With that said, has it been said that a full investigation wouldn't be done? If not, then no reason to stick your nose in it, yet.


The feds are going to investigate and the locals are shut out just like the other murder. The killers have nothing to worry about.

I am solely addressing the "legal gun owner" "legally carrying" narrative.

So the answer to my question is "no, there is no relevance at all to the situation re: him not having his DL on him despite the amount of times I keep bringing it up.

I agree

Retard alert.

That answer was for what laws he broke. Not why they shot him.

If you put your hands in the tsa agent do you think it would have turned out the same?

Don't go to an pro illegal immigrant rally armed and get tangled up with the feds.

You can but that doesn't mean you should. Just like idiots walking into a donut shop with an AR-15. Too many fricking idiots don't understand this.

Stop doing so. Better uses of your money are out there.

it is in fact the opposite. It is, quite literally, risking your life and limb.

If no one is above the law, don't show up armed pretending to be.

The lack of training is on the part of the anti-ice activist.

If you are standing there, and your shirt comes up and shows that you have a concealed weapon in the presence of law-enforcement, you better be making it quite clear that you are not trying to be a threat because you have already fricked up by not notifying them that you have a loaded weapon concealed on your person and at that point, your life is in danger.

You should not be in that situation. If you had training, you would know not to get involved in something like that so if your training was any good, you would not even be there.

And if by happenstance you found yourself in that situation, you should be walking the other way quickly if you don’t have a chance to let law-enforcement know that you are armed.

If you go interfering with their operations while armed, you can assume you’ll be shot.

Anyone who doesn’t understand that is a dunce of the highest order and is apt to have a short life

lift shirt to nipples... turn in slow 360. Repeat over and over "I am complying" like your life depends on it. Do not take a big step in any direction.

Had to do it several times before.

ETA: just last month in fact. Meant to do deposits at bank through drive through, decided to go in and forgot about .45 concealed. Cop parked outside saw it before I even got to front of truck.

Right before he was shot, he was in an upright crouch position with his right hand folded back behind himself at the waist band level.

This was moments after agents had shouted that he was armed.

This 100%.

Concealing a firearm, agitating police, getting physical with police, then resisting arrest is a speed run attempt at the Darwin award.

I dont think he broke the record, but it was a good attempt.

Of course, none of this is relevant in the heat of the moment. Afterwards, we have the benefit of slow motion, framed by frame and people look at it like the participants are supposed to be able to think that fast. They’re operating on training. A combatant with a loaded weapon concealed and not declared is a deadly threat that needs to be neutralized. These officers have no obligation to risk their lives, trying to protect someone who is a deadly threat to them.

No truth will come out of the investigation. 99% already have their mind made up either way.

Just to clarify, you are constrained to the requirements of whichever state you are currently in.

Many states have reciprocal agreements in regards concealed carry permits. You are responsible to know the laws of the state you are carrying in.
