to my fellow gun owners:
i applaud yall. we have multiple hobbies and exercise our rights to participate in them. but there are a few who have become dicks. for our right to bear arms, its not something we're supposed to demonstrate to the extreme degree. Starbucks has just given it's employees on instructions on how to deal with ones who OC or CC. they aren't taking a stand against us. they're taking a neutral stance. basicly if you cause a disturbance, to ask you to remove the gun from the store. not for you to leave.
but then you have these idiots. these instigators who decide "this is MERICA!! i DO WHAT I WANT!!" so they make these stupid open carry videos about walking down the street or into a store with their ARs or AKs. then get mad when they get stopped. here are my views on that:
1-you are open carrying a RIFLE!! not a hand gun. a RIFLE. a rifle(for ARs so far) that has been supposedly used in mass shootings. you NEVER did it before until the attack on gun rights happened. now you're just doing it to be a dick. don't get me wrong. i open carry every day. never got stopped. never got any negative feedback either. just people asking if i work undercover or security. but i'm not going to suddenly open carry my .22 because i can. wtf?
2-im all for OC and CC rights and gun rights of all sorts. but to the ones making the videos of them OC'ing their AKs and ARs, you're not doing it for rights. you're doing it because you want to be a dick. and being that recording it, you're doing BECAUSE you know that you're going to get someone calling the police on you. then when the cops come, you give them a hard time. they ask for your ID, you decline. wtf? why? you are carrying a rilfe in public. what did you think was going to happen? the cops want to make sure you're not a criminal going to do something wrong. "well im not a criminal." the people around you and the cops don't know that. but instead of proving to the world that we gun owners aren't gun-crazed, you make us look bad by being a dick to ANYONE who questions you. then you post it. that's not being American. that's not being an advocate for gun rights. that's being an attention whore.
