BAD experience OCing today

[trillobite]

Snipped for brevity





It ended perfectly, with everyone watching the screaming lunatic leave while the polite gunowner peacefully finished his meal!!

Agreed. But the manager should have asked him to leave, or called in a "hostile customer" to the LEA, with the plate number. He might have had a few interesting warrants out on him. Sounds like a domestic abuse kind of fellow.

How long had he been with IMPD and why was he out of his district in Broad Ripple?

Evidently he was too impressed by his own district. He needed to go somewhere else that didn't impress him as much.

Sounds like a a complete moron.... Way to keep your cool!

I was thinking we would have 20+ pages by this evening when I read the title but since it didn't involve a LEO I'm guessing 10-13 pgs.

7 pages by morning. You're off your game, man.

Maybe you should have offered him some of this...

If something would have happened in the store and you had to use lethal force on someone I bet he would have thanked you

 

[Lucas156]

What I said was that thinking by doing so, you are somehow teaching people something is silly.

I disagree. I think OCing can be very informative to people who respond to it positively. Maybe someone finds it interesting and starts exercising their own rights.

 

[BBSparkle]

So if I OC I have some responsibility to educate everybody who comes up to me about gun ownership rights/regulations?

No thanks.

The thought of being approached by strangers who want to talk with me makes me shudder. If I'm out and about, I have things to do.

If you want people to come up and interact with you, try taking a shower.

Interacting in the real world with other human beings? Passssssssssss.

I don't disagree though. I just want to go about my business without being the spokesman for gun ownership. If others feel it's important to do that then I support them, I just don't feel the need.

That too would have likely been considered deadsquirrels fault!

To bad there wasn't an Leo there to cite him for disturbing the peace.

 

[Wwwildthing]

There is only one response to this question, and it's the same one I've used for over 30 years... "If you have to ask... you wouldn't understand the answer.

Glad the other patrons saw a "crazy gun owner" keep his cool while some other dumbass made a fool out of himself.

I have yet to have any bad experiences, but I hope I handle it as well as you did.

[PatriotPride]

Isn't that kinda what you just did?

Yep. I'm not saying...I'm just saying

Fenway, my buddy, you are turning into a real cynic.

 

[RockofStrength]

Fenway, my buddy, you are turning into a real cynic.

But still dead on

Glad to see you made it out of that without losing your cool. I might have at least taken a video of it to sell to AFV

 

[Archbishop]

All in all, I'd say it was an instructive experience for all involved...the public saw a law abiding OC'er behave safely, appropriately and with enviable restraint in the face of an unbalanced, foaming at the mouth, gun-hating crazy person. +1 for our side, -1000 for theirs.

exactly!

I would have told him to put his helmet back on and get back to his bus.

 

[CalebToNowhere]

Good thing he was concerned about the kids when he went all mental and started drawing attention to himself when he launched into his profanity laiden rant.

Exactly... I fail to see how the presence of a firearm is less social acceptable than loud profane verbal attacks. Whose the bigger danger to young minds? Law abiding citizen or self righteous mouth poopers?

Way to keep cool, sure it wasnt easy
