I'm betting this guy is either an ANTIFA, Liberal, Socialist out to make gun owners look bad, or he's trying to give open carry a bad name, or he was on a dry run. I would not be surprised at any trick the Left tries to pull. All they know is deception.

Open carry is "good" and should be lawful in all areas.

Also - Open carry is not a smart thing to do especially right now.

Just because you CAN walk around with an AR in Walmart, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Regardless, idk enough of the story to make a decision on how I feel about it. If he was walking in carrying it like Billy Bad Ass just to prove a point, then he's a full blown retard, and probably lucky some vigilant guy didn't turn his head into a canoe. If he had it packed or in his cart, maybe to see what kind of ammo to buy? I guess that makes sense.

What exactly did the guy do that was illegal?

Was it illegal to open carry in his state?

Was it illegal for him to open carry in that Walmart?

If not, then there was no crime. So why was he arrested?

And, why did someone else, who was obviously also carrying a gun stop him? If he was carrying a gun too, concealed or open carry, he would have known the laws too. Why wasn't he also arrested for having a firearm? Just because he stopped a guy that was opening carrying with a rifle?

100 rounds. wow. He should be limited to only 3. Who needs more than 3 rounds to shoot a deer?

100 rounds. I go through that in one session at the range. More than that. It's only a couple of boxes. I remember once my buddy and I were getting ready to go hunting, realized we needed more ammo. We were both in camo and open carrying. We walked into a Walmart and went back to the gun counter. Bought about 1000 rounds and walked out. No one gave a shit. That was 20 years ago. NOW? SWAT would show up, women would scream and hide their babies. The Propaganda is very effective.

I think that open carrying an AR15 is irresponsible - this type of behaviour (although legal) will get someone hurt and it is totally unnecessary. I would also freak out if some guy was walking around with an AR or AK. The bad guys can hide behind this law and wonder around un-checked and start firing. If you are insisting on owning this type of weapon, be responsible.

Normally carry laws apply to hand guns, not rifles. Rifles are normally handled differently. For instance here, rifles and shotguns can be carried in a car or truck, if put in plain sight with no permit at all. You can also carry them into a sporting good store if need be. Taking them to a mall though is certainly questionable.

What is it with Walmarts? Are they in on it for the exposure or are they astroturfing with their employees to stop selling guns?

Headline is misleading. There wasn't a bad guy with a gun to stop.

This was not a potential mass shooting. This was a guy testing the system and exercising his rights. Missouri is an open carrier state. This guy broke no laws. We need everyone to be armed ala the wild west days. I read something the other day. The predator is prepared, the prey is usually not. We need to change that. If these retards thought everyone was carrying, perhaps they'd be less rambo-like.

how deep state mind controlled shooters are made?

MSM won't cover this, though.

1st thing I think: Is it inherently illegal in that jurisdiction to openly carry a long gun, 100 rounds of ammo, and wear body armor?

2nd thing: Was the purported 'good guy with a gun' not also carrying a firearm and ammo?

3rd thing: What would happen to the level of civility -- and the frequency of lunatic 'mass shootings' -- if a mere 10% of the general population lawfully and openly carried an assault type weapon? [No need to limit this to 10%.]

The prevalence of snowflaky, knee-jerk reaction to the sight of a firearm ... and body armor ... is quite an unnerving thing. A few weeks ago, I was at a local Walmart. Carrying concealed. Observed a fellow openly carrying a holstered Glock (a sheathed tac knife also on his belt) and wearing a Gadsden (don't tread on me) 'abstract' t-shirt. He and his wife were ... wait for it ... shopping.

I respectfully approached, and said, "Um, sir, I couldn't help but notice . . . your t-shirt. Nice!"

He smiled, shook my hand, and said, "Thank you."

"I wonder..." I went on to say, "Not that it matters, but how many of the sheeple in this place know that they are safer because of people like us. Be well, patriot."

"God bless ya, brother." Replies the pistol packing gentleman.

Just two privileged white supremacists having a chance encounter, I'm sure.

A guy open carries in a Wallmart, and goes to the sporting goods section to buy ammo. Has 100 rounds in his cart, and probably a decent amount on him because this was America. The manager freaks out and pills the fire alarm, and he calmly leaves with the other people. A fireman sees him and assumes the worst and points a gun at his head. He doesn't resists and the police talk to him and don't take him in because he broke no laws.

Then the media claims there was an attempted shooting all because some manager was a liberal pussy and started a dangerous situation by pulling the fire alarm. Why are people pushing against open carrying by spreading fake news that portrays anyone open carrying as a possible shooter.

Possible FF that didn't go according to plan? Potential shooter's programming all fucked up? Who knows. We'll never know.

Not "former" firefighter, and off-duty fireman.
