Man open carries AR15 and has it stolen at gun point.

[Paul30]

Aparently when you open carry, the criminal element knows you have a gun and a few of them may decide to take it from you at gun point. I know this has been discussed here at length, but this is a recent news article on how it just happened. The owner did retrieve a 2nd gun and start shooting at the guy and seemed to get his rifle back. Oddly enough another guy shot the robber after the fact. The climate today is different and the rules are different than they were in prior years. Criminals are emboldened by the current 2 tier justice system of revolving doors for them and charging the good guy with a gun with murder when it is self defense. Clown world seems to have changed how criminals behave.

A man had his AR-15-style rifle stolen at gunpoint. He then used a second gun to open fire on the robber, police say.

A Missouri man who had his AR-15-style rifle stolen at gunpoint retrieved a second gun from his car, using it to shoot the accused robber, police say.

Never been a believer in 'open carry'. I'm snakey like that

A. Short of a trench coat, how exactly would one concealed carry an AR15?

B. I'm all for anyone exercising their rights lawfully in whatever manner suits their purposes or desires. Having said that, it might also be wise to apply situational awareness when doing so. Flashing an AR15 is not materially different from flashing a Rolex. Expect someone to try to get a drop on you. Especially in North St. Louis County. Crime is relatively high in Wellston.

C. Why was the backup gun in the car, instead of on his person?

Exactly. It takes a lot of stretching and twisting to try to make that about OCing.

I've read this several times. It makes less sense every time I read it.

The victim fled with his rifle while the accused robber, who had been shot several times, remained on the scene. A third man then also shot him, police said.

Maybe if criminal activities always had such swift and painful repercussions people would be discouraged and find a different line of work.

Open carrying an AR in a grocery store ?
That must be a very rough neighborhood.

Maybe the third man is attached to one of the women bystanders that were hit. Or maybe he just decided, "when in Rome...."

I was also confused by this part:

unlawful possession of a firearm

Wait, so this criminal was a felon? Why the heck is he out on the streets?

You think all felonies should have life sentences?

They have a Soros bought and paid for prosecutor.

No. I think violent felons should be executed for their crimes. Non-violent felonies shouldn't even be a thing. If someone is able to be walking around, he should have his rights restored.

I agree if you can pay a fine and it is no longer a crime…. That shouldn’t be a law to begin with

 

[KLB]

If someone is able to be walking around, he should have his rights restored.

This I agree with.

Executing every person convicted of a "violent" felony, not so much.

Non-violent felonies shouldn't even be a thing.

What would you classify stealing a large sum of money?
What about stealing cars?

Like the fire triangle, once all components are in the same place at the same time bad things can happen.

1) Person displaying thing of obvious value
2) Person(s) willing to use violence to obtain item of value from #1
3) 1+2 sharing the same physical location that #2 feels comfortable acting in.

Guns are items of obvious value, particularly for those who use violence to get things they want routinely. They are not afraid of your gun. A non-insignificant number of them have already been shot at least once.

And this furball ended up getting two bystanders shot as well...

Coup de grace?

Curious to see who gets charged with what and who the women sue in court. Should be interesting.
