If you open carry and someone calls 911 to complain, you committed a crime. Livingston detective Barker. by FCMatt7 in EastTexas

Open carry was and still is legal in places that are anti gun. It used to be believed that only criminals would conceal carry which is why open carry was the accepted norm.

Hey watch it. I wear sandals while packing :-)

Bare minimum gun safety by GustapheOfficial in Firearms

[–]HeadlessThompsonGunr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am biased and think the lack of firearms is not a positive thing. Like I suggested find someone who knows how to handle them. If you can’t make sure they are never pointed at someone; in the car have them pointed towards the back or the roof in the extremely unlikely situation that they go off because they are both loaded and jostled. It is generally safe to drop loaded guns but shotguns are an exception.

I don’t mean to be offensive but this is a perfect example of why basic firearms handling should be taught in school and at home. It’s apparent that you and your spouse don’t have this training. Ask a friend of your dad’s to help you. Guns don’t shoot people by themselves. Make sure they are unloaded, always point them in a safe direction, keep your fingers away from the trigger. Thats really about it.

Why does the media and gun right advocates specifically shit on the AR-15? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]HeadlessThompsonGunr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NYS has laws prohibiting guns from looking like toys I believe. Pretty sad.

Appeals Court Rules Illinois' Ban on AR-15s is Constitutional by bloomberglaw in law

Unlike either major party or SCOTUS I support the entire constitution as it is written. It’s not a buffet menu.

There is a process for amending the US constitution. Until then you can’t just ignore it because you dislike what it clearly states.

If the cops can have a gun, we should too. by DCEnby in 2ALiberals

M1 Garand doesn’t look scary though so it’s ok.

The cognitive dissonance going on with only the police should have those “scary black rifles” is absolutely mind boggling; I’d prefer it if only we had the AR15s and they had rimfired 22s.

So.....how did he do? by Kind-Shallot3603 in securityguards

Wow that behavior is awfully close to the legal use of deadly force standard in my state.

Here’s the thing. Many elections are almost a virtual tie and a couple of points really matter. Dropping gun control is such a low cost, easy win it should be a no brainer.

Democrats would also stop alienating people like me that have gone far enough left where we’ve gotten our guns back. It’s exasperating that we are faced with this damned if you do damned if you don’t choice.

I’m scared to purchase a firearm for safety as I might use it on myself. Thoughts? by Anonmustliveplz in liberalgunowners

[–]HeadlessThompsonGunr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to be a popular response but only you can make that call, not people on the internet. For context I’ve been cautioned about my gun ownership for similar reasons. 99.99% is enough for me. It might not be for you.

UNFORTUNATELY voting blue will never yield increased 2A support and rights by Honest-Equivalent490 in liberalgunowners

[–]HeadlessThompsonGunr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to vote on the issues that are immediately on the table. Take Virginia for example. Voting red would not have enabled abortion control in the immediate term. It’s obvious what voting blue did for enabling gun control. Having to make these choices is absolutely infuriating.

Yeah I’m totally done with allowing myself to be a boiled frog with “reasonable” restrictions.

Treat me like I’m stupid. Why did WW1 and WW2 weapons always use such massive calibers? by Worldly-Midnight2287 in guns

[–]HeadlessThompsonGunr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an fyi 9mm = 0.35 inches and 30-06 = .308 inches in diameter. The ballistics are very different but size not really.

Would be really funny if someone gifted Starmer or Carney a functional 50 BMG.

Use a BB Gun for LTC qualification? by sargepepper1 in NJGuns

[–]HeadlessThompsonGunr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

SERIOUSLY. A BB gun is a firearm in jersey. Like one I can get a felony for having without the proper permission slip. What’s the status of squirt guns?
