Don't Be This Guy

[Blaster229]

Non LEO guy (doesn't matter tho) rolled up into Starbucks picking up an order. Open carry and bellied right at the counter waiting.
Nothing stopping a bad guy smashing his face down into the counter.
When he walked in he didn't look around, assess anything.
Easy target.

He could have backed up against the wall waiting. There would have at least been a position a advantage.

Don't open carry and don't be this guy. But people will.

Is that the Starbucks that i am thinking it is, or is this in your travels?

He should not give himself haircuts. The back of his head is a mess!

You would know

Is that the same gun he qualified with?

 

[Kman]

I couldn't be that guy.
Too young, too much hair (and fvcked up hair), going to Starbucks, fish belly/corpse pale and open carrying in public.

 

[Moonlighter]

How do you know if he's LEO or not? Just curious...

In the back parking lot at Costco after taking an Uber there. Because Walmart kicked him out for having a musket.

Honestly I don't see the issue here....
I'm starting to see more and more people open carry in Maryland and I think that's a good thing....

What did Teratos do to his hair???

He had nothing on his belt but a little laminated card. I've seen handgun instructors do this.
Cops at least have a badge around their neck or nothing at all.

I just avoid Starbucks so no issue........

Blaster complains of too much hair in the face. He's always outside spoon

Why do idiots go to Starbucks when WAWA is right down the street?

This isn't a Starbucks thing. But do you avoid open carrying?

Yes, I prefer anonymity. Others can do as they please.

A little cringe maybe, especially with the "Is that a cop?" haircut.

I think the worst cringe for me is when I walked into Freestate recently-ish to check out their inventory and I couldn't tell if some of the employees were about to play airsoft or if they were kitted up in battle belts, level 69 safariland duty holster, multiple extra mag pouches and various other belt accessories for something...

Compared to when I walk into a gun shop way up my way in Harford and you can just assume they are (concealed) carrying
