Nope... He wrote "Mentally Retarded"... COMPLETELY different.
Mentally retarded is a legitimate medical term

Mentally retarded is a legitimate medical term
There was a BOOK?!?!?
Yes and it actually wasn't bad.
In the Book Rambo is hitchhiking through Madison Ky. and is picked up by the Town Sheriff (A survivor of The Chosin Reservoir) Wilfred Teasle and taken to the edge of town and given a choice, keep moving or go to jail.
The book goes in depth on the conflict between Rambo and Teasle and how they were both trained for different battles. It's actually a good book but on the book Rambo and Teasle essentially kill each other although Trautman fires the final shot

Well, it was. It's now known as Intellectual Disability in the DSM 5.
I searched on it. Gonna have to find it. Sounds very different from the movie.

That was about 6 posts in, and there is a BIG difference in calling a person "mentally retarded", which is a clinical term(although outdated), versus "he's a retard". The term "retard" is univerally seen as a derogatory word. And I only used the phrase "mentally retarded" to try to get through to those who couldn't comprehend what I was saying by using the term "mentally challenged". The guy I saw had the mannerisms of a 5 year old. And he was carrying a loaded weapon. And there is something wrong with that.

I go away for a few hours to run errands and this thread blows up, I like my popcorn salted, no butter.
Mr. Keith, you sure do make some pretty rigs.
For the record, I OC a big 1911 in 10mm, in <gasp> a Blackhawk Serpa.

Cooper obviously never watched "The Rifleman" ... Actually, I see the point he's making.
Restrictions are a slippery slope. But I recently read a report of some guy carrying a handgun in a Maine Walmart store, in a clip on holster ... dangling from his back pocket!
If the choice is between no open carry at all or "allowing" this type of carry, I need to say let him carry that way. But he's a pretty poor representative for gun owners.

Wasn't that Eve's first words to Adam?My, that's a HUGE one.
I agree, we gun owners get enough negative publicity through the media, why open carry? I am all for carrying concealed, I just don't get the "in your face" open carry that makes the already scared sheople even more frightened.

I'm on the side of "shall not be infringed."
If OC is legalized here, I may carry a big unscary gun on occasion.

Well!
I read all of these posts and other than a head ache I actually enjoyed most of them. I was some what surprised at the number of members that have a rather narrow view of the second amendment. I sure can not say that I love all of the pro gun laws that have been passed however I am willing to give gun owners to prove that they are mature and smart enough to conduct themselves properly.
When thinking back on the evolution of concealed carry that really started with Florida the media and anti gunners were predicting that blood would flow in the streets. With very few exceptions there have been no problems. My prediction for the current wave of open carry is that it will go as well.
We really need to show a united front because as many said the media is ready to pounce and use our own words against us. As for 4.5 million of the 68 million gun owners being NRA members I really don't understand how this can be. I guess that the current administration has doubled their membership. I hope that this trend continues! Later! Geo. T.

I was once verbally abused by an elderly Nazi (he volunteered that he was pretty much sold on the Holocaust) working as a cleaner in a Lakewood, Ohio McDonalds.
Why? He didn't like my NRA ball cap. A lot of things either "scare" or "anger" stupid and or evil people. If I'm going to let them run my life, I might was well eat my own gun.

I don't really care if they are scared of an inanimate object. If they are that scared they may as well pretend they have agoraphobia (which they may have) and stay locked in their little cocoon of their house and never venture out where they may become "scared". I can almost guarantee if the sight of a lawfully carried gun causes them to wet their pants, they have more issues than just guns.

I think some of you need to get out of the echo chamber
And go read some of the anti websites.
They all say the same thing, there is no reason for a private citizen to carry a gun (concealed or otherwise) in public Period.
Listen, and understand! That Grabber is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely.will.not .stop. until you are disarmed
