms to defend themselves against tyrants. Do a little research and you will see. Don't just listen to someone else's opinion. Read books and review some of the recent SCOTUS cases like District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago. Don't base you opinions on the media either.

[davids11131113]

'What makes you think you can just go walkin around carryin THOSE things for'??

Its my 2nd ammendment right to do so.

Oh.

[usmcbess]

Awesome video! Totally favorited. Make more!
