Man Bring Assault rifle to Store to Make a Statement

One of the comments from the link:

Well, NRA, how do you like your latest 2nd Amendment poster boy? This immature boy, trying to be "macho" carries his big gun into Walmart. "Hey, it's legal", right? And he has .357 Magnum too! So manly!
Grow up and join the army, instead of shooting squirrels with your BIG GUN

I think it was nuts for the guy to had brought his guns to Walmart as there could had been another person with a concealed gun at the store and they may thought the guy was a mass shooter and shot him.
 
LOL.. when I was reading the article, in some way I laughed because this kid is smart. Caught the store manager off-guard. People who got scared... they shall see why we gun supporters is trying to say, we ain't insane but we can protect you from the insanity if we have the license, ability to think and feel for everyone besides the ones who wants to kill. Just sayin'... this kid is smart... did his homework beforehand.

If such a person with a CWP saw the man with the rifle in Walmart, he would/should watch him to make sure he was not going to use it in the store. A CWP person WILL go to prison if he shoots the man doing nothing wrong.

A trained CWP holder knows the reason why he/she wears a gun....to protect yourself if threatened with bodily harm or to stop someone who is an active threat to others, such as a man holding a knife to a woman threatening to harm her. You order the man to drop the knife and letting him see that you mean business. If he drops it, you hold him at gunpoint until police arrive or if he starts stabbing the woman, you shoot him to end it, saving her life.

Statistics shows that less than .2 percent of CWP holders commit a crime by making the wrong decision. Many police officers never fire their weapons during their career to stop a criminal. Same goes for CWP holders. I have had mine over 10 years and have never had the need to pull it.

some people do not think they act out of fear and the person may not be carrying their gun legally and would not do everything you said.

I prefer to stick with the fact and the fact shows that what you speak of is statistically rare.... or more like statistically irrelevant.
 
Ok, any one of you, gun owners, the article mentioned that Walmart didn't allow him to come back with his guns. What's up with that?

I'm sure it's just for that day since people got rattled and police was involved. at least he was allowed to come back.... not banned or issued trepass ticket.

You missed my point. He could come back without his guns. Why? Because this is not Wild Wild West. He's fucking nuts thinking it's OK for him as a civilian to carry a gun in public. OF COURSE, it scared the shit out of people. I bet that you don't do that because you have common sense, don't you?
 
Paul, re-read the article, the kid made his point. The manager didn't realize that the Wal-Mart allows it because they sell guns and he just wanted to bring it in to see if they could get it fixed or whatever since it didn't say if they could or not on the website. Plus the rifle is not in working condition. The manager was just doing it for the customers since they knew nothing about it. The kid is partly right though, manager forgot or didnt know everything about the how Wal-Mart runs its business. The kid also made a statement to have the public realize he is wise and did the right thing the whole time. It is not about the gun control.. it is the fear.. and people not thinking straight when it comes to that. I support this kid... no one is calm anymore.. I think these people needs to be on medication or some sort.

He didn't put it in the case before entering. Not carrying a rifle out in public like that without a carrying case if he needs it to be fixed. You think there were only adults getting scared, fucking no, there were children as well.

No it did not say that. Walmart told the guy to come back with out his rifle .
The guy could still have his gun as no one can see it. People emotions are still very raw about happen in Newtown and if they saw a man with a rifle the cops would be flooded with phone calls. There was a case where a guy had backpack and he had an umbrella poking out his backpack. Someone thought the guy had gun at the mall and called the cops and there was huge man hunt for guy with a gun at the mall. The guy had gotten home and saw this on TV and when back to to mall to let the cops know he had an umbrella and not a gun. The guy when out and brought a new umbrella so people would not freak out.

No you're the one missing the point . you need to reread this.
"A store manager then asked the man to leave and return without the rifle, Granlund added. " This is what the manger said. The guy was allowed to keep his gun!
 
Of course people were freaked out. There had just been a shooting in Oregon then the tragedy in Newton. If he was going in to get his gun fixed why not keep in in it's case until he got to the gun counter?

in most cases - such person would be asked to leave.

first time I've heard of this where he was allowed back in.... without a gun especially after "scary" incident with cops involved.

That's my point. When people including children (customers) see someone carrying a rifle without the case, it's very reasonable for them to get scared. I am sure that Walmart and police think that he's fucking nuts doing that way. He has no common sense at all since he's 21 fucking years old. That's why one of the commenters said "Grow up!". I bet that Jiro wouldn't do that because he has common sense (hopefully).

No, you are the one missing the point. I said that he couldn't come back to the store with his guns so why not? Please explain! I didn't say that he must give his guns up.

many states do have Open Carry law. I have done so and nobody gets freaked out but what he did was rather stupid especially since after Sandy Hook shooting. people are, of course, shaken about it.

just a poor timing. *smh* at him. I think it was the way he acted, not what he was carrying.

OK then if you think this is so rare to happen I dare you to walk into a store with automatic rife on your back and see what happen.
