And yet we probably all have seen at least six guys just like him at the local rang. Sadly tards exist.
Only because no one is willing to flush them.
Possible.
But a simple application of Occam’s Razor suggests otherwise, however.
As much as I’m all for individual expression and all that, when it comes to gun rallies…SOMEBODY needs to function as organizer and room monitor and make sure everyone is on the same page. Open Carry groups desperately need self policing. We can do it for ourselves, or we can continue to let other people and laws do it for us.
It is theoretically possible to have an open carry event where every person is responsibly armed. That means handguns in holsters, rifles slung to the rear. They aren’t in your hands because you aren’t getting ready to shoot people.
Responsible open carry is possible, they do it all the time in Switzerland.
Of course for them it’s about responsible carry and not trying to live out a Navy Seal fantasy.
Motards like this are what keep Taurus/Cheaper Than Dirt/Olympic in business . . .
Until the OC crowd as a whole understands that holding a long gun like that is the same as walking around with a handgun in their hand we will continue to see this nonsense. There was even a photo on the Mega Arms FB page of a rally with two idiots posing with AR’s at the low ready. I’m really hoping they weren’t Mega employees as I really like that company.
ETA: Found it. Same rally as the one in my OP.
Technically, he is wearing a duster, but it still has the same effect. What law enforcement agency is respnsible for security at the legislative building? It seems to me that this OCR should not have been allowed to enter the building in such a way. Yes, they had to be aware of the rally, but walking through the front door mean-mugging with a pistol at low ready seems like someone that would need immediate attention.
Seriously, is this dude real? I have to believe it was plant, it’s the only way I can have even a shred of faith left in humanity. My young daughter has a pet rock that I am pretty sure has a higher IQ than this retard.
What are the brandishing laws there?
Just because you can open carry doesn’t mean you get to open brandish and be a retard about it.
Unless weapons are on your back, chances are your being an idiot an sending the wrong message.
So OCT must have decided that they have done enough damage here and moved on.
Morons like that are probably plants and should have been told to eff off and duct taped to the nearest tree before the start of the rally. People like this idiot are the reason lots of people shy away from Constitutional carry and open carry in general. The more you see these type of assholes within a movement the more you want to distance yourself from that movement and say **** it
If that guy walked into a place I was at he’d be dead. Brandishing a weapon like that is a bad idea. I’m surprised the LEO allowed him in.
This is making it too easy for the anti-gun liberals.
I have to agree and it is a sad thing to see after all the money we spent and hard work we invested to battle the Anti-2nd Amendment crowd. This sort of demonstration sets us way back and we have to regain the ground we lost through more expense and hard work.
I’m all for a united 2A front, but if someone pushes the OCers under the bus, I’m not going to pull them up. Like I’ve said before, OCers are like the tranny’s to the LGBTalpabet crowd. You don’t lead with them, you lead with lipstick lesbians and gays on sitcoms- women who defend themselves from stalkers and former military guys lighting up home invaders.
If the OCers can’t help themselves and do stupid stunts like this, why should we try to save them?
This is exactly why we can’t have OC in Texas.
Between the lunatics who decided this was a good way to make their point and the whiney Libs that feed on this crap, we’re screwed.
I’m still waiting for an AD/ND at one of these places to drive the point home.
Ocers are anti-gun plants.
So, don’t waste your emotion on them.
What they’re doing isn’t stupid considering their goal - Their goal is to promote anti-gun sentiment by virtue of making pro-gun people look like knuckle dragging troglodytes.
exactly what I was going to say
and really what is odd most rednecks that wear rolled ball caps flannel and jeans think trench coats/duster looks are for other types !
I think some might wear those jackets who are more the cowboy types but would not be doing the things they do ?
more the type on rare occasion in AZ I see come in off the ranch with horse trailers and have a 6 gun strapped to them they are often super dirty and you can tell working whole diff thing for sure
I like to be able to open carry cause it is a bit more comfy when I am camping 
and that is about the only time I would want to open carry
I might say all but a few of us here also know OC is painting a shoot me first situation ?
Definitely missing sights… I’m reallly glad I was unable to attend this as the urge to smack him would have been hard to resist.
I’ve been thinking these knuckleheads that do this crap are plants for a while now. Nobody could really be stupid enough to think this could help the cause.
Another thing that strikes me as odd. He’s holding the AR with right hand and his drop leg holster is on his left side. Any of you guys run your pistol on your offhand side?
Who would know enough about the AR to know that they can legally build a pistol AR lower, but not know enough to put sights on the gun? Notice the rail covers in random places…wearing conflicting styles of clothing? There is another crew that does dumb crap like that. The Hollywood liberals.
