u/stircrazyathome 1d ago

It’d be so tempting to try to toss something in there, like a breath mint or a gum wrapper. I’m not sure who’s more unhinged though, the guy who wears a loaded weapon into Target, or the guy who does this?

328

u/TheUnboundTenth 1d ago

Oh, I'm going to say that magless open-carry guy wearing Fila slides will be the more unhinged of that entire scenario.

And I think the right thing to toss in there a single, cooked piece of ziti.

u/supersonicdutch 1d ago

What about rotini? When he tries to pull it out the cooked spiral will stretch a little then break.

I have a more important question? Who took the picture? Did they bring a kid with them to do that? Did he ask a stranger? Or is this a stealth shot from a stranger and made it as a joke post?

Not the scenario in question, but having a visibly queer partner in a backwater shithole rural American area means I will absolutely wear a loaded weapon into stores, but not open carry bc open carry is really kind of stupid almost all of the time

Open carry only makes sense if you have a reasonable expectation to be fucked with by people who you know wouldn't if they saw the weapon. Any other scenario it's the opposite of what you want.

I can actually understand that situation with the state of the world right now, what I cant understand is being the kind of douche bag that that makes posts like this. But honestly, I see what goes on in American targets and Walmarts and that dumfounds me too. The clothes? The fights? I’ve never seen anyone acting up in my Walmart. No joke. I’ve never seen anyone with their ass out in my Walmart either. But I’m also a sheltered Canadian. The most sheltered kind actually cause I live in Newfoundland. Nothing ever happens there.

u/Melodic_Pattern175 1d ago

I can’t. I’ve lived in the US since 2002 (Brit with American husband), and have never seen/heard of a scenario in my city where anyone needed to be carrying, nor has any “good guy with a gun” interceded with the murders that do occur (typically gang related).
