No reason for you to be speaking in public or voting either, amIright?I too see wrongs on both sides. They obviously had the camera hoping the cops would stop them and they got their wish.
I don't care if open carry is legal or not, you should be selective in doing it.
I don't care to see guys walking down a downtown street carrying rifles. There's no reason for it. I don't care if it's legal or not. I can certainly see why it would set off alarms in people's heads, cops or not.
I mean come on, use your head. This is not helping the 2nd amendment cause.
These activities are more aptly titled: "What to do when you have no life, couldn't get laid if you paid for it, and didn't get enough attention growing up."
These activities do nothing but make gun owners appear to be attention seeking idiots!
Speaking eloquently an voting will actually do positive things for gun owners and our rights.No reason for you to be speaking in public or voting either, amIright?
Carrying a rifle around waiting for cops to show up doesn't.
Just because you can sit at a lunch counter if your skin is dark, doesn't mean you should, amIright?As someone else stated, I can see wrong on both sides.
While I understand that these gentlemen were fully within their rights, I can't help but think of the phrase "just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
I think most folks realize that carrying long guns around town is probably going to do little more than attract negative attention to both yourself and other gun owners. What exactly were these guys trying to accomplish, besides recording a good video?
I've seen more than a few YouTube videos of fellas who open carry seemingly for the single purpose of baiting a cop into saying or doing something stupid. There's no other reason I can think of for walking around with a gun and a camera rolling.
I guess I feel as if a person goes out and looks hard enough, they'll find it. In this case these fellas seemed to want attention and a police encounter. Well, they got it.
If these guys simply wanted to carry a gun for protection and go about their business, conceal it and move on.
Like I said before, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Exactly the 'arguments' the Anti's use. Interesting tactic.....These activities are more aptly titled: "What to do when you have no life, couldn't get laid if you paid for it, and didn't get enough attention growing up."

Huh? Who was shooting?Cops had probable cause. Possible active shooter scenario/terrorism. These guys will get nothing.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Then the police need to help educate the public.On one hand I can sort of see the police viewpoint on this, they dont want the hassle of taking all the calls they WILL get over something like this.

I trust the parallels are obvious....
As these folks showed. What difference does it make if they have to spend 45 minutes in handcuffs if they exercise that right? I mean, they're free to do it...if they don't mind being detained in cuffs. Sounds like freedom to me!We have the right to walk around with a rifle.

Are we free to do so? Sure.As these folks showed. What difference does it make if they have to spend 45 minutes in handcuffs if they exercise that right? I mean, they're free to do it...if they don't mind being detained in cuffs. Sounds like freedom to me!
Amen, Sam.
I'm tired of hearing...and from regulars on gun forums no less!...that we have a "right" to X example of RKBA...but we should expect to be disarmed and detained (if not arrested) by armed government agents if we do it...and just shouldn't do it.
This "you have a right to do it, but you can't do it" thing is just, uh...
I mean...WHAT?
So..as pro 2A folks we should simply agree with you to make things easier for you to debate?
Reality is what it is. Do as you choose, but, please don't bitch about the end result when you've seen the same situation play out time and time again.
