Is This What Was Meant By "Open Carry"

in the uk guns are so banned even most cops don't carry, yes we have un(fire)armed police, unless u have a gun then the stormtroopers arrive with heavy weapons and kill you but hardly ever happens, your 2nd A once lost will never be returned, all I can have is a 12 ftlb air rifle...lol

My point is that, without one single threatening action from the guy in the pic, intimidation is in the eye of the beholder. Calling him a terrorist is beyond all common sense imo. He made sure to operate within the law, and terrorism is unlawful. Calling his legal act of expression* terrorism is simply cementing the idea that an exposed gun is somehow ... rude. That is why I have posted in this thread, to expose that attitude and dismantle it.

*which now makes it a First Amendment issue

An old man got angry that another guy was texting during movie promos before the real movie started. He confronted the texter. The texter threw popcorn in the old man's face. Old man shot him dead. The old man is pleading innocent based on stand your ground. The trial hasn't started yet. Win or lose, the stand your ground law made somebody dead. Rational decisions when fearful -- not congruent.

Even with hundreds of hours of training, cops make bad choices some of the time during tests. Civilians are going to be better? If you can't be certain that you will make the right choice, what right do you have to carry?

Curtis Reeves trial: Defendant not guilty of murder, jury finds

Jurors took about 3½ hours to acquit Reeves, apparently heeding defense arguments that he killed Chad Oulson in self-defense.

DADE CITY — Eight years after he fired a pistol inside a Wesley Chapel movie theater, Curtis Reeves was found not guilty of murder in the death of Chad Oulson.

A panel of four men and two women took about 3½ hours Friday night to acquit the retired Tampa police captain, apparently heeding defense arguments that Reeves killed Oulson in self-defense.

The late-night verdict punctuated one of the Tampa Bay area’s longest-running and most closely-watched criminal cases — one that persisted through a 2017 stand your ground self-defense hearing, appeals, court delays and, finally, a three-week trial.

In the courtroom gallery, Oulson’s widow, Nicole, wept openly as the verdict was read out. She sat in her seat trembling, then immediately sped out of the courtroom with her mother and friends following behind.
