AK-47 Open Carry*** His response Post#97

[LACamper]

Video taping the ground is annoying.

He's definitely a douche.
Annoying local cops isn't good. People get paranoid when they see a gun. The media has demonized guns. Which means the cops get called. Which means they have to go investigate. Which keeps them from doing more important things.

Which brings up a point. I understand the OC crowd feels the need to OC to intentionally draw attention. What if, while an officer is busy discussing the legalities of OC with you, his buddy gets killed on a domestic call where he requested backup. You're taking up resources to prove a point. There are better ways to handle this.

I'm all for the legality of OC. I can remember my dad talking about taking the city bus to go shoot his .22 rifle when he was a teenager. Can you see that happening now? I appreciate the effort and risk the OC members are taking. They need to find better ways to do this though.

I can't believe his mom let's him keep his room such a mess

That video was .... just wow.

I bet he votes, too

There is not much she can do about it since he killed her 3 years ago and sleeps with her corpse on the sofa!!

This is a particular topic that I have steered away from commenting on because I knew my comments would offend some of you OCers. **** it, I’m speaking my mind. This particular topic has come up often on this board and I have yet to read a legitimate reason for OCing. I agree with NOLACOP, just because you can, does not mean you should. Having met a couple of OCers over the years, this is what I come away with after talking to them. They tend to be meek and weak without their guns, OCing seems to give them a sense of power and self worth. It brings them the attention that they long for. I think they get off on intimidating the general public, because the truth is, that is what OCing does, it intimidates people. Frankly, if I were one of the bad guys going into a place of business to cause some mayhem, if I saw someone inside that business OCing I’d just saunter on over and put a cap in their ass and go about the business I intended to conduct. Now for those of you who are going to flame me, keep in mind, this is just my opinion, it is neither right or wrong, it’s just my opinion. Let the fireworks begin.

Was it me, or did he make up a lot of **** that wasn't in the video?

I think he was talking about the original incident, not the one he recorded.

No need for fireworks, it's just your mere opinion.

I simply find it humorous yet disturbing how disgusted people get over someone else doing something Lawful. I don't associate this guy with your daily OC.er so I'm able to see things differently I guess.

I'm not sure I'd classify this person as the "typical OCer" (whatever that is).

I agree with Hitman- in that it's downright stupid for someone who's pro-gun to say that all men who openly carry guns in public (where legal) are attention-craving showboats with low self-esteem and small weiners (). The irony is that's exactly what the real enemies of our cause have been saying about ALL of us for years!

We have a really big problem in this country in that we are far too willing to lower the standard in order to meet the needs of those unwilling to learn the difference between right and wrong (and in this case- what is legal and what is not). That attitude just does not work- in pretty much anything.


No thanks; I'm not going there.

That pretty well sums things up.....

Yeah, what's a "typical" open carrier? I carry concealed every day but may carry openly when when situations change during the day and keeping the gun concealed would take efforts that I would consider too much hassle. Granted, I do this in high-tolerance environments and my intent is just to make things easy on myself, never to provoke reactions from others. Are the guys who shoot videos of themselves carrying openly really typical?

 

[Hitman]

Yeah, what's a "typical" open carrier?

I'd say just like any other RESPONSIBLE Gun owner UNLIKE the moron in the OP video here.

Here's a few fair examples;

The infamous Soccer mom incident;

It's easy to point out the RETARDS that OC. Just like it is easy to point out the retard LEO's. Bad Apples are always the ones talked about.

Yet there are PLENTY of Responsible Gun owning Americans who OC, and plenty of Responsible LEO's.

No one likes talking about them though, they're no fun

I posted that 'response' over in the ZS thread. Dude pointed out that the 'response' was uploaded like 6 months before the video we saw in the OP of this thread.

I was perplexed too.

Also I just realized... he was going on about "its not like I was wearing a turban going around shouting ALLAH ACKBAR" but.. his photo is of two AKs with folding stocks... laid out on what appears to be a SHEMAGH.

so uh... dude, really, how many steps from it are you?

I actually find it more telling that he is appalled that the police responded and in his opinion discriminated against him because he was walking around town with a fighting rifle, yet he sees no problem with racially profiling people based on their clothing and speech.

Guess the only rights that matter are his.

 

[Dustin-R]

Right message, wrong messenger.

I agree...it is a freedom that I think should be exercised, but for the right reason in an appropriate place with responsibility .. NOT to make a point in this manner.

I think that cuts to the very core. He has expectations for how everyone else should treat HIM, but he gives not one **** about how he treats anyone else.

One of the most reasonable and intelligent posts I've read in a while. Bravo.

Survey Says! HES STILL A DOUCHE!

well, if douches are aiding in pioneering this stuff and making it more known so decent people who do OC wont be put in the spotlight and catching all the flak for making OC more commonplace then i'm all for it.

just as long as they dont screw things up for everyone else.

I gotta add though that the guy is indeed a disrespectful MAJOR DOUCHE...and needs to get his act together before he actually does f*** things up for everyone and/or gets himself shot.

or better yet, just get outlaw OC and allow CCW without a license like arizona does. that way there wont be any drama. and since an AK is impossible to conceal there will be no more douches who carry them around, mission accomplished.
