LOL that hero mentality is hilarious. How many gun toting ATOTers have that hero mentality? You guys fantasize about how you will save the day at some point, don't you.

The ATOTER hero scenario in your head:

"I was just minding my own business waiting in line at the bank, when 2 armed men ran inside demanding money. They looked a pregnant women and threatened to kill her if they didn't get paid. So, I did what any decent person would do. I approached the men and offered them my wallet. As they reached for it, I stabbed one man with a pen, grabbed his gun and shot the other guy. They both went down with a thunder clap. I don't consider myself a hero"

Everybody wants to be a hero. What's wrong with that? I am pretty sure you'd be glad someone with the stones to do something other than sit there and cry about how everyone was going to die despite outnumbering an assailant 30-1 was there if it came down to it. I'd rather die fighting than die cowering.

As for this story, stupid decision to just attack the guy. For all he knew, it could have been a cop.

Lol, if I see anybody with a loaded gun in Walmart I leave. In this case it was a black guy so I used an example the same as what happened here.

You get that?


Edit: you are a fool not to be scared. People with guns are dangerous. If by avoiding gun nuts I avoid shootings I'm "scared"?

You fucking gun retards are out of your minds. Look at you! Foaming at the mouth at the prospect of "being a hero". Is that what you idiots think you are, heroes?


lmfao

The man is a moron. And very lucky to not have been shot.

Also, I am not sure how his actions make him a liberal or a conservative.

Seriously. That's why I posited that Wal-Mart was the hero in this scenario.



Wal-Mart is the most politically conservative character in the story!


Maybe they are the hero for concentrating their crappy stores in states that are stupid enough to let people wander around with firarms on their person at all times?

Nearly every state has a CCW program and many allow open carry. So I guess Walmart shouldn't open stores in the US.

Me too, although sometimes is's a bitch to get the carrier to open the gun so I can check the chamber for bullets. If that gun aint loaded I aint leaving.

"Sir! Sir! Let me see your gun sir! I need to see if it is loaded so I know if I should leave or not."

BShole don't you think it's possible I was referring to the guns the store sells itself? If this is a wal mart it sells guns, and I'm not going to walk out the store if some clerk is showing a guy an unloaded gun.


So no, I don't have x-ray vision, nor do I have to ask somebody if it's loaded to know if it's loaded as long as it's from the store. Which is what I was referring to in the first place.

Anything else?

Oh and moonbog you might want to edit that comment. I hope it doesn't mean what it appears to mean.

K I somehow got them mixed up.


I don't think attacking random black people with holstered weapons is heroic. Stupid maybe, but heroic?

If I see a black dude with a holstered gun in wal mart I leave wal Mart. That's me heroically saving my ass and not getting involved.
Best steer clear of Tennessee then. Black people here are allowed to get CC permits just like normal people.

I've seen plenty of people carrying and it's never occurred to me that they might be criminals. People with holsters and people committing armed robbery are not sets that greatly overlap.

Imagine that, blacks allowed to do something like normal people do. Is your racism showing?

Stupid monkeys and their lead spitting tools.

They practice a religion. It has sacred objects and canonical regulations and ritual displays. They have no idea how stupid they look to civilized people. All these people are either paranoid delusionals or grew up in cultures that suffer from the contagion of deep inferiority as a result of losing the Civil War. Egos that are damaged need lots of propping up. Those infected with deep inferiority complexes always express themselves like the Right idolized Putin. The CBD runs on fear that tries to hide behind tough.

Open carry? I am very surprised open carry people don't get harassed all the time.



:thumbsup: LOL

It was under his jacket, the guy saw it in the parking lot probably as he was getting out of his car and followed him into the store.

The douche is absurdly lucky he didn't get shot, if he had I'd be calling it a good shoot as it could be reasonably thought the guy was going for his gun.

CCW carriers are one of the least likely groups of people to ever commit a felony. Those pesky facts again....

He's describing the expectation of others that wouldn't. Take your slander elsewhere.


Lol no he wasn't, he was mischaracterizing my statement and slandering me! Funny you weren't so quick to jump in and "clear things up" when it wasn't one of your ignorant gun loving buddies!
