Open Carry Incident - Vincennes

[Yup!]

So he must be mentally unstable and out to kill people? Is that what you're getting at? Why aren't you afraid of those who carry handguns?

Oh hardly. I like people who carry guns!

my point is ones background can not determine ones intent and therefore is irrelevant.

Slung over the shoulder, barrel straight down. For what it's worth, he has been been a member of the military for three years and has put thousands of rounds through that weapon. I can't think of many people I would trust more with a rifle.

Maj Hassan was in the military a lot longer than that.....

No, if we had constitutional carry he could have carried a handgun.
No permission slip required.

.

iirc, he had a Larry, but no handgun, so constitutional carry would not have changed anything.

What's that supposed to mean?

 

[Yup!]

being in the military doesn't automatically make you a non threat.

A persons background can not predict their intent.

dont read into it any more than that.

I believe he was using the military background just to show that he was familiar with the weapon platform, not as an example of his character.

Regardless, no one else in the McD's had that nugget of information. So when assessing the threat, his actions speak louder than his resume.

Three years in and thousands of rounds, either his been in a lot of fire fights or he sucks at qualifying with his weapon. What was his MOS?

It was a AR15... not a M16, or what ever the military shoots now days. It was his personal gun in which he put 1000's of rounds through.

 

[Yup!]

Is he still in?

 

[stephen87]

Since it says "he has been" and not "he was," I would assume he still is. I may be wrong though.

You guy's still beating this horse.....

 

[Yup!]

You guy's still beating this horse.....

i saw it move.....

 

[churchmouse]

i saw it move.....

Then hit it again.......

 

[Yup!]

Then hit it again.......

So let me get this straight.... He had an automatic weapon at a family restaurant?
