Man Wearing Camo Shuts Down Philly Visitor's Center

[danb]

makes you wonder who reported this and why. Could be full libotard in panic mode, but also could be someone getting back at an ex, someone testing police response, or any one of a handful of other reasons i could think of.

People are nervous. Cops are jumpy.Security people get lectures every morning on what to look for.
You are just asking for trouble going into a National monument wearing full camo.
Duh.

Only thing worse would have been someone dressed like a Muslim and carrying an Umbrella wrapped in brown paper (just bought it in a nearby store and had it gift wrapped)

What about hidden pockets? They're OK, right?

 

[tangent]

Whew!!!
I got out of PA just in time!
Good thing thing I moved to a state where I can be safe by ccw... Oh wait I can't do that here.
Well, at least I can buy a firearm easier here... oh crap, I can't do that either!
Can I at least buy ammo if I were to ever get a gun? Not right now...

Well, what the heck can I do to be safe down here in MD?!?!?!?!!?!?!??

CCP (Concealed Carry Pocket), well, I think you would need a police report or three to demonstrate you are in risk of imminent harm and wait 8 months to a year to get a permit for those...

Which would be most likely declined...

Well I once saw a guy tuck a polo shirt into some jungle bdus, it was pretty offensive.

But seriously, military members never visit the bell in ACU's/ABU's?

You want to see scary?

There is a fella around here with a pink popped collar and crabby shorts!

 

[whistlersmother]

If I get those pants in Heavy Pocket form, are they cash-and-carry or do I have to go butt naked for 60 days until they're approved?

 

[wilcam47]

Thankfully my black long sleeved MD Shooters shirt just came in. Along with my rural country bumpkin high capacity Wrangler cargo pants, it'll be grandfathered in when the law goes into effect.

Now I just need to rip off some newb on GoneBroker by selling my Blackhawk tacticool pnats for obscene prices.

Fools, I say.

The guy should have been wearing his sister's jeans with a tight T-shirt, I guess.

These urbanites, this wussification is baffling. It's make people rethink who they even choose to speak too on a daily basis.

A typical hunter wakes up some days - leaves his house at 3 am. When he arrives at a Parking lot many miles from his home he sees a guy dressed in Camo with a rifle or 12 ga. Shotgun - in the dark.

It's 4am and he approaches the stranger with the loaded gun.

"Which way are you headed?"

All the while, Metrosexuals are at home. They fool their wives to make them believe they are tough. By 9am the Metrosexual is at a coffee house reading the New York Times sipping on a $10 coffee and snack.

I noticed in the pictures of the Boston Bombing some of the first people to help were in full camo. PC run amok!

 

[arcticdc5]

Register your camo folks!

Yeah, but he doesn't go visit a National Monument at 4AM with a loaded gun.....Just sayin..

"Nothing dangerous was found, but the man was taken into custody for questioning. No charges have been filed.

“Obviously, it’s the Visitor’s Center, Independence Mall,” McGarrey said. “We’re going to take every precaution necessary.”"

Visitor's Center, Independence Mall . . . anyone spot irony there?

These Camo outfits shouldn't be on the streets, only the military needs camo, no reason for civilians to have Camo.
