HELP: Banned from restaurant for CCW

[HICKMAN]

You're starting to sound like one who would argue that we take all guns away to prevent deaths...

There is a difference between looking at a firearm and going on a shooting spree. Even "waving" a gun around is a far cry from being a clear and present danger.

Nice straw man, but way off topic.

Situational awareness is all I am referring to.

Thats because INGO does NOT have negative rep!

That must be where all of my rep has gone!

 

[mbills2223]

Really? I'm thinking if someone walks into a public area and starts waving a gun around, most would consider that a danger. It's certainly not going to attract positive attention.

Sorry, my word use in that post was poor. Someone waving a gun around is not necessarily malicious, and depending on what is meant by waving a gun around in the air, they may or may not present a danger.

I'd still make sure that his stance/actions weren't aggressive before I did anything serious. My hand might start moving towards my weapon, but after realizing he was just doing something not incredibly intelligent, I'd pass it off as adjusting some article of clothing, or something.

Thank you, someone who gets my point.

How is this?

Nice straw man, but way off topic.

Not a straw man, and not that far off topic.

I too am referring to situational awareness. Being aware enough of my situation to know whether I need to draw a weapon or tell some guy to put his piece away.

Thank you, someone who gets my point.

He said virtually the same thing that I did. He said evaluate the situation and have the presence of mind to recognize a threat versus a non-threat.

So what do you think....mbills2223 and MikeDVB are the same guy with 2 INGO profiles? One posts and the other pats him on the back. I don't think I need 2 profiles.....

Admin or mods can determine if these people are posting from the same IP address pretty easily.

I'm just making a comment and want to see what my new avatar looks like. Since and all we're beating a dead horse now.

just walk away and dont go back till the bartender quits...dont let them know your name or it could mean more trouble...it will blow over if you dont make an issue of it...hopefully not everyone knows who you are there....learn from it and move on

13 pages in 1 hour?

Really? So that's what you would have done??? Most gun owners have much better discipline than that...

But then again, I guess...

Did I say I would draw down on him? I didn't think so. I said he was lucky no one did. You take things for granted much?

*she*



And I believe HICKMAN was more specifically referencing the fact that I acknowledged that my hand would start drifting gun-ward.

So I'm more on both of your sides.

Okay kids, lets start playing nice and getting along.

No, wait, I take that back, all the fighting can get entertaining.

I would like to know what restaurant this was, if it was Ruth's Chris you may be outta luck as the owner is a bit of a jaggoff

 

[HICKMAN]

Where did I say anything about taking someone's guns away?

My conversion is being in a restaurant seeing a drawn gun.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Sounds like you shouldn't carry a gun into a bar if you won't be thinking. Carrying a gun and not thinking are not a good combination.

13 pages in 1 hour?

Only 4 for me, I choose to click 'next page' as little as possible .

 

[Ruffnek]

Not the smartest move of the month...

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Why the hell would you upholster your firearm in a public place unless it was to use it for protection?

Really, is this one of those joke threads? Where's the one this is goofing on?

If this is serious, you got in trouble for taking your gun out and playing with it.

 

[HICKMAN]

No, you didn't. You told one poster the he'd draw down on him, when he never said as much.

I followed up with a question of how long you would wait before reacting and you responded with "you must be one of those people who want to disarm...."

I think we all know you're on the same page and one person just wasn't as good at explaining it via a text-based medium as another.

Let's let this one go?

Let's let this one go?

and where is the fun in that?
