It got pretty exciting a few weekends ago over the removal of a UDC statue at the Parker Co courthouse. Plenty of good guys with guns, even a sniper LOL.

I'm pro-gun as much as anyone else, but this strikes me as stupid. Not helping our image. I mean, what was the point of him doing that?

Not a clue, I cringed when I saw it on a FB friends live feed.
Definitely not a good idea in my book, I was taught to only point when I intend to pull the trigger.

At this point, what's the difference in terms of optics? If you are not self-flagellating and you have white skin, you are a Nazi and racist. A gun is not making things any worse. This is a binary model now. Either you hate whites and hate yourself, or you are a Nazi.

Maybe even 5 years ago you'd be right, but now?

Nobody is going to look at that photo and go "Gee, I don't really like conservatives anymore, maybe I'll become a liberal". Then they walk over to the liberal store and get berated for white privilege and systemic racism.

It doesn't matter anymore.

I have to agree.

Might be a good thing for guns? Bad thing for white folks. :flipoff2:

What is a Texan getting arrested for anyway? The story is low on details. He didn't discharge the firearm, so what's the crime?

They can't take everyone's guns, but they will make it more and more risky to use/display them.

Another little shift, like the McClosky's. Just bit by bit make everyone aware that guns will get you in trouble.

Why are you guys not storming Austin over that?

The difference is experienced gun owner SHOULD know you never point a gun at something you dont intend to destroy. That faggot was there just to look cool to his cousin wife.

That's what I was getting at. Rifle slung, sure. No issue. Setting up on the roof of your truck? really? Hope he gets the book thrown at him.

So you wait to be a target before acquiring yours? Interesting

I'm not too familiar with armed conflicts, but is it common for marksman to stand out in plain view surrounded by people holding phones?

And target? So someone had him in their sights ready to fire on him? I mean, who is he to prop up on a truck aiming at a crowd?
 
Harry Johnson said:
What reality do you live in where pointing a loaded gun at a crowd is not supposed to get the attention of law enforcement?

What world do you live in where you are approached aggressively and wait until you are the target before taking an aggressive defensive position?

Approach an officer aggressively and see if they wait to make you a target.

Ah. So the guy on the truck aiming at the crowd with a loaded rifle was approached aggressively.

Do you see what he sees? How can you determine what he sees?

Look at the past. Theres a good possibility they are being approached aggressively.

Armed conflict being key...your words. If being approached aggressively you take an aggressive defensive position.

Can you say he wasn't? Can you say he was not looking out for someone that was?

Again...look at their past. They don't seem to be above targeting and assaulting people.

But I guess you were there or you can see more from a picture than I can.

Interesting. To be under that much pressure of and armed conflict, and still have time to park your truck, set out a mat on the roof, prop up a flag, and take aim.

And you know exactly that is what happened? Damn...you're good.

I'll take him watching my back over you or mike any day.

I can say he wasn't with a high degree of certainty. If you're actually "approached aggressively", you don't have time to set all that shit up.

And how do you know he is taking aim? How do you know he's not using the optics and scanning looking for possible issues?

Are you even looking at the picture? :confused:

Iunno. If you think that is the proper way to handle a firearm, I think you need some lessons.

Hah! Yea! Set up on a truck and use the optics to scan a crowd. Alright, you got me. +1 on the trolling

How do you know? How long does it take to throw up a sand bag? How do you know the items were not already in place? How do you know so much about shit you were not involved in or there? How do you know he wasn't just using the optics looking for issues?

Tell me....you seem to know it all. So you should not have any problems answering them.

Swat doesn't do just that?

All I'm saying is you and mike are making alot of assumptions that you don't know about.
