Just another poorly-trained outlier. Nothing to see here.
Wanna bet they find this guy curled up in the fetal position clutching his gun to his chest, crying, “Don’t let them take it away, Mommy!”?
Look, bozo: numero uno, you’re not a cop. You don’t need to carry your gun everywhere in order to protect the public safety. You’re a soldier. When you’re sent to Afghanistan or wherever, you will need your gun. And even then, you won’t be allowed to just carry it around with you on base, if I understand military policy correctly.
Numero two-o: if you don’t feel secure without it when you’re in the Nicholasville, KY Waffle House, then maybe you should eat at someplace where you actually feel safe. Like your own kitchen, because I doubt anywhere else would fill the bill.
Seriously, this is one of the things that always gets me about gun owners wanting to take their guns into places (restaurants, bars, etc.) where you’re there to relax, eat, drink, and have fun. If you don’t feel that that place is safe enough for you to spend time in without your gun, then jeez, find some other place to relax in where you don’t have to worry about needing a firearm all of a sudden.
Numero three-o: just put the gun in the glove compartment when you leave the house, then lock the glove compartment and the car itself when you leave the car to go into a business establishment. It ain’t that hard. And you can stand to be without your gun for long enough to eat breakfast, you big baby.
Numero four-o: it’s their restaurant. You’re not the one who was imposed upon here, though that’s how you acted. Rather, you made the morning an awkward one for a couple of waitresses who did their best to be diplomatic with a guy who could have killed them right then and there.
I don’t feel safe in a Waffle House either. But I assume it’s the *food *that’s dangerous.
This story is hinky. Army folks, are you allowed to wear a personal firearm in an exposed holster while in uniform? I would think that would violate the uniform regs.
Secondly, he’s not allowed to bring his gun on any US military installation – are the rules for guard bases different? I doubt it. So what was he planning on doing, parking his car off base? Violating the rules? Or going home first to drop off his gun?
If he was going home after breakfast, then he probably shouldn’t have been in uniform.
Sounds like a douchebag all around.
The syrup makes me twitchy.
I was in the NG over 30 years ago. We were discouraged from wearing our fatigues outside of drill; you could get away with stopping at the grocery store on the way home from drill, but sitting in a restaurant wouldn’t have been cool. Personal weapons at the NG Armory were out of the question.
I ate there once and dubbed it “The Awful House”.
Another responsible gun owner has a bad day, kills 15 people at an Oregon community college.
Oh no. According to the N.R.A. he has had a blood-red letter day.
These are the days they dream of. The stuff of advertising campaigns.
The stuff of the 2nd Amendment.
Sick fucks.
Do we actually know anything about the shooter yet, or is “responsible gun owner” just snark?
More snark, or are you actually claiming the NRA has commented on the shooting?
Oh. Not snark.
Sad truth.
Link please.
In America, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. So until we hear otherwise, he is a responsible, lawful gun owner.
Or are you suggesting we should make assumptions about guilt in the absence of evidence?
“Now is not the time” etc. :rolleyes:
He was teaching. Teaching about bullets and fear and stuff.
We’ve been through all of this before.
Now is not the time… good guys with guns…yada yada yada.
Hey, Damuri, tell us more about this “exposure therapy” shit.
Good lord, there’s some sick fucks out there.
