Wait? I can't bring my AR-15 in with me to Chili's? (1 Viewer)

For every sane responsible gun owner there is probably at least one or more total freaking ######## turds like these morons that are armed to the teeth.

• Current estimates put gun ownership in US to be 70-80 Million adults.

• Gun crime has been in pretty consistent decline

so if there is one nut to every 100 responsible gun owner, that's 700k-800k douchebags like this that are armed to the teeth.

 

[fantasycurse42]

The PR guy for Open Carry Texas was on CNN and said they have a new "game plan" so maybe they got the message.

They are going to play a game of touch football while carrying their assault rifles to show there is no danger in carrying around a loaded assault rifle.

 

[Clifford]

Icon, this is why I am against the 2nd ammendment. For every sane responsible gun owner there is probably at least one or more total freaking ######## turds like these morons that are armed to the teeth. Human beings, especially American human beings, are simply too impossibly stupid to be trusted with sharp spoons, let alone guns. And it seems that gun ownership has the capacity to make some of them even more stupid than they would have been without guns (see Cliven Bundy ranch).

I think your numbers are skewed. There are probably >100 responsible gun owners to every nut.

Numbers of gun crime vs ownership puts the number substantially closer to 10,000 to 1, but yep.

These guys, for some crazy ####### reason, aren't committing a crime. Publicly intimidating everyone who is just sitting there trying to eat a freaking meal, for some reason, is not a crime. Personally I think every single one of these douchebags should be thrown in jail.

 

[Kal El]

I'm for the 2nd Amendment, but for what possible reason would anyone need to bring in a long rifle anywhere except for hunting? These wackos are why the NRA gets such a bad rap.

 

[Todd Andrews]

2nd amendment advocate here....

These dickmittens running into restaurants open carrying long rifles need to be drawn and quartered. Some folks are attempting to project the image that many gun owners are responsible, rational individuals who receive training, know the law, handle and store their weapons responsibly.

And then these ####ers come along and undo years of work.

Morons.

Well said. I am a gun owner and these guys make it easy to paint us all as loonies.

With the recent public shootings in California and the general rise of such incidents across the country, do some of you really need to be convinced why people would be freaked out by someone bringing an AK-47 to ####### Chipotle?

Love how the NRA tries to back away slowly. They help create these nuts.

I think most here have agreed that these people are nut-jobs, and that we would leave said restaurant.

 

[Amused to Death]

I was watching a show on Fox News this weekend and the host and an analyst supported the activist. Craziness.

Now replace these "activists" with a group of Black Panthers. I'm sure they would be equally supportive.

 

[NCCommish]

Needs some editing.

Basically the NRA finally met a bridge to far and call out these #######s after they looked like compete idiots and were run out of places by customers.

When will people realize one of the biggest victories towns won were when people didn't have to worry that every jerk off and their brother was carrying a gun?

NRA is nothing but a front for the gun lobby to keep the guns flowing. These guys have been the NRA's useful idiots for a long time. The minute they are bad for business? Straight under the bus.

It's really that simple.

Well sure.

It doesn't have to be either or guys. These ####bags do not make me think you or icon or my brother in law or practically everyone I know personally can't handle a gun. But it does prove that there are plenty of people out there who are too stupid to be trusted with one. As does the Cliven Bundy ranch fiasco. As does every single monster truck rally ever held. There are stupid people everywhere, but let's face it, America celebrates stupidity and people revel in it here more than anywhere else in the world.

Do you want to see every single one of the real housewives of Atlanta brandishing firearms? Can you say that someone who lacks the basic judgment to not walk into a public restaurant with a ####### AR-15 has the judgment to where society should trust them with firearms?

Positing that absolutely everyone is fit to own and carry a gun is just as stupid as saying no one should ever be allowed to own one or no one can use them safely. This debate needs a healthy dose of reality injected into it, and frankly the NRA and their obvious intent to keep the wheels greased for the gun manufacturers that pay their salaries need to be removed from it. If you act like these #######s, you should have your gun taken away, but that can only happen when it ceases to be a right for everyone, and becomes a privilege for those that are mentally fit to earn through a basic show of competency and mental sanity.

Exactly the first thing I would think of if I see an long rifle in public carried by someone in plain clothes.

 

[Clifford]

And does anyone think these folks are stupid enough to be oblivious to that, or just don't give two ####s about the terror they are creating? Honest question, I don't know. If you're dumb enough to come up with this idea in the first place, oblivious is obviously possible.

His "explanation" of the restaurant incidents was laughable. Apparently they do demonstration "walks" and "sometimes when they're done they get hungry so they go somewhere to eat."

This guy should do more "walks."

Gotta admit though, if this lady brought a rifle in while I was eating I wouldn't be too upset. might need to do the space at the end of the url trick

They go out to intersections with rifles and approach cars at lights to hand them pamphlets. They are very stupid, very arrogant or maybe both.

If I'm sitting in a Chili's (god forbid) and a dude walks in carrying an AK47, there is a very small but very real chance I jump up and stab him in the neck.

IF I was ever in a position to where I was compelled to bring something like my AK47 into a chilis (purely hypothetical).... I would respect the manager/employees/customers and make sure it was unloaded, with the chamber open, magazine removed, and it was kept pointing down at the ground.

I would stop at the check stand and relinquish the firearm to the manager to store in the back, while i kept the magazine on my person (in a pocket or bag) to avoid someone in back getting ahold of a loaded rifle in the store).

I think that's the responsible way to handle a situation like that.

I've carried my daily carry pistol into Chilis many times when I wasn't drinking or if I was only having a beer with lunch.... nobody has ever been the wiser because that's the point of a concealed carry.... to protect myself/my loved ones without causing fear in those who might not share my stance on guns.

Ugh at moron on the right....There is no reason whatsoever your finger should EVER get that close to a trigger / firing position in a public place like that. At least fatboy is carrying the weapon in a "non-threatening position".

Legally in the state of texas I'm fairly certain I could shot dip#### on the right and get off scott free due to the fact he's damn near a firing position with a long rifle. He's lucky that didn't get him shot.

Not advocating carrying those rifles into a place like that... just no reason other than thrill seeking (as evidenced by dillweed on right's face and the fact that they're posing for pictures).

Stupid Stupid Stupid.

If I'm out shooting at the range and I stop for lunch on the way home, and I (for whatever reason) didn't have a locking rifle case (which I do) to carry it into the restaurant... I think it's perfectly reasonable to not be expected to drive home before going out to eat.

I'm for the 2nd Amendment, but for what possible reason would anyone need to bring in a long rifle anywhere except for hunting? These wackos are why the NRA gets such a bad rap.

As stated below...

IF I was out shooting and wanted to stop somewhere for dinner I'd need to do something with my rifle. I transport my AR15 in a long locking case that's pretty nondescript. I'm generally with someone who has a trunk that I can lock it up in.... however absent that I'd have no issue bringing the case into the restaurant (with the rifle obviously unloaded... you never transport a loaded rifle outside daily cary), and discreetly have them store it the office while I ate. I'd likely lock up any leftover mags/ammo in the glovebox/console of a vehicle as an added precaution.

I think that's very fair way to handle things.

No, its not.

This sort of stance is no better than the guys who want to carry the loaded rifles into a restaurant. Just FYI.

 

[fantasycurse42]

There is no responsible way to carry an assault rifle in public... It creates unnecessary fear amongst people just going about their business. You go to the range, bring your case... That way if you want to stop and eat, lock it up, put it in your trunk and go about your business.

 

[Henry Ford]

Needs some editing.

Basically the NRA finally met a bridge to far and call out these #######s after they looked like compete idiots and were run out of places by customers.

When will people realize one of the biggest victories towns won were when people didn't have to worry that every jerk off and their brother was carrying a gun?

Just saying the murder rate in Baltimore of modern times is way higher than the murder rate of the "Wild, Wild West." (Both the actual version and the Will Smith version.)

The murder rate in Baltimore is 34.9 per 100,000. The murder rate in, for instance, Dodge City in the 1880s, was 165 per 100,000.

Per capita?

Per capita, an adult in Oregon between 1850 and 1865 had a lower chance of being murdered than an adult in 2012 in the following cities:

Detroit, New Orleans, St Louis, Baltimore.

Oregon was the lowest rate in the entire West at that point, and it was still only 5 per 100,000 less than Baltimore. Also, nice work comparing an entire territory with a city.

For every long rifle you see in public, which is a miniscule scant few, there are untold numbers of people carrying concealed weapons both legally and illegally.

The story here isn't about gun rights pro or con. It's about the paralyzing fear effete urban liberals have of things outside their comfort zone.

"Ooooohhh... Big, bad, spooky rifles! Kooks! Loonies! Disarm them!"

Never mind the people right beside them packing heat of which they're never aware.
