Obnoxious “Kid” Carrying In/At Waldmartan

[ladder13]

Fat shaming is the weapon of the callous, the condescending, the unfeeling, the petulant, the self elevating and the insecure.

Look to thine own selves.

Speak for yourself.

If pictures of obese people make you feel shamed then you only need to look in a mirror. If you like yourself, fine. If you are shamed by your image, then perhaps you have some work to do. Don't blame me for how you feel about how you look.

In some states, a firearm handled as the OP describes "He was rubbing his exposed side arm, taking his time and was being obnoxiously loud." Could be considered banishing.
Banishing is not good for any 2nd amendment supporter.

I'll open carry in the woods for comfort but I prefer deep concealment for everyday carry. I was a Jersey cop born and raised. You don't even want them to think you are carrying in the PRNJ.

He should have been banished.

Can I like this twice?

How's the view from Mount Olympus?

Just fine. I don't care how you look. If you do, then that is your business. You are responsible for you.

So many carry for all the wrong reasons.

Could you leave a list of the "right" reasons?

So; you're an ardent 40 year-old white male OC advocate. You have your Kimber 1911 strapped on, cocked and locked, as you stop at the convenience store at Airport Road and Cerrillos in Santa Fe, NM, while on your way from Denver to El Paso. As usual, there is a group of teens, mostly boys, some girls, parked in spaces on the west side of the property; they're within 25 yards of your pump, standing, laughing, and talking as a group.

Suddenly, a 17 year-old male starts it - "Hey... you a cop?," and laughs and points. The rest of the group joins in. They're noisy and laughing; the first guy starts walking toward you with a Red Bull in his hand, laughing, "You gonna shoot me?", while you're topping off your tank.

By now he's swaggering to within 20 feet, wearing only baggy jeans, visible boxers, and a wifebeater (tank t-shirt), nothing but his Red Bull in his hands. He laughs, and says, "You gonna shoot me, bro," while the group behind him laughs and catcalls. You need to hang up your pump, open your door, and get your keys out of your pant pocket to drive away.

How are you going to act?

Now, ask yourself - would I be in this circumstance without open carry?

That sounds like a FATS scenario.
