I's so glad no ones taking your bait.
Well done jsp

having an open carry firearm is an escalation of violence, this is basic firearm safety training.

Got any data to back that up.
I live in a permit less open carry state, I go to the gas station and see guns every day.
I'm not seeing any violence.

On top of that we're in the bottom 5 of gun crimes in all states.

How do you know this is what Kyle was thinking though? How do you know he knowingly put himself in danger so he could open fire and claim self defense?

Also, are "protests" in your country really that bad? What you just described (people throwing bricks and all that) sounds like mob violence and street fighting. Almost like a riot.

While I personally disagree with open carrying in most circumstances mainly as I believe it makes you a target, and I guess because it makes people uncomfortable in general and just isn't worth it, it absolutely is not "basic firearm safety training" that open carry is an escalation of violence. Where are you pulling that from? What formal firearms training do you have where this is taught as a basic fact as apposed to an opinion that will net you different answers from different people in the firearms community?

It's all he has left of his argument is pretending to know what his intentions were.
Let him be so he can type things.

Don't mind him. He has only seen a gun on a police officer. If you put down a gun in front of him, even if it's unloaded, he passes out.

We don't know. The jury will have to make a decision based on the evidence presented. If they think his actions and evidence point to this as his mental state then he will be convicted.

Inferring mental state is routine for juries. It's a factor in almost every trial both civil and criminal.




Snipa loves guns. At least try to not be dumb

Makes sense.

if there isn't a gun in a room, and there is a gun in a room, which room has a higher chance for a violent death to occur without factoring in humans?

guns aren't costume pieces, any time you carry one you have to be ready to use it, and in this case to kill another human being.

i'm well aware of open carry versus concealed carry differences in violent crime, i'm speaking to how people are trained to carry firearms and what to expect other people to think about it. comparing a state like Vermont to Texas isnt helpful because the reactions to guns generally are so different.

if a fist fight is happening and i walk into break it up with my gun in hand instead of unarmed the gun scenario is more of an escalation of violence, even if it is far more likely to deescalate the fight without me eating a punch.



my family owns a gun store ive worked in and am a part owner in, i teach hunter's safety course, have been a lifelong NRA member, own more guns than anyone should, and can hit a clay pidgeon with an open sight 22 at 150 yards after a sixer of milwaukees best ice.
