I've been watching non-top videos of cops detaining and questioning citizens for open carry. And every time they say something along the lines of "Well we've stopped you because you're carrying a gun, people can see you carrying a gun and that scares people" And the only thing I can think to myself is.. "wow" now you know what citizens feel like when they see a cop walking around with a gun on his hip.
Here's a Canadian point of view. These people are'nt exercising their 2nd ammendment right.They're exercising their 1st.Open carry is a 1st ammendment expression of the 2nd ammendment.
@ruiferreira89 you're an idiot, i didnt see a group of trigger-happy over-reacting people, i saw a group who seem like responsible individuals who decide to enjoy their right to open carry. people like you are like retarded sheep, guns dont magically kill people, someone has to make the decision to point it at someone and pull the trigger. just like cars dont magically run people over, someone has to be in the driver seat...
@splatterYOURbeak Say whatever you want. It is not my fault if you don't realise a car is a transportation machine and a gun is made for killing.
People like me are highly trained soldiers. Why should I presume every person that owns a gun will be responsible and never use unnecessary force? No wonder the US are the most violent western country of all.
@ruiferreira89 in most states you need to undergo a background check to buy a gun, just like you need to get a drivers license. maybe for someone like you guns are only "made for killing" but for me they are nice for shooting at paper and cans, yes if someone enters my home and threatens my life i may have to use it to kill them...and have you never heard of war crimes? friendly fire? i dont trust a "highly trained" soldier like you any more than an average citizen...
@ruiferreira89 with that attitude driving shouldnt be allowed, if someone were to go on a rampage a SUV could cause much more damage and take many more lives then a pistol...
@splatterYOURbeak Your analogy is absurd. A gun won't bring wood from the forest, or take your kids to school, or yourself to the supermarket. People don't generally make a living out of owning a gun, while many people do make a living out of driving.
The rampaging SUV is absurd because cars just aren't made to destroy or kill. They are made for transportation only, just as guns are made and optimized to kill. Friendly fire is not intentional. It is accidental.
@ruiferreira89 i agree that guns generally are made to kill and vehicles have much more purposes than guns, but vehicles do have the potential to cause much more death than handguns...last time i checked the death count due to vehicle accidents in the U.S was much higher than the count of gun related deaths be they intentional or accidental...theres no such thing as an accident when dealing with guns, if friendly fire happens its cause someone didnt check who they were shooting at...
@splatterYOURbeak Last time you checked, millions of vehicles were circulating every day, some just about to crash by driver error, mechanical failure, road defects, etc. There are a million ways cars can cause death, but most times, cars crash with no injuries. Guns have little to fail, but people are often driven by emotion, instinct or other irrational thoughts. It is easy to kill with a gun when you're scared, angry, desperate or suffering sudden mental/emotional disorder.
@ruiferreira89 its just as easy to kill while driven by emotion with a vehicle...you keep bringing things up that either have nothing to do with or completely back up my point that bottom line is it all comes down to personal responsibility. see the way i see it is if some guy goes crazy and walks into a crowded mall with a pistol, he may kill 5-10 people before hes grabbed and subdued, the same person does it with an SUV and you may not stop him until he's ran out of gas chasing people down
@splatterYOURbeak Do you think that hypothetical lunatic shoud have gun instead, so he would have something made for killing that he can use to full effect on innocent people, instead of owning a vehicle that might be misused?
If you want to argue that guns protect Americans rights, I'd have to laugh at that as not once has a US government been overthrown by the people, even though all generations are sent to war and rights are being taken away at an alarming rate.
@ruiferreira89 you're still missing the point, it doesnt matter if hes using a gun or a vehicle...whether or not something was made to kill or not isnt the issue its that if you want to question the right of people to own one potentially life threatening device then you need to question the right to own ANY device or machine with the potential to cause harm to people...that means cutlery, vehicles, and just about anything useful in life...
@ruiferreira89 and about the american rights statement...i cant argue there, but guns have absolutly no play in that so i dont know why you brought it up... its my opinion that my country is doomed because we are devided in just about every aspect, and honestly i just dont think democracy works, maybe if people were a little better at coming to a compromise it would work but theres just too many big headed idiots with big ideas and big opinions.
@splatterYOURbeak With new technologies, cars can stop by themselves before running a pedestrian over or crashing into another vehicle. Fighting with a knife is completely different, as one has to come into close contact. Using a knife to successfully kill someone demands more skill and reflexes than shooting across the room.
I mentioned American's rights because many seem to believe guns protect the people from the government, yet Americans never revolt against it.
@ruiferreira89 people like you need to lose this "guns are for trained people" attitude and learn about personal responsibility, if you dont trust yourself around guns then fine but most people can learn and understand the mechanical aspects of their weapon, understand when it is able and unable to fire, understand how to safely operate and handle the weapon...so on and so on...just like a vehicle...
I live in the "great" state of New York. We can't open carry and no I don't live in the city! I live in Chemung county where it is hard to even get a permit to own a hand gun for target. It took me 3 1/2 months to get my none carry permit in 2004 and I hear it is up to 6 months now. If I want to carry I have to beg a judge to amend my permit and I need a reason like store owner that makes money drops at night. I need a new state to live in!!! Gaaaass
@orangedaddy1 come to colorado. U can open carry, own machine guns, silencers and with a clean record, conceal carry. I live in Colorado Springs, home of the famous Dragon Man!!
I support the people's right to open carry, but honestly, I'm not sure I ever would. For one thing, I'd prefer not to deal with the inconvenience of being hassled by LEOs. For another, I think that if you are carrying for defense, there is an advantage to carrying concealed. If someone were to enter an establishment with the intent of doing harm and saw me open carrying, their first strike might be to shoot me first. Just my opinion. If you have a diferent one, feel free to voice it.
Alot of ppl have forgotten or never learned the reasons and events that inspired the constitution.Rights have allways been a use or loose situation.Open carry ppl are simply trying to remind ppl of their rights as human beings and no right is any more or less important than the other.Limiting the rights of the ppl wether it be free speech, possesion of a weapon,or right not to be searched has never in the history of the world led to a positive outcome for the ppl ofany society
In short the more ppl that activly reserve all their rights under the law. The harder it becomes to ignore and trample those rights.
As for singling your self out to criminals as a target. It is posable but unlikely. My basis for this opinion is that most criminals select targets of opertunity.The path of least resistance
. Much like why places usualy dont get robbed while a uniformed officer is presant or during high traffic hours. why mess with it when you can go some where easier. As is the nature of the world there are allways exceptions to the rule. Heck ther have evan been cases of lone police being robbed in uniform. stupid but has happened
This was well done, and thankfully they didn't find any nuts to latch on to. The large gentleman had it right, it's a tool to carry and be used carefully.
Would I ever open carry? Perhaps not in the run of every day life, though I can easily understand the uses and appropriate times. I think for the most part, my 1911 will stay in its drawer.
its one of those RIGHTS for everyone in america. im not an american but when in the usa. i love the right to bear here we are not so free. it is a terrible shame
I concealed carry everyday, but i cant understand why wou would want to carry with (i assume) a round in the chamber and the hammer all the way back? If you want to carry with a round in the chamber, why not drop the hammer???? I guess i just dont want to blow my balls off xD
@556diplomacy i ccw to not gonna open carry i would rather ppl not know im armed and as far as your question goes thats how most people carry 1911s in called condition one or locked and cocked meaning the saftey is on and the hammer is cocked . virtually all 1911s are single action meaning the hammer has to be pulled back for them to fire
@BigNate021690 yes I understand, my concealed carry is a Springfield armory 1911 ultra compact w/ crimson trace laser grips... I keep a round in the chamber, but drop the hammer... I think it would be to easy for that little thumb saftey to get snagged on clothing or something, and then its really just one mechanism that would have to fail for it to go off inadvertanly... murphys law ya know? I find i can draw and pull hammer back in one motion... If you have a hammer like that I will use it...
There is no modern gun out there that will go off without you pulling the trigger and "blow your balls off".
If one day you have to use your gun, you may only have enough time to pull the trigger, not enough to get it ready to fire, in that case you will be DEAD!
@Breakneckhydra1 I can pull the hammer and draw just as fast as i can draw. I mean one thing everyone is taught is not to trust mechanical safetys, but if the hammer is dropped there is no way for it to impact the pin to go off, even if safteys fail. To each his own i guess.. =) Springfield 1911 Ultra compact w/ Crimson Trace laser grips here...
@Breakneckhydra1 Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.
hmm, I for one is not intimidated by handguns or any gun for that matter. would I own one? nah, my wife is scared of them. maybe I should take her to a gun range.
Take the handguns, I dont want to walk around with people with a loaded weapon. We can own a hundgun and a rifle that's good enough for me. This isnt the wild west anymore folks.
@SequelFinalNight Then you submit to criminals. "people with a loaded weapon" walking around you would be LAW ABIDING CITIZENS open carrying. Criminals hide their STOLEN guns before using them on defenseless people like you.
Back in the wild west, if someone wanted to fight you or shoot you, they would step outside, away from innocent people, and duke it out with honor, now a days a hood rat will run up on you, stab you, take your money, and run off!
WELL FUCK YOU, AND FUCK THEM!
I'll carry my gun all I want, AND YOU CANT STOP ME!
Because NC is a Gold Star State, do I need a Concealed weapon permit to Open Carry? Or, do I need no permit at all to open carry a handgun besides the permit to purchase a handgun?
@KirkGaming Just do a search for your state's Handgun Carry laws. Here in TN you have to have a permit, but they are trying to change that to where law abiding citizens don't have to pay for their 2nd Amendment Rights, so they can just go in buy a pistol with a background check and walkout with it on their hip. I had to pay $215 for my right to carry. Four states have this no pay open carry law I forget which four at the moment, unfortunately. TN I hope is the fifth.
The people in this Video will probably NEVER be confronted by a REAL treat. To be honest, I don't think they know what the Founding Fathers classified as a Real Threat. You have to understand. England was the most power Government on Earth at the time The Second Amendment was written.
I like how he trys to Say "Difrent Rules in that Time as if we some how Got rid of the Second amendment between then and now heheheh totaly trys to play with you head with that statment... no no Jack ass the Rules Never Changed the Second Amendment has always been there...
Heres more corrupt cops in PA go to you tube Erie Parties/ Joel Atkin my son is doing 17 to 34 years for self defence that turned to murder because the kid my son was forced to shot was a relative of a cop.
7:03 that's such a stupid comment by the newscaster... what's to keep someone from pulling a gun at their gathering and "take everyone with him"? I don't know. Maybe the realization that there's plenty of people there to turn a gun on the "nutjob." Dense liberal reporter.
"Under the current regulation, firearms are generally prohibited, but citizens may transport unloaded and dismantled or cased firearms and carry firearms while participating in approved hunting programs and under certain other circumstances," Interior spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff said in a statement released minutes after President Obama signed the credit card holders' bill of rights, which includes an amendment allowing firearms at the nation's National Parks and wildlife refuges.
Wow. Where I live, it's always been open carry and nobody gives it a second thought. You see a lot of people walking through the store or mall or at a restaraunt with a firearm holstered on their side. I guess im just so used to it being this way that I never think about other states making an issue of it. Here you can have a gun on your side and talk to a police officer and nothing is even mentioned about your gun. Unless maybe the cop likes it and wants to talk about firearms. lol.
obama is a pile of shiz prez,thats why,he is no dif then bush,well maybe a little obama is weak very weak,yes we can more like no we cant,ill take my side arm anyplace i can,why cause so many crazy ass people and people that will rob kill you,protect your self.
I felt this particular story was quite well-done. Although they didn't come out sounding terribly "pro-gun," they didn't sound anti-gun either. It actually sounded pretty balanced, and if it were to be criticized, one could say they didn't offer much of an anti-gun opinion.
I'd consider that a good thing, since the last thing we need is some "expert" sounding intellectual while he explains why the 2nd Amendment should be ignored.
Nothing like your local police department not supporting the 2nd amendment for law abiding citizens. Had the police department gone out there while ABC was there, it would have been a great PR opportunity for them. Bottom line, the constitution was written for the people. Not for a police state.
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.
This country was founded by our founding fathers by three thing's, GUNS, GOD and COURAGE. If our founding fathers shared the same feelings towards guns as "AmericansAnnoyMe" does, I would be flying the Ukon Jack flag and speaking with an English accent today. I think I'm changing my screen name to " NONAmericansAnnoyMe".
To "AmericansAnnoyME". To bad the statistics showing how many crimes were FOILED because of a firearm being present will never be mentioned. I'm confident that it far out way's your stats on guns used in suicide and domestic violence. Let me ask you this, the amount of people killed in drunk driving related accidents every year in this country is much higher then your gun stats. Why isn't there a push to band motor vehicles and go back to horses, or better yet, ban alcohol.
Why would this guy ask the local news station what they think? What a goober! Who cares what the news station thinks? The constitution applies to guns as much as free press. Geez!
Yeah.... because everyone needs a gun while eating hamburgers....
american gun culture is so sad and pathetic. Look at all those people, bunch of sad losers who have nothing else in their lives to protest.
30,000+ people die every year because of guns in the USA. A gun is 20 times more likely to be used for suicide or domestic violence than to stop an attack.
@AmericansAnnoyMe quit making up statistics moron! over 2.5 million people per year in the U.S. defend themselves against murder, rape, robbery and other crimes. What are you going to do? Defend yourself with a butter knife? If you don't like the 2nd amendment, then don't participate it in by demonizing those that have a right to carry and defend themselves. Gun Free Zones have the highest crime rates! Do your research before spitting out lies just because you don't like guns.
@AmericansAnnoyMe You are just pissed because we can have guns and you can't! All of these people in this video are hard working good folks that like to make sure EVERYONE knows not to fuck with them! What is really pathetic is some pinhead like you wants everyone to lay down and just do what "the man" says! We aren't punks and we defend ourselves from assholes like you. Guns don't think, so how could they be dangerous? Its the hand that its in, that makes it dangerous or not! You be the victim!
Quite the ASSumption you're making. Guns kill people. People with guns kill people more easily. Access to guns allows people to kill. Logic rules the day. Your NRA talking points lack logic.
well ABC, Way to try to make them look like idiots and failing. Rights are rights. it's More unconstitutional for the states and cities that ban open carry. I'm voting Ron Paul for that reason. Time to get our constitutional rights back.

The Bill of Rights does not contain a list of rights that are given to the American people by the government. Instead it provides a list of the rights that are inherently ours, and they can’t be taken away by the government. M Connelly 2011
The Nutjob question was so blatantly stupid! Its' more likely a Nutjob will aquire a gun himself to cause mayhem instead of attempt snatching a weapon off somebody's holster, especially amongst other armed people!
@Grutch I read about a story a couple of weeks ago where a guy had his gun stolen from him, by two other guys, one of whom had a gun. I TOTALLY support concealed carry, but I think open carry is stupid. With concealed carry, criminals dont know who may or may not be armed; with open carry its obvious. And I think it DOES make you a target for someone that wants to steal a gun. And just in case you were wondering, yes, I own a .22cal semi-auto handgun and an AR-15 carbine. :-D
@SirReptitious The problem with concealed carry is that by the time you realize you need to use your weapon it is too late to reach for it. Criminals generally use weapons of some sort to give themselves leverage over their vitim. They catch their victim by surprize putting them in an indefensible position as quickly as possible. The moment they so much as think you might be reaching for a weapon they strike. Open carry deters potential attackers who are either not as well armed or confident.
@SirReptitious Remember the way to win a fight is not to be better equipped then your enemy or even to be more skilled then him in fighting. It is to break his will to fight. Open carry does this often before a potential enemy chooses to attack. Granted even this will not deter every criminal as some are such hardened criminals that they have no regaurd even for their very own life, however, such criminals are few and nothing else will deter them either.
@MrAwsome514 I agree with what you said, but also with what I said. There is not ONE situation or ONE possible outcome. So we are both right since both of those things can/do happen. As for response time with concealed carry, you need to PRACTICE drawing your gun by having friends/family surprise you(not in public!) while you carry your gun empty at home and their houses. Obviously you also must have a holster that you can access easily,thats not under 3 layers of clothes. ;-)
@SirReptitious The problem is if the attacker allready has his gun out and in your face then by the time you draw your gun and raise it to him he will have allready opened fire startled by the sudden movement. This is how they managed to steal the gun from the open carrier. He was caught offguard and left with no choice but to surrender his weapon because drawing it to defend himself would only result in his death.
@SirReptitious If he had been a concealed carrier and they had been after something else the story would pretty much be the same. He still would have been caught off guard and he still would have only been putting himself in more danger by drawing his weapon. Your argument is that the open carry drew the attackers to him for his weapon but these guys would have likely been more then willing to steal anything else of value that they saw him with.
@TheUsmc29 & @countrysamurai Just to clarify, federal law requires you to be 21 to purchase a handgun, 18 for a rifle/shotgun, however, the legal age to open carry varies by state. For Montana and Alaska it's 14, Vermont 16, Louisiana 17, New Mexico 19, Wyoming and Missouri have no age limit. Only 9 states require you to be 21 to open carry, with the rest that allow open carry requiring you to be 18. 7 states and DC do not allow open carry at all. You don't have to own the gun you're carrying.
@1ZombieRob that's exactly what has happened in the UK, with the tiny exception of rifles for killing pests on farms basically - but you can't carry them
@KillaYukon Not correct...name one place where there has been a shooting and a person who was open carrying was targeted? There is not one. Criminals are lazy...following the path of least resistance and will go to a place where they think there are no guns, IE less of a threat.This also comes under the rule of situational awareness...seeing a crime starting before you become the victim.
I think...more that open carry...the better.
You have more of a chance of being targeted while concealed.
What liberal bias in the piece. Banjo music and what looked like a picture of the Hatfields and the McCoys? Then the ridiculous question of "What if a nut grabbed one of your guns?" Sure, it' possible, but statistics don't seem to support it happening but on the rarest of occasions. Libs = willfully uninformed.
Most of them are quite tubby. Go on a diet. Dieing from fatness related diseases is a far more likely outcome than being attacked by some vicious hoodlum. "Retention holders" MMMkay. Police get their guns taken from them all the time. These slobs are not any better off than a cop.
@Friedstuffsable Hey man - Police get their guns taken from them all the time? Please site some statistics on that. That is simply not true. Slobs are not better than a cop? I shoot IDPA which is a tactical shooting compeitiion. Cops show up frequently and they are the worst shooters out there! People that have enough sand to open carry or carry at all care enough to be proficient with their weapons. Check out some stats. You will be surprised! Gun people are fat sometimes - so are cops!
@orastreet You're honestly going to convince yourself that police don't get killed with their own guns? Okay, this is the problem with the human race. They can convince themselves of anything so long as it fits their preconceived idea of what reality is. Cops get killed with their own guns AND THAT IS A FUCKING FACT. Want stats? You're sitting at a computer. I'm not your statistician. Curtis Michael Allgier, ever heard of him? He took a cops gun at a hospital and shot him in the face.
@TwiztidJuggla420 Someone out there probably does practice that. You know what gun 70% of police in the United States have in their holsters? Glocks, and if not a Glock, a pistol close to it with no manual safeties. They are pull and shoot. I'd venture to say they all carry with a round chambered too. There is always someone bigger & stronger out there. Once they get right up on a guy, if they want that gun they can get it. If the carrier has his hands full or is distracted, it is over.
@ericsyutubeaccount Did I refer to the holster by a name? NO, NO I didn't. Learn to read before you clack away with your little rat claws. If the user can remove the pistol, an assailant can remove the pistol, it isn't rocket science, fuckin' shill.
@ericsyutubeaccount Yeah, & all I said was "Cops carry Glocks" with absolutely no reference to type of holsters at all. Then you replied: "DOH they are called level three holsters" That makes you an asshole, just looking to argue. I know, me pointing out that these slobs could be disarmed probably rubbed you the wrong way. But it is a fact. I'm sure you realized that you & just as much of a slob as the old farts in this video, & could be disarmed too. Sorry to burst your little fantasy world.
@Friedstuffsable ok since you seriously know nothing about guns, heres what i was telling you, yes a lot of cops carry glocks which dont have manual safeties, but a lot of them carry them in level three holsters, which means there are three different mechanisms retaining them which all need to be activated, which means they are very very very difficult to get out if you havent trained with it, this makes the fact that glocks have no manual safeties irrelevant to bad guys taking cops guns
@BeergodHappy The point is concealed is better than open. It is a damn good point too. Some pretty strong, young male cops have have their guns taken & been killed by them. If a strong young guy who isn't all there in the head sees the gun on a feeble old fat woman's hip & decides he wants it, hes going to have it. Especially if they are in a crowded place where he could get close to them unnoticed.
@Friedstuffsable ...or more likely that same strong guy would bring his own gun already. This is reason I dont debate the concealed/open carry point. Somebody always thinks they have the answer to everyone else's situation. Concealed carry is more polite than open and that's why I prefer it but I still support Constitutional Carry laws. The individual should be allowed to choose.
@QuesoChino Yea but they convinced their people it was a good move by showing that gun crimes went down. This is the time to face palm... Ofcourse GUN crimes would go down because there would be fewer guns to go around, but every other kind of crime would go up drastically because there is now little or no risk to the criminal. And to think... the british think WE are the stupid ones.
Douchebag biased reporter couldn't get any controversy. And, SCOTUS affirmed gun owner rights, kicked DC and the rest of the liberal douchebag gun hating laws right out the door.
Its's rather silly how main stream media trys so damn hard to Dumb down amerians...start out saying its high noon''Ok so I'm thinking wild west duel..And then they say sometime 2 guns are carried and failed to deliver on that shot..and then they try and have yu belive kids where running around playing.."bang-Bang" and show shome lil kid holstering a play gun...effe U ABC..keep your Jargon to yourselves.
"...longing for that bygone era, with its different set of rules about what you could hold in your hand or wear on your belt..." Fuck you and your bias. The rules aren't any different, we just like to pretend we're more civilized than our grandfathers were. The truth is we're the same greedy, angry, fearful apes with more destructive technology avaliable. And fact is that until the police can instantly transport to you when called you need to be able to take responsibility for yourself.

@ruiferreira89 you're still missing the point, it doesnt matter if hes using a gun or a vehicle...whether or not something was made to kill or not isnt the issue its that if you want to question the right of people to own one potentially life threatening device then you need to question the right to own ANY device or machine with the potential to cause harm to people...that means cutlery, vehicles, and just about anything useful in life...

@ruiferreira89 and about the american rights statement...i cant argue there, but guns have absolutly no play in that so i dont know why you brought it up... its my opinion that my country is doomed because we are devided in just about every aspect, and honestly i just dont think democracy works, maybe if people were a little better at coming to a compromise it would work but theres just too many big headed idiots with big ideas and big opinions.

@splatterYOURbeak With new technologies, cars can stop by themselves before running a pedestrian over or crashing into another vehicle. Fighting with a knife is completely different, as one has to come into close contact. Using a knife to successfully kill someone demands more skill and reflexes than shooting across the room.
I mentioned American's rights because many seem to believe guns protect the people from the government, yet Americans never revolt against it.
ruiferreira89 3 days ago
@ruiferreira89 people like you need to lose this "guns are for trained people" attitude and learn about personal responsibility, if you dont trust yourself around guns then fine but most people can learn and understand the mechanical aspects of their weapon, understand when it is able and unable to fire, understand how to safely operate and handle the weapon...so on and so on...just like a vehicle...

It took me 3 1/2 months to get my none carry permit in 2004 and I hear it is up to 6 months now. If I want to carry I have to beg a judge to amend my permit and I need a reason like store owner that makes money drops at night. I need a new state to live in!!! Gaaaass

I support the people's right to open carry, but honestly, I'm not sure I ever would. For one thing, I'd prefer not to deal with the inconvenience of being hassled by LEOs. For another, I think that if you are carrying for defense, there is an advantage to carrying concealed. If someone were to enter an establishment with the intent of doing harm and saw me open carrying, their first strike might be to shoot me first. Just my opinion. If you have a diferent one, feel free to voice it.

This was well done, and thankfully they didn't find any nuts to latch on to. The large gentleman had it right, it's a tool to carry and be used carefully.
Would I ever open carry? Perhaps not in the run of every day life, though I can easily understand the uses and appropriate times. I think for the most part, my 1911 will stay in its drawer.

I felt this particular story was quite well-done. Although they didn't come out sounding terribly "pro-gun," they didn't sound anti-gun either. It actually sounded pretty balanced, and if it were to be criticized, one could say they didn't offer much of an anti-gun opinion.
I'd consider that a good thing, since the last thing we need is some "expert" sounding intellectual while he explains why the 2nd Amendment should be ignored.

@Grutch I read about a story a couple of weeks ago where a guy had his gun stolen from him, by two other guys, one of whom had a gun. I TOTALLY support concealed carry, but I think open carry is stupid. With concealed carry, criminals dont know who may or may not be armed; with open carry its obvious. And I think it DOES make you a target for someone that wants to steal a gun. And just in case you were wondering, yes, I own a .22cal semi-auto handgun and an AR-15 carbine. :-D
SirReptitious 3 months ago
@SirReptitious The problem with concealed carry is that by the time you realize you need to use your weapon it is too late to reach for it. Criminals generally use weapons of some sort to give themselves leverage over their vitim. They catch their victim by surprize putting them in an indefensible position as quickly as possible. The moment they so much as think you might be reaching for a weapon they strike. Open carry deters potential attackers who are either not as well armed or confident.
MrAwsome514 3 months ago
@SirReptitious Remember the way to win a fight is not to be better equipped then your enemy or even to be more skilled then him in fighting. It is to break his will to fight. Open carry does this often before a potential enemy chooses to attack. Granted even this will not deter every criminal as some are such hardened criminals that they have no regaurd even for their very own life, however, such criminals are few and nothing else will deter them either.
MrAwsome514 3 months ago
@MrAwsome514 I agree with what you said, but also with what I said. There is not ONE situation or ONE possible outcome. So we are both right since both of those things can/do happen. As for response time with concealed carry, you need to PRACTICE drawing your gun by having friends/family surprise you(not in public!) while you carry your gun empty at home and their houses. Obviously you also must have a holster that you can access easily,thats not under 3 layers of clothes. ;-)
SirReptitious 3 months ago
@SirReptitious The problem is if the attacker allready has his gun out and in your face then by the time you draw your gun and raise it to him he will have allready opened fire startled by the sudden movement. This is how they managed to steal the gun from the open carrier. He was caught offguard and left with no choice but to surrender his weapon because drawing it to defend himself would only result in his death.
MrAwsome514 3 months ago
@SirReptitious If he had been a concealed carrier and they had been after something else the story would pretty much be the same. He still would have been caught off guard and he still would have only been putting himself in more danger by drawing his weapon. Your argument is that the open carry drew the attackers to him for his weapon but these guys would have likely been more then willing to steal anything else of value that they saw him with.

Only 9 states require you to be 21 to open carry, with the rest that allow open carry requiring you to be 18. 7 states and DC do not allow open carry at all. You don't have to own the gun you're carrying.

@Friedstuffsable and my answer was its irrelevant whether or not you refered to it by name, because i said nothing about names
ericsyutubeaccount 4 months ago
@ericsyutubeaccount Yeah, & all I said was "Cops carry Glocks" with absolutely no reference to type of holsters at all. Then you replied: "DOH they are called level three holsters" That makes you an asshole, just looking to argue. I know, me pointing out that these slobs could be disarmed probably rubbed you the wrong way. But it is a fact. I'm sure you realized that you & just as much of a slob as the old farts in this video, & could be disarmed too. Sorry to burst your little fantasy world.

@Friedstuffsable ok since you seriously know nothing about guns, heres what i was telling you, yes a lot of cops carry glocks which dont have manual safeties, but a lot of them carry them in level three holsters, which means there are three different mechanisms retaining them which all need to be activated, which means they are very very very difficult to get out if you havent trained with it, this makes the fact that glocks have no manual safeties irrelevant to bad guys taking cops guns

@ericsyutubeaccount So is a gun the same thing as a holster? I think the correct put down would have been "you seriously know nothing about holsters"

@Friedstuffsable normally with gun knowledge comes holster knowledge

@BeergodHappy The point is concealed is better than open. It is a damn good point too. Some pretty strong, young male cops have have their guns taken & been killed by them. If a strong young guy who isn't all there in the head sees the gun on a feeble old fat woman's hip & decides he wants it, hes going to have it. Especially if they are in a crowded place where he could get close to them unnoticed.

@Friedstuffsable ...or more likely that same strong guy would bring his own gun already. This is reason I dont debate the concealed/open carry point. Somebody always thinks they have the answer to everyone else's situation. Concealed carry is more polite than open and that's why I prefer it but I still support Constitutional Carry laws. The individual should be allowed to choose.

That was a surprisingly pro gun report from the normally liberal folks at CBS.

Dont tell the Brits that. Many of them are in denial.

@QuesoChino Yea but they convinced their people it was a good move by showing that gun crimes went down. This is the time to face palm... Ofcourse GUN crimes would go down because there would be fewer guns to go around, but every other kind of crime would go up drastically because there is now little or no risk to the criminal. And to think... the british think WE are the stupid ones.

Douchebag biased reporter couldn't get any controversy. And, SCOTUS affirmed gun owner rights, kicked DC and the rest of the liberal douchebag gun hating laws right out the door.

"...longing for that bygone era, with its different set of rules about what you could hold in your hand or wear on your belt..." Fuck you and your bias. The rules aren't any different, we just like to pretend we're more civilized than our grandfathers were. The truth is we're the same greedy, angry, fearful apes with more destructive technology avaliable. And fact is that until the police can instantly transport to you when called you need to be able to take responsibility for yourself.

I think conceal carry is just easier, more convenient. I don't wanna be stopped by cops every day I leave the house.
