AR open carry at Hafer park in Edmond

[Ethan N]

Any idiot that walks around with an AR15 rifle or pistol on their shoulder is asking for trouble. There’s a difference between a right and stupidity.

Why is it stupid? If you have a stance on something, defend it. At the very least explain why you think what you think.

It places the individual in danger, it scares innocent civilians, and causes police to respond to unnecessary situations.

Regardless of the BS excuse that it trains the police, educates the public, etc. We have enough problem keeping our rights without flaunting them just to prove our manhood.

Let’s say the Police get a “man with a gun call”. They run hot to the scene and are injured or injure someone on the way. For what? Some wannabe commando? Say you’re the idiot that refuses to drop the gun when ordered to do so and get yourself shot? You may have been “within your rights”. So what, you’re now seriously injured or dead.

I’m sure you may disagree. That’s ok, Jodie Foster still isn’t going to fall for you. [emoji12]

Maybe police shouldn’t be responding code 3 to man with a gun calls. They don’t in Norman. Dispatch asks if the person is pointing the gun or threatening anyone, and if not, they advise the caller that carrying a gun is not illegal and they usually don’t respond to the call (although they have lately to check for SDA license since some people think unlicensed carry is already legal). Why are you blaming the gun owner for the problems created by people’s irrational fears and the police’s overreaction?

And I couldn’t care less what Jodie Foster thinks of me. My wife is way hotter than her.

Because it was his actions that caused the situation. Rights have responsibilities. Every time we have a "gun incident", the cry is always, "why didn't somebody do something about him". It has been proven over and over that there really are people that should not have firearms. The problem is how to identify them. Perhaps walking around in a public area with an AR, attempting to educate the public, is an indication of a potential problem.

Good grief, we really need to stop giving assistance to those who would like to take rights away.

I fully support the rights of anyone who may lawfully own a rifle to carry a rifle in public. Saying he caused the situation simply by carrying a rifle is subscribing to trigger culture. I’m not responsible for another person’s irrational reaction to my lawful actions. You might as well say if me wearing a MAGA hat (something I wouldn’t do ) caused someone else to be terrified, I’m responsible and shouldn’t have done something so stupid. A firearm carried lawfully by someone not engaged in threatening behavior is no more a threat than a hat.

Edit: Unless it’s a Taurus.

In light of media coverage of shooting events, carrying a long gun in a public setting, such as a park, is certainly much different than wearing a MAGA hat. It was a stupid act, done hopefully without considering the conquences.

You missed the point. Enjoy trigger culture. I hear it’s a lot of fun to be able to condemn people for whatever you want just because it made you feel bad.

Most people would wonder why a person feels the need to walk around in public carrying like that. If you feel the need to exercise the right to do so then go for it. Send me a pic of the wife, I may consider consoling her when you get yourself shot. Just out of curiosity, have you ever served in the military? What training, if any, have you attended? I’m pretty sure most professionals would advise against openly carrying an AR rifle or pistol just to prove a point.
