Did you see I'm OCing?

[hopper68]

I don't care if you OC, but do you need to announce it? IMO the guy was just out to get attention.

Man carrying gun in holster prompts scare at park|Action News - Jacksonville News, Weather & Sports - ActionNewsJax.com

We have enough anti-gunners who want to make gun owners social pariahs, as evidenced by the 22 calls the police received about a man minding his own business in the park. The problem was that he wanted everyone else to know his business, too.

Here we go!

 

[Fyjimo]

Maybe he has " Little Man Syndrome ".

 

[bluewraith]

I wonder if he was a plant from one of the anti-gunner groups. Set him up with a carry license, and a firearm, just to go make an asshat out of himself without breaking any laws. I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[JetGirl]

the man was asking people if they saw his gun, saying there's nothing anyone could do about it.

What a poop head.

Wow, there was a bunch of ass clowns in this story. 22 who called 911, however many parents pulled their kids behind a dugout and the dbag officer who made the comment it was inappropriate.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

I hate people like that. I'd almost rather he be a criminal than an ***hole...

 

[Beau]

I think plant as well.

Doesnt sound like he was minding his own business... I'd like to know how many of those calls came in when he started advertising and letting people know there was nothing anyone could do. I'd hazard a guess that there are people OC'ing at baseball games pretty regular, but this is the first time I've heard of 22 MWAG calls on one guy "minding his own business". This guy is a douche and harmful to our cause.

Unless its at a Zionsville game, and Ms Watts' kid is playing ball while she has a MDA meeting behind the dugout, I too call shenanigans. No way in hell 22 people would think someone who is truly minding his own, ISN'T.

I suspect multiple plants, all on the Anti side ("gunman" included). Look up "the bystander effect".

 

[Glock10MM]

I do not see the point of people behaving like this. IMHO, they are part of the problem. OC/CC all you want but, there is no need to draw attention to oneself, put on a show, or make a scene.

It is just asinine.

You know... if the guy was just OCing and minding his own business, I'd agree 100% with you. But because he was initiating confrontation by taunting people...I don't. He caused his own drama. He incited his own troubles.
He was the biggest Massengill here. No two ways about it.

Yeah, that's why I said "he wanted everyone else to know his business, too".

 

[churchmouse]

Holy Crap. Self centered ego butt heads will be the end of us all.
Or he was a plant which makes him even worse.

Darn...can not rep you again......+10

I'd say he's a member of this site.

I'd say he's a member of this site.

Well, that was an unnecessary attack on INGO. What was the point of that comment?

Yeah, if you know something...call it out.
Otherwise, speculation served with snark makes you look like a putz.

The OC guy was being a douchebag. He should have kept his mouth shut and gone about his business. Taunting parents like he did, what did he expect? Hell yes, they were going to call the cops. And the cops have to respond to MWAG calls; the dispatcher cannot ask if the person with the gun is threatening anyone with it. We've been down that road here on INGO before.
