Carrying concealed and open carrying an AR pistol in MD .... tested

[TI-tick]

Open carry threads are some of our most predictable. This one ads in a 2A audit video and the open carry is an AR. If the guy carrying had been a cyclist I'd have MDS bingo.

Trifecta!

I was actually sincere, lol. By not exercising your rights to not call attention to them and just hoping and praying that the powers that be don't put their boot further on your neck is .....

IIRC we heard the same thing after similar incidents in Texas a few years ago.

By that I meant, quote who you are addressing(not saying accusing). I can take it. It gives a person the ability to defend their position.

Remind me never to wear a miniskirt, i don't want to be raped, or maybe drive a nice car or wear a nice watch.

Why would anyone tempt a criminal?

You just triggered me...

Lol

I understand that. My point is, in pointing out the law, the law may get changed so that OC is no longer lawful. That's what CA has experienced.

Well considering almost nobody with a permit open carry in MD, I’m not too worried about it. Hopefully SCOTUS will kick them in the balls and it won’t matter.
I don’t agree with the concept of not legally open carrying because the law might get changed.
F liberals, never give in to them.

F around and find out. CA did.
Zero need for dude to go into Lowe with an AR pistol. May be legal; does not make it smart.

MD is not CA, not even close. CA is crazier than the rest of the country combined.

Gotta pick and choose your battles; no sense in giving the other side ammo.

MD is about one step behind CA; the Pelosi connection.

Who in charge of what is needed? While it is not needed for me it may be for him.

Nobody

Let me break this down:

1
Not breaking any laws now.
Karens see vids, go apologetic Karen; legislature outlaws OC. Again why do you need an AR to go shopping. Particularly if you have a CCW.
Again in CA OC is outlawed and even taking a firearm out of your residence and transport is a PIA.
Recall which party controls the leg in MD.

2
LEO or citizen goes sideways with you exercising your right has the potential for injury or death. There are better ways to exercise that right.

3
I'm 100% 2A; but I'm not stupid. Need to play the game by the rules of the states and Fed.

1
F the Karens. Trying to not piss them off is impossible. If it’s not that, it would be something else with them. F them.
2
You’re convinced that someone is going to shoot you because you’re calmly carrying an AR ?(legally)
Sorry I don’t buy it.
3
Play the game according to the State and Feds?
No. As long as you’re legal nobody needs to or should “play the game” according to them.

I believe we as individuals have the ability to determine what's needed. No need to advertise.

For the record, I was there today...opted for my S&W Bodyguard instead of the AR... its tough to walk with that in my waistband. Left with a tube of silicon caulk and two yummy dirty water dogs... no run in with the man.

They don’t need ammo, they’re going to keep doing what they do regardless of what we do.
I refuse to live my life to not piss them off, they can go cry in the corner if they don’t like it.

1. Females are over half the population and they vote. Flex your AR muscle and you may find your AR nutered a la CA. There are better ways to engage folks to be 2A supporters.

2. I would say walk around tomorrow in an urban center and find out; but I won't because I think that's stupid to the extreme. Particularly in these days.

3. Again legal does not equal smart if you want to further 2A.

US society has changed:
Remember Pearl Harbor
Rember the Main
Remember the Alamo
Revolutionary War
War 1812

I reckon none of the youngsters nowdays know anything about the above; and more.

Teach that will build more than parading around with an AR.

Ok so now we're at Alamo level.
Where's your Sam Houston?

 

[RoadDawg]

LOL RD. As a former LEO I would think you would have a more nuanced approach to this.

Nobody wants to get shot but in this day and time; anyone walking around with a AR in a public place is a red flag. Legal or not a red flag.

Like I said before that's plain stupid in my mind. More likely to make trouble or freak people out. Want to make 2A friends; not too tough, let's hit the range.

The first mistake in this…was assuming to know how a former LEO “should think”. But that’s okay. Lots of folks who never were… assume they know how one thinks. Or how one is supposed to think. Don’t try to pigeon hole me into what you think I should be.

Fact of the matter is… I strongly believe in the free exercise of the 2A by honest, Law abiding, sober, non criminally prohibited, sane individuals.

I do not like open carry… ONLY because it shows the criminal element where the guns are. That gives them an advantage in any conflict. They should be surprised, as they lay bleeding out on the ground, to find that their target was armed.

But, even more, I don’t like infringement of lawful actions by EITHER side of the issue. Karens will be Karens. Fuggem when they’re wrong. My rights don’t stop at the Karen’s fence.

My read on this and you can flame me all you want.

This is OP's first post. Nothing against OP. Not sure if OP is the subject of the video or not.

Folks exercising open carry; going back to the Black Panthers in the 60's and others beyond gave rise the the BS CA laws where open carry in CA is verboten and a bunch of BS on transporting. Because you can do something does not mean you should do it.

To walk into a Lowes with a slung AR, with loaded mag, is attention seeking and actually asking for trouble; considering todays times.

And for a concealed carry holder, flat out stupid. In my opinion.

Where I'm at any LEO contact requires notifying the good Sheriff Scott Jones. And upon notification my CCW would be terminated; poor judgement. Legal or not poor judgement.

IDK where this guy got a walk on water card but that card can be withdrawn.

Flame on.

It is a Wear and Carry Permit, there is no "Concealed" in the permit at all. With the permit he, and everyone else that has one, is free to open or concealed carry in the state of Maryland.

 

[S&WDDS]

10% discount? I should've joined you guys for lunch lol

Yeah, but you weren't wearing the "cool shirt"

 

[dblas]

"I support the second amendment butt"

brah have you been outside MD?

What I find crazy about MD gun culture is even the pro gun people are anti gun. like shhhhh dont tell people I have guns. you don't want to scare the Karen's. I've been told this is a symptom of battered gun owner symptom.

The OP is doing it to educate people on their rights.

He has a severe case of BGOS. There is no cure for him.
