Re: Man arrested for open carry in CO
Well in other respects, its my right to dress up as The Joker and go see The Dark Knight, which is still in theaters. Much like the guy in the article, I am harming no one. Would anyone here care to enlighten me if behavior like that is appropriate with what happened a week an a half ago? Yes, there are your rights, but come on, time and place do have some meaning. I know the "It his right and you cant do anything about it" crowd is gonna get sand in their vaginas because they are gonna get the impression that I want to restrict this man's right, well I dont, and that has nothing to do with it. But I do think that some people need to practice a little self restrain. If he had a CC permit, why didnt he just CC and avoid attention. I really dont want to think that this guy is THAT stupid, nor would I think that someone who is pro-gun/carry would honestly think this was a good idea.
Oh, as far as the law. I have no idea what the law says in Co. Nevada is an OC/CC state as well. But that is the state. Some local juristictions, like N. LV, have ordinances restricting OC, but are ok with CC. Buisnesses also have the right to refuse entrance to a person with a weapon. So if this arrest has no merit, and not crime was commited, well, then I hope he has a settlement coming to him.
I know a lot of folks that ignore buisnesses that request that no weapons be allowed. You know what they do? They dont make it OBVIOUS. Thus allowing them to still have the ability to defend themselves AND not INTENTIONALLY trying to draw attention. Its bad enough that the 2A is back in the spotlight, those wishing to get it out of the crosshairs really should use common sense, and not try to make a statement, at least not like this.
