Another member on another forum posted his girlfriend was working at the mall today and noticed a man walking in open carry an AK-47 ! I thought this was odd, so did others, has anyone heard anything about this ?
Was this mall in GA? Is it off-limits to long gun carry for some reason?Places Off-Limits
Discussion of whether particular places in Ga. are or are not off-limits for carry.
why not is the better question? The person is obviously expressing his right to carry, and if he is that bold and he wants to go that route more power to the man. Ak is a little flashy for my taste, but I have no reason to down the man at all. @#$ if he wants he can carry a rocket launcher as long as its legal to do so. Americans need to learn that not everyone carrying a weapon is a criminal, even if they're toting around a AK-47. People need to train themselves to learn to pay attention to their surroundings, and to pay attention to body behavior. Is the person removing the gun from his shoulder? Is he swinging it around carelessly? Is he angry and annoyed at something?JeF4y said:other than "because the law says so", why would anyone do this? Serious question...

Then you should have said "Just because I can, does not mean I should/will."DJGibb said:To those select trolls - this is my opinion; get over it.
I don't know. Appropriateness I guess? And of course, I realize that is judgemental and subjective. Read on to get to my point.TippinTaco said:why not is the better question?
So you're totally onboard with WBC, KKK, Arian brotherhood when their activities don't break the law?(specifically exclude those activities that are illegal)The person is obviously expressing his right to carry, and if he is that bold and he wants to go that route more power to the man.

Absolutely. I may not agree, but they have the right. I also think fat women should not wear spandex, but I am not asking to make it illegal, or telling them they are idiots for dressing like that.JeF4y said:So you're totally onboard with WBC, KKK, Arian brotherhood when their activities don't break the law?(specifically exclude those activities that are illegal)
You seem to have a preternaturally high expectation that people care enough about your opinion that they would object. Of course, we both know you said that merely to troll a response, don't we?DJGibb said:Just because you can, does not mean you should.

Sounds like a bunch of anti(s)stirring the pot to me.Fallschirmjäger said:The timing of this post suggests it is this one - -
Man on security camera triggers manhunt
So, what now "Just because you CAN carry an umbrella at a shopping mall, doesn't mean you SHOULD"?
:?
Oh No! He was wearing a yellow jacket anic:"I just received a call from a tenant, from Buffalo Wild Wings, that there's an African-American male with a yellow jacket that just went into Macy's with a big assault rifle," the mall security officer said.
What mall do you go to that you see it all the time?ClayD said:Happens all the time...
This.JeF4y said:I'm just wondering why, other than to be a giant "LOOK AT ME" attention-w***re, anyone would do this. To me it doesn't support gun rights or educate people. It turns you into a giant tool.
I doubt it "turned" him into a giant tool. I suspect he already was.Morgan said:This.JeF4y said:I'm just wondering why, other than to be a giant "LOOK AT ME" attention-w***re, anyone would do this. To me it doesn't support gun rights or educate people. It turns you into a giant tool.
You seem to be pro2A UNLESS YOU don't like what the law is.DJGibb said:You are correct that I have come to expect certain people on GPDO to go bananas over particular subjects when people don't bend to their will or ideals. Apparently rights involving the 2A trump ones right to a personal opinion. You are either with them, or against them. No grey areas. No ability to say, "Well - we can agree to disagree". No, instead if you post something outside of their train of thought they relentlessly try to belittle you into submission. Try to talk down to you in an attempt to "show you the error of your ways".
These people are disgusting and hope one day they join the list of banned users. Some on this list had over 3000 posts and I'll be happy when some other "regulars" join that list.
If more of us would do it more often, even go out of our way to work one up and let it rip even when we really don't need to, then society will eventually be forced to come to terms with it and accept us farting loudly in public. That seems to be the logic of some. :shock:Nullifier said:So, does that mean I should fart loudly and openly in public?
