re: Cop stands up to gun nut in Texas.

I'm all about some 2nd amendment but a guy walking down the street with a rifle strapped to his back and wearing a kilt is going to raise a question or two. I'm about 5 minutes in and the cop seems to be handling it well.

When will these open carry idiots realize that they are causing more harm than good. You'll NEVER convince someone who is on the fence on gun ownership by walking around town with an AR strapped to your back. I'm and NRA member, and a shooting enthusiast but I find it really hard to side with the guys open carrying like this. I don't want to lose one of my favorite hobbies because some people want to frick with cops and the general public. This does more harm for the sport than ANYTHING else.

Bingo. You CAN but it doesn't mean you should all the time...especially when you're wearing a kilt and rocking an AR-15

I get the constitutional deal BUT come the hell on. LEOs have to respond to shite like this because if they DON'T and someone shoots a place up then the department gets fricked. The cop didn't come looking for a fight. He was doing his job be responding to a call. This cop handles it perfectly. If you're raising awareness for an issue then that's cool, just say what you're up to.
