Open Carry had an opportunity to justify its existence – and it failed on every conceivable level. Quoting: Mayor Mike Rawlings 72375885 For Rawlings, examining the aftermath of the shooting made it clear that having dozens of scared civilians clinging to assault-style weapons during a mass shooting was a recipe for disaster. The “good guys with guns” didn’t suddenly become action heroes bravely stopping a heavily-armed lunatic. They acted like any of us would: When the shooting started, they scattered in every direction in terror of their lives. Only unlike others, these fleeing victims were strapped with weapons that sowed confusion. Any of them could have been a shooter attempting to blend in. At a moment when cops were being targeted by a sniper, officers had to track down these “innocent” gunmen just to make sure they weren’t one of the bad guys. Here’s how bad the situation became in Dallas during the shooting: Rawlings said Dallas police Chief David Brown told him that people running through the shooting scene with rifles and body armor required officers to track them down and bring them to the police department. Whether that was time that could have been spent trying to find and stop the shooter is something police will have to comment on, Rawlings said. In other words, the exact reason gun rights activists often give to justify “guns everywhere” bills is false. They don’t keep people safe, they put people’s lives at risk by causing chaos.

Open Carry is for self defense, not defense of the general public, dumbass. The Mayor is an uninformed idiot. |

They can NOT TAKE CHANCES that the person is just an innocent bystander since the consequences of that conclusion, if it is wrong, will mean the deaths of many more. The more of those types around ... the more people needed to be thoroughly checked out by the police, ie: detained and sent to the station - it is unlikely they will release them at the street level, which will distract them from finding the actual shooter. One of these days one or more of those OPEN CARRY LONG RIFLE TYPES who are in a mass shooter situation where there is an active shooter ARE going to get shot by the police who think that THAT person IS one of the active shooters. It is just bound to happen. If those carrying LONG RIFLES in a Large Protest situation are there to only "protect themselves" why in the heck are they even going to a Large Protest to begin with?

I believe in Open Carry .... but NOT a LONG RIFLE in a large crowd in a Mass Protest situation To add to this: Ohio is an "Open Carry" state and several groups have already said that they will be carrying LONG RIFLES in the crowds at the protests planned for the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Cleveland Cops are known for their SHOOT FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS LATER, mindest when it comes to armed people in a shooting situation. Just in the last 3 years they have engaged in that "sport" activity a number of times. You get a Dallas situation in Cleveland during the Republican Convention ... if you are carrying a Long Rifle in the protest group - or around it's edges - you should EXPECT TO BE SHOT YOURSELF BY THE POLICE if a mass shooting breaks out and chaos rages. Think Waco and the "shootout" by the Police - actually a targeted shooting of the Bikers by the Police, that is probably what it will look like after it's over, more dead Open Carry types than actual active shooters. |
