I thought this was illegal in every state? I know they can open carry but i thought the gun could not be loaded? The clip can have rounds but the article makes it seems as if he has one in the chamber

What is the point of being able to do something if it's something nobody ever should do?

Being reminded of our rights is a good thing.

Strong supporter of the 2nd amendment. This is just stupid though. Open carrying a rifle into an airport is just seeking attention and honestly paints the gun community as a bunch of tin foil whackos.

I know he was completely within his rights, but this stuff always rubs me the wrong way. When I carry, I personally don't want to draw attention to myself and prefer nobody know I have a gun on me.

Her father carries loaded AR-15 rifles into airports. You do not want to hit it.

This 100%. The guy isn't wrong, but he is going about his "safety" like an a-hole. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I "can" walk down the streets of the lower 9th ward in a white sheet and pointed hat, but that doesn't mean I "should".

Pussy liberals are going to jump all over this. I just have one question. When was the last mass shooting in Georgia? I'll hang up and listen.


When it does happen in an airport how the frick are you going to tell the bad guy from the good guy?

Some terrorist is going to take advantage of these frickTARDIAN gun laws we have in this country and kill a whole lot of people

and you gun lovers should admit one thing. This dude was white, a privileged gun owner profiled for nonaction..had he been Muslim looking dude and peacefully said Allah Ackbar as he walked in greeting people he would have been blasted on the spot.

He's still a douche. He's like my a-hole cousin that loves to brag about his gun in his pocket during a Christmas family gathering. I guess that makes me a commie marxist socialist liberal progressive

As reminders go, carrying a fully loaded AR-15 into a major international airport is like dragging a corpse around in public with blackened lungs ripped open and a sign saying, "Smoking is bad for your health."

Could we not publicize our rights in a slightly more subtle (and sane) way? Like maybe print t-shirts or something?

It is dumb and attention seeking but it does help raise awareness as to open carry laws and rights.
