Concealed carry is fine but just walking around with one in your hand is kind of crazy. I don't think it's wrong for people to be upset about it especially in a country that experiences a mass shooting every week minimum. He's attention seeking and looking for a reaction. Who goes fishing walking in public with an AR style rifle? Idiotic. "If we can inform them." Yeah then people start seeing an armed guy walking around they call it in and the cops say meh it's legal so nothing we can do then said guy goes on a mass shooting killing 20+ people then the police sh*t all over the cops for that, so either way they are going to get chewed out.

@@stepheng1138 if it becomes normal that’s one thing I agree. Typically it’s not at this time. Understandably most people don’t understand why any one would carry on a fishing pier. Of course this was done to prove a point about gun rights and what’s legal I get that. A side arm is hard to miss ,but rifle or rifle like pistol slung across your chest is a statement and not the norm. If I was coming out of the woods or a rural property it fits the norm mor readily. That’s why police are called. Should we all get use to a large part of the population carrying and having to decide if their all level headed first rate gun owners or are they knuckle heads carrying because they can. I believe there’s both. So I have to assess every one that in my space mentally to decide which one they are and hope I’m right either way. Right or wrong I do this anyway guns or not to be aware of my surroundings . It’s taken up a dozen notches when guns are involved. I worked construction for over 40 yrs and have met plenty of men that I new to my bones that a gun was last thing the needed much less near them at all times. Your freedom of speech argument has some merit because there are people out there already doing just that. Sometimes people are just eat up with it which again why I really would not be comfortable seeing guns strapped to a lot of people. Me personally might have a problem with what a person says but calling law enforcement is pretty far down the line unless there’s an eminent threat to others. I own guns and support the second amendment I just have a hard time with doing it just because I can. Much of this is to educate the public I get that yet this seem just as much to educate the police . I get and understand that. It seems much safer and more productive to go to the actual police department to educate them there instead of let’s see what happens this time rising the possibility of things going side ways in public. It makes of corse great fodder for a video but seems to generate a lot of negativity towards others including the police in the comment section. To me that’s kinda like shooting your self in the foot. Not great PR for the cause. I do respect your views and enjoy discussing this.

They showed up hoping he was a felon, the gun was stolen, he was drunk, or any other number of reasons they could find to arrest him. If they told people it wasnt illegal to open carry they couldnt show up and harass him, and others might start open carrying.

He's right about the supreme Court case law and many others. The police have no duty to protect citizens per the US supreme Court. There was another case where a woman tried to sue because the police didn't respond to a woman's call they came and didnt make the effort to check for problems and kids were harmed and some stopped breathing (can't say certain words or comment will be deleted). The case law cleared the officers and the police department because they had no duty to protect the citizens.
