Thanks to a gun toting gent in Lafayette

[bpatter6]

I don’t post often and i wasn’t going to post this but I think it is time to get this off my chest. I was at the Tippecanoe mall the end of last month when I was fortunate enough to witness a great spectacle. A guy carrying what looked like an S&W mp sc on his hip in plain sight. He was with his wife and carrying his little girl when I notice a security guard approach him. Now it was obvious what was going to happen, this mall is a Simon property and most folks know that you will be asked to leave if caught with a gun there. Well the security guard made contact with him in a pleasant way(surprise)but the guy began to shout at the guard and rant and rave, cursing up a storm. I looked around at all of those customers watching this idiot and I thought to myself that this gent is one of the reasons the main stream public views us negatively. You sir, if you read this, are a complete idiot. If you are open carrying, you are, whether you like it or not a representative of us all. If you cannot handle the rejection of a known anti-gun establishment with a little dignity then please carry concealed or not at all.

Nah he was just excersizing his 1st amendment rights as well as his 2nd. Don't call people idiots when you don't really know them, there just might be more to the story than you know.

Exactly.

I'm all for not making judgements, but Freedom of Speech doesnt necessarily include volume. There are ways to express yourself and get your point across without raising your voice and using expletives.

-1 to the guy for making a scene and making us all look bad.

-1 for the guy but he didn't make me look bad, he made HIMSELF look bad!

bpatter6...is correct, if one gun owner screws up we all get blamed. Treat others as your treated, the security guard seemed to act in a respectful manner, the person OCing should have too. People passing by see someone with a weapon acting crazy...Who catches the heat? We all do

Would be kinda nice to know the Other Side of the Story as well...

There may have been a reason for the Display?!

 

[jeremy]

By the way this reminds me...

It is once again time to send my letters off to the Stores that operate within the Simon Malls. So they once again know how much Revenue they have lost because of Simon's Policies...

There is never a reason for screaming, shouting and a complete lack of decency.

Really?!

So you are saying that you have NEVER raised your voice towards another?! BS!

I'd gladly raise my voice at you. Just gimme a reason!

If you could not hear the complete conversation, don't be so quick to judge. There is nothing wrong with expressing your right to free speech. However, do not give other gun owners a bad name by flying off the handle. If someone does not want me to carry in their establishment. I will leave, and they will get no more of my business. If you carry in the open, like it or not, you are representing gun owners. Mo

Outta sight, outta mind....Never had a problem in a Simon mall....I just dont advertise...

completely agree

I have and I was wrong for doing it. I sure felt better after the fact though. Come see me in the shop, I'll show you how it's done.

Maybe the security guard was hitting on his wife?
