Yeah, but what if they got dark shifty beady eyes and a receding chin like weasel head pete of the frozen waste?
Sir,
Outside of the 1930s era gangster movies.......
,
I have never encountered a criminal wearing a holster.
What modern day gangster wants to be caught flee the scene
of his latest mis-deeds with a holstered sidearm or
worse an empty holster after ditchin his gat?
Of the few dust-up that I have been in...
The POSs drew from concealment, a pocket or waistband.
No holster need by Ricky the Armed Robber
.
Being a minority, I've been stopped and questioned and even accused of being a drug trafficker at gun point by the police.
I feel that if I was open carrying it would have been shoot first and ask questions later.
Ya darned right I always carry concealed.
And I get pulled over by 4 police cruisers while riding my bicycle around the block at my Mom's house.But if you were a Wall St broker carrying around a gram of powder, you wouldn't even get a glance.![]()
Nothing to figure, see post 239And I get pulled over by 4 police cruisers while riding my bicycle around the block at my Mom's house.
Go Figure.
Why does it need gone a "gangster". People ruled mentally incompetent. Misdemeanor family offense. Dishonorable discharge. Illegal alien. All not legally able to possess a firearm
As for terry vs ohio, the officer needs to suspect criminal acts other than simply seeing a gun. So it doesn't answer my question.
I've been heckled by professionals so amatuers no longer bother me!![]()
Did everybody notice the first page and the last page of this thread sound exactly the same.....Tells me we all have our own opinions and we will never agree......This is the first thread I can remember where there has been open animosity present......We won't agree period...So why try?? I bet not one mind set has changed anybody's opinion..
I wish I could say this is the first thread where I've seen "open animosity present", but it's not. Fortunately it's rare on this splendid forum. It does seem that open carry is often the acrimonious subject.
I don't care if you carry a 75mm pack howitzer slung on your back or an NAA mini-revolver secreted in a body cavity (though I wouldn't envy you the job of explaining the former or cleaning the latter). My choice is to carry concealed--guess I'm one of those "underhanded" guys. I've thought through that decision quite thoroughly. It's what makes sense to me, for me.
It's your choice and your right to carry a gun however is legal in your jurisdiction. I'm too cynical to believe open carry educates the antis, but if you entertain that hope, go for it.
It's been my stated choice not to read any more of these invariably contentious and circular threads, but like an idiot I always seem to hope one will be different.
Never happens.
If only the world were lolipops and marshmallows. Sigh.
