I Guess I Was Wrong -- Proof That Open-Carry Does Deter Criminals

[biggin215]

Forgive me for not being PC. It's clearly a simple question.

However I do indeed judge people everyday based on their appearance. Something wrong with that? If I see a dude walk behind me in a Gas Station dressed like a thug 'G' complete with saggy pants and bandana, you damn right I just judged him by his appearance and will keep an eye on him more than the well dressed male paying for his coffee at the register.




I have to say, at least you're persistent.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was a certain dress code outlined in the constitution in order to be worthy of owning a handgun or getting a concealed carry permit. My understanding was always that it has more to do with whether your record is clean and you can pass the qualifications to get a permit in your state.

Have I been wrong all these years?

Nigra, please. We all know democrats shouldn't be allowed to arm themselves. What if they start getting uppity?

He didn't say anything about the right to carry in relation to dress code. He said that the victim didn't look like a typical open carrier, which, he doesn't. He also said he pays closer attention to people dressed like thugs, because more often than not, they commit crimes.

I didn't hear anything about the right to carry.

come on, judging, profiling, whatever you choose to call it. I think we all do it as a matter of our instinct to stay alive. animals do it too. Chris Rock (a black man) said it best "Ni66az complain that the media is prejudice and distorts our images. Get real, when I go to an ATM at night, I ain't lookin' over my shoulder for the media, I'm lookin for ni66az!

FTFY

No you have not been wrong, I said nothing to the contrary and you have nothing to be sorry about.

Although might I suggest you make a better attempt at comprehending a statement before arguing against it.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Most men think they know everything about guns because of movies and TV and video games. Some find out they are wrong.

FIFY.

Profile by appearance works for me too! And I do it to everyone(including my own family), on a regular basis. If my kid dresses for school looking like a unkempt numbskull, I can determine right off the bat he is doing something stupid. And of course make the necessary changes in my strategy for the morning.

Same applies in public! Call it spider sense.

 

[spanky]

If one will carry, he should be trained, and well trained to carry properly. The carrier was clearly not properly trained.

Call it spider sense.

or racism according to politically correct liberal lefties.

Would be interesting to know what kind of holster it was.

+1000 One's appearance is a reflection of self-expression. If they dress like a thug, good chance they're gonna act like one.

And; criminals don't seem to comprehend that a neat appearance may actually work as a good way to gain even more of an advantage over potential unsupsecting victims. I use a little bit of body language reading for the well dressed folk.

Actually, some criminals are smart enough to use this to their advantage, but it's obviously not that common. I've heard of it more in snatch and grab type robberies where it is advantageous for the BG to get in close proximity to the victim. Doesn't really matter much if they're going to rob a store clerk. They had a robbery in New Iberia a few years ago, and the guy was wearing a Schlumberger or Wetherford work shirt (stolen or bought at good will) or something like that. Most people don't expect to get robbed from someone wearing a work shirt.

True Dat! I don't trust anyone no matter how they are dressed!

Similar instance; the infamous Prairiville break-ins of 2010. SB's (My abbreviation for Scum Bags), dressed in suits(like religous solicitors), knock on door during day and kick in door upon no answer. Scam worked! No one was apprehended.

WOW- I wonder how many people have been killed while trying to remove someone's clearly visable handgun and kill them with it?

No. You're right.

And Chris Rock is freaking hilarious.
