Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???

I have seen a lot of open carry around here, but never like this dude. His behavior was way out there and he kept touching the weapon, maybe to make sure it was there. He sure made a lot of people nervous. He appeared to have already been drinking or using something to create this behavior. I thought he was nervous because he was going to stick up the store for the beer. NM has some rules on the books about being under the influence and weapons. If you have a CCL and armed, or an open carry weapon in possession and under the influence, you just opened the door for a felony.
Within the past 2 years, two different package bombs were exploded at the entrance doors while people were in attendance. No one was harmed, and no one ever caught. The cameras showed the bomb being placed, but never a lead on who did it. I know people carry in our church, but we have deacons assigned locations, that carry for the safety of the church members.

When I lived in Alaska, I carried a 357mag a couple of years for protection, could not get a 44 mag anywhere. Well I finally did get a 44 mag and it did make me feel a little safer when out and about. A lot of guides carry a shotgun, not to kill, but to destroy the bears sense of smell.

He was probably a new gun carrier anyway. Someone that has been carrying is long past the touchy feely stage. At our monthly breakfast of 10 couples who all ride, a guy came in open carrying. We almost all wondered how many guns would come out if he pulled it from his holster. I'd bet at least 15 guns would come out as most of us all carry but you'd never know it. As far as the Judge goes, it's a fun gun to shoot. I considered carrying it and had a shoulder holster for cross draw made for mine. But I went back to the gun I've been carrying for years after carrying the Judge for a few months. Old reliable just felt right one morning when I put it on instead and been that way since. But the Judge is fun. Does not kick like you might think. I think my .410 shotgun kicks more.
The only reason some people are still alive is it's illegal to shoot them.

Again, a false equivalency. Cars are not DESIGNED to kill, guns are.
Guns have one purpose in design, to kill. No amount of posturing changes that simple fact.
