Dear Diary, today I saw someone with a gun in public

[Murloc]

not bad, moderately funny.

I don't get the serious answers.

Yawn.

Gun debate was soo yesterday

 

[Fritzo]

Funny how some seem to have the same reaction seeing a black male walking down the street.

Maybe overreaction on both?

A black guy?????!!!!!! THIS JUST GOT SERIOUS!!! CALL 911!!!

That's the trouble with guns; you never know if someone is going to shoot up the place or not.

Just like with cars, you never know if it's a drunk driver behind the wheel that is about to kill someone with such a dangerous device. In fact, there are probably more drunk drivers on the road than crazy people that carry guns in public that are about to John Rambo.

Well...the OP must be a reporter because "glock" and "AK-47" are the only guns they know...and the terms are interchangeable for reporters. Don't forget, ALL guns use clips...regardless of type, even revolvers.

BTW, news of this importance probably belongs in P&N, not OT.

Actually revolvers do use clips, unlike semi auto pistols.

Fun, as it's illegal to open carry a pistol in Texas.

Open carrying a rifle is just asking for trouble.

Open carry is illegal in TX.

I think OP was spoofing or joking.
But he may have been a policeman. Of course, if he was in his civies he probably should have concealed the weapon.

Unrelated note: I saw someone open carry yesterday (Virginia) and I think its stupid.

Makes you a target for dumb assholes or paranoid housewives. The cops eyeball you too. Better to keep the weapon concealed.
