Gun Thread

[RACER X]

Cindy Yorgason was in line at the J.C. Penney in Riverdale on Wednesday when she looked up and saw a shopper with "a large gun."

Yorgason said the rifle was slung across the back of the man in front of her. When she looked closer, she saw that he also had extra ammunition clips and a sidearm in a holster on his right hip.

"It wasn’t small," Yorgason said of the pistol.

Amid a "lot of raised eyebrows" Yorgason quickly snapped a pair of photos, which she said have been going viral on Facebook ever since. She also said the first store clerkwhom the man approached refused to serve him, and everyone in the vicinity "wanted to get away."

On Thursday, 22-year-old Joseph Kelley identified himself as the man in Yorgason’s pictures. Kelley described himself as a firm believer in Second Amendment rights and said he decided to bring the guns to the store to demonstrate that they are not dangerous in the hands of law-abiding citizens.

I love my AR22 (tactical Solutions) it gets more use than any of my other ARs. Just a thought on the Hydro dipping. I have not seen good long term results with it. Scratches up quick.

These idiots that keep doing things like this need to get their heads out of their hind-ends! If you are going to do something to protest an issue or bring attention to it, wear a damn shirt or sign that lets people know what it's about!
If you saw someone walking through the mall with a jar with a dead dog in their arms, you'd think they were crazy! If they carried a sign or had an explanatory shirt opposing animal cruelty or euthanasia then, you'd understand.
If you're going to make a statement, make it obvious!

Exactly.
He's lucky a tactical response unit wasn't waiting to escort him "home" when he left the store. I mean, I believe open carry should be allowed, but (much like lane-splitting) legality doesn't equal an instant acceptance by the public or that other legal issues won't arise for those who choose to practice it.
I had always heard that, even in places that didn't expressly forbid open carry, a person could be cited for disturbing the peace if their piece is causing others distress in a public setting. I'm not sure if that's a fact or if it would stand up in court, but it does seem plausible.

It could be considered "brandishing" and possibly reckless endangerment!
