Open Carry Incident - Vincennes

[stephen87]

I can't believe you stole my 1000 thunder.

 

[HoughMade]

OK. My work is done here.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Are you SURE!?

If the rifle is slung properly and they are not handling it, I don't care.

Ok, here's a question then. Earlier someone stated that a rifle was a better weapon for self-defense than a pistol. Others have stated that carrying a rifles should viewed as being no different than carrying a handgun. Let's assume both are acknowledged. Does having those beliefs indicate that be that belief such would be totally ok with every member of law enforcement carrying rifles during their everyday duties while serving the public. Surely, this wouldn't be viewed negatively, right? And if it is, why exactly.

I don't see anything wrong with it. If a law abiding citizen can do it, why shouldn't a LEO?

Cops should carry as they wish. Whatever works for them and their departments.

I do think the rifle might get in the way while writing tickets though.

I have found that it is much easier to eat donuts carrying a handgun vs a rifle.

You see nothing wrong with law enforcement officers carrying long guns strapped to their backs during every single instant they deal with the public? And you think this is something that the public should happily embrace? Lol, well allow me to step away from those would support this and say that I would never ever want to ever see that day come to pass. And if it did, hope that I had turned in my badge long ago, and found a society a little less threatening.

That is just a matter of technique though. If you put the barrel of the rifle through the hole of the doughnut and eat it like a pop-sickle or taffy apple, problem solved. Rifles for everybody.

I have done this with my chocolate devilsfood but found it messy when I eat my jelly filled.

Sorry but it doesn't bother me. I did live in NYC for a while though, and was around LEO's with long guns every day in the subway system. I find no reason to restrict their mode of self defense, even if it hurts someone's feelings.

Whoop whoop

You can tell a guy that's recently retired....

If you put your jelly donut over the muzzle of your rifle, or even a pistol, that wouldn't that be considered a supressor, would it?

and on their own property!!!!

It took you 1001 other posts to finally quit? Your persistence and tenacity is admirable!

A catapult. Or any type of trebuchet for that matter.
