Does this guy really need a gun? Really?

I personally think open carry is a great way to increase firearms education and awareness. Further I think it will decrease the shock value guns have associated with them by the mis and uninformed.

I think open carry in a state that prohibits concealed carry is a great way to get concealed carry laws made.

Having said all of this though I do not open carry (have done it once in my life) but I have never lived in a state that allowed open carry and prohibited concealed carry.
 
I think concealed carry is a much better option, if one has the choice. It eliminates most of the discussed opinions and problems. The Woman who asks if this is the kind of Society that we want our kids to see, has her head up her a**. I want my kids to question things, and not trust every Tom, Dick and Harry they come across. Her kids are raised to be targets.
 
Who thinks this dude needs a gun? Seems to me just his mere presence will scare the adults and traumatize children :evil:

Not the best example of guy who needs a gun! Just thought it sounds odd him saying he needs it for protection ha ha. Sometimes you have to see the irony in life. :D
Bit off topic, but thing I think is quite interesting about the vid in the context of open carry is that a big dude like that, with a haircut like that, will get no second looks from anyone when out and about open carrying - even though he's not, I bet people automatically assume he's a cop.
 
You can pick out whatever words you like, I have posted pictures of my carry set up on this site. I would obviously support the right to carry being that I do so.

I didn't pick out anything. Those are "your" words. Perhaps you posted without thinking about word choice.


...and posting pix proves you know how to post pix.

Instead of addressing what I said, you picked out one word or phrase. You then took that phrase and used it to try to be clever. This is the most basic way to argue on the internet without actually saying anything.

Yes, I do know how to post pictures. You are again avoiding saying anything of relevance, stop trolling.

I think the issue with the OP is simple. How many times have we all heard that there is no need for: -
  • Concealed carry
  • Semi Automatic rifles
  • Open carry
  • add your own issue here...

So when we see a title as was given, we naturally, respond to it like a pork chop in a synagogue.

I'll be honest I've owned and carried firearms in the US for as long as it has been legal for me to do so, and I've never had a call to use them in defense, so technically I've never "needed" them. However that's not relevant to the issue. The RKBA is a right, and to support that right as written it's the universal right to keep and bear arms, not "your" right, or my right, everyone's right.

YMMV

Apparently it worked.

Actually, I picked out a statement. Again, perhaps you chose the wrong word. As far as addressing what you said, I thought I was quite clear. Maybe you are 100 percent pro 2nd, but that's not what I got from your post.

Moving on.
 
It was my impression that the OP was joking, wasn't he? Seems to me a few people took it serious.....
 
Not a very serious thread here, but I see the humor and, frankly, am bored; so I'll take the bait.....

Big, tough looking guy. But, I have know several individuals who "appear" just as menacing, yet they fall down just like the rest of us (given the proper, umm.. encouragement). ;)

Besides, mere size alone does not count for all that much, particularly when it comes to flesh vs. weapon....for the most part. Hence, yeah...even this guy could benefit from using a gun!

For those who are confused: OP was being funny, and didn't proof-read his post to adhere to the strictest sense of pro-2A as one would do in a thesis. I don't put that amount into a funny post either, so take it in the sense it was given, and go have a nice cold brew. :)

Good advice (as I am now heading towards the cooler). :)
 
Sometimes a more intimidating person will cause a criminal or gang member to harass or "test" them. Like punching the baddest guy in prison to prove yourself. (hitting the baddest guy in prison gets you nowhere but disabled or dead, but it's a common saying). All the more reason for him to carry. I respect anyone's right to carry. Unfortunately in Illinois, we have no way to defend ourselves. I do think concealed carry is better than open carry, but any carry is better than no carry. To the op, I must say dammit!! I ended up watching 30 min. of open carry videos because of this thread!! I guess it's a good thing though. I'll just stay up an extra 1/2 hour catching up on the Pawn Stars episode I missed. LOL.
 
This site furthers nothing. It embodies the very reason RKBA is held back, close-mindedness. Maybe if you took off your blinders and got out of your little bubble you would realize it.

The only people you reach with this site is people already on your side. Showing you have little to no sense of humor does nothing to help your cause. If I was on the fence about gun ownership, this site would do nothing to sway me towards it.
So your advice to reach out to more folk is to allow us'n here on The High Road to laugh at other people, at their expense?

You'll have to excuse me if I fail to be swayed by that suggestion. I've been around the block more than a few times, and I've never found any good that comes from laughing at other folk.

We're just not gonna do that here.

The End.
