This meme made me laugh out loud

[Siwsan]

[Ocelot II]

1. Love it!

[Ray Bruns]

2. Is that fucking ridiculous or what?

[Siwsan]

5. And you know he thinks that makes him look like Rambo

[PatSeg]

17. Yeah, a whole of compensation

going on there!

[Shermann]

44. I don't see a compensator on there

[Delphinus]

6. Yes.

🤮

[Stinky The Clown]

3. That made me laugh out loud

[TheBlackAdder]

52. Idiot could be jumped in 5 seconds. And these folks also carry concealed just in case.

.

But everyone know it, just like the sidearms on armored truck guards.

They are bait weapons and have their real ones concealed.

.

[LakeArenal]

4. Why do they all look alike?

School yard bully oafs.

[Probatim]

7. I mocked a guy carrying a pistol at our local grocery store...

I said - I think I saw Al Qaeda at the deli.

He looked at me like WTF?

I followed with - Hillary's emails are in the frozen foods aisle! You have to save us.

At least I was amused.

[liberalla]

9. Excellent! I mean really REALLY good!

Thanks for that!

[barbtries]

10. i would not have had the guts to do that.

i have a theory that a significant number of these people carrying openly in places where no gun should be, are actually itching to use those guns. in reality it's hard for me to even imagine what would prompt the guy in the picture to do this.

[Probatim]

15. Full disclosure - I had about 10 years, 6 inches, and 50 pounds on the guy.

While I agree with your perception of why they carry guns, I was itching for a fight and thought laughing at him for his gun would scare him more.

[barbtries]

18. lol

i am glad you did. turn his face red, maybe he thinks twice about whether it's really so important to be strutting around with a loaded weapon.

[sarisataka]

43. You were trying to pick a fight?

Well that is... something

[Probatim]

63. Maybe not itching for fight, but trying to make a point at how ridiculous it was to open carry.

I live in a smallish borough that is pretty homogeneous (i.e., white middle class) and where crime is minimal - especially shootouts.

It would have been better for him to stay home and "clean his gun" than shop on a Sunday morning with it.

[niyad]

20. Much better than mine. Soon after open carry was allowed here, I encountered a

young man in the produce section, wearing shorts, t-shirt and flip flops, with a huge pistol on his hip. (for some reason, the combination of the flip flops and the big pistol just cracked me up.) I walked over to him, and in a very concerned voice asked, "Are you afraid that the tomatoes are going to attack you?"

He grunted at me and walked off. That was several years ago, pre-magat. I would not do that today.

[ShazzieB]

26. Hilarious!

My first thought was, oh, I guess he watched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes a few times too many!

[niyad]

34. Never saw that, but you are most likely correct.

[Probatim]

31. I saw another guy at the local Wal-Hell who I did not approach.

He looked like he was right out of central casting - 6'3", black cowboy hat, full black beard, shitkickers, mud on his blue jeans, black denim jacket, and the biggest revolver I've ever seen (and I've shot many, many handguns).

Later I thought of Johnny Dangerously and his 88 Magnum.

I kept my mouth shut.

[niyad]

35. I would not have said anything either. Certainly not these days!

[Permanut]

33. You can't fool these real patriots..

He knows that her emails are on Hunter's laptop.


They're not morans, you know. Oh, wait, yes they are.

[Paladin]

54. He's probably still trying to figure out your comments. (nt)

[kairos12]

59. LOL! DUZY!

[Butterflylady]

61. I can't stop laughing

[Mr.Bill]

66. How about just simply point and laugh. n/t

[plimsoll]

69. I miss the good old days when flashers wore trench coats.

It was so much more dignified.

[GoCubsGo]

8. That's just fucking pathetic.

What kind of a cowardly bully does one have to be to feel like they have to take a military-style weapon with them in order to feel safe in a goddamn Starbucks?

[SergeStorms]

55. Is that what that place is, a Starbucks?

I've never been inside one, so I wouldn't have known in 100 guesses. I refuse to pay $5 for a cup of coffee.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. As soon as I saw that, I'd be out the door and dialing 911. That's not a hunting rifle.

[Martin68]

14. Unfortunately, in some red states that is entirely legal.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. Doesn't matter. Let the cops and the red legislators sort it out.

[ShazzieB]

25. In states where that's legal, the cops would probably laugh at you.

I hate this kind of thing as much as you do, and I'm very happy to live where I don't have to see people walking around armed like this. But I'm afraid that reporting this to police in a stateide where it's fully legal (Texas comes to mind) would get one of the following responses:

1.The cops would laugh in your face.
OR
2. They'd get pissed off at you for what they would view as "wasting their time."

I don't think it would be worth it. Ymmv.

[Martin68]

29. Exactly. Calling 911 could get you brought up on charges of a frivolous call.

[brush]

12. What's he compensating for. So ridiculous.

[Higherarky]

56. Precisely.

🙄🥱

Here's their sign:

L

[Submariner]

13. Is that a coffee shop?

I guess it really doesn't matter, because whatever she's selling, you know the Lady behind the register got the order CORRECT, because we haven't heard of the mass shooting that would have occurred if that MAGArunt didn't get his order right.

[70sEraVet]

16. "Whitemanistan"! Ha!

I think the only thing I would do, would be to let management know that I am leaving without placing my order, because of that particular customer. Let companies see that 'open carry' customers hurts their bottom line.

[Prairie_Seagull]

21. I think maybe he was born in "whitemanistan" n/t

[Celerity]

68. Smalldickistan, the capital city

[kimbutgar]

22. Bet he has a small wee wee he hasn't seen in years

Nor could he run a full block without gasping for air.

[ffr]

23. Idiot brings loaded assault rifle into a public place, then doesn't properly guard it.

What's to prevent someone stabbing him in the neck, taking HIS WEAPON, a weapon that shouldn't be there in the first place, and killing everyone within sight?

Nothing, if someone wanted to do such a thing. How convenient for such a devious mind. They didn't even have to provide the weapon or the ammo.

[Solomon]

39. Beat me to it. A couple of guys can easily

take that thing away from him

[littlemissmartypants]

45. I was just thinking I probably could and I'm 5'5" and puny weak.

Grab the strap from behind, give it a quick pull to put him on the ground and then step over him. How's he going to fire a weapon with his 200 lb ass on top of it behind his back?

If he hadn’t killed me I'd claim that I lost my balance and was so lucky he was there to grab on to because I could've broken a hip.

Then I'd take his place in line while his partner may or may not help him up off the floor. I imagine she's either afraid of him or embarrassed.

❤️

[Mr.Bill]

65. I wouldn't do it, but what would be fun

is to walk up behind him and touch a toy gun to the back of his head and yell "Bang! Youre dead" then tell him to re-think the idiocy of what he is doing.

He might as well be wearing a target on his back.

[patphil]

24. The problem with this is that you can't be sure he won't just start shooting.

Is he a mass murder, pretending to be a typical law abiding, AR-15 toting, white supremacist jackass?
Or is he just looking for the right situation to set him off, so he can justify killing a whole bunch of people? Or is he just so effin' insecure that he needs to carry an assault rifle to feel safe?
Or does he enjoy making other people feel afraid?

The fact is we don't know; except for the last one...we can be sure it makes other people fear for their lives, and I'm sure he likes that.

[solara]

27. Whitemanistan is so perfect

All we see when a cowardly "cop" or a 'militia wannabe' wanders around posturing in Heavy Personnel Armor, or with scary military weapons & gear strapped to his hip or back, is his obvious lack of ‘girth & dearth’ which loudly shouts that his “BDE” is clearly Lacking

[packman]

28. You made me post my kept version of this

BTW - notice his "Ahem" hand position. Wonder what he's holding or feeling as he waits, gun strapped to his back.

[Larissa]

30. Failure to launch

It's a proxy for the impotent male tube stick. If this doesn't get the ladies hot, nothing will: "Are you happy to see me, or is that an assault rifle hanging off your bacon back?"

[Farmer-Rick]

32. I was at the tire store waiting for them to put on my new tires

When in walks a guy with a large hand gun on his hip, and a t-shirt explaining how he is the baddest dude around. I decided to wait outside where there was a boulder sized planter between he and I.

Always check for exists and good places to take cover.

[Wild blueberry]

36. His T-shirt: Why yes, my penis is tiny

Why do you ask?

[KS Toronado]

37. Appears he's got a 50/60? round clip in it.

[sarisataka]

42. It is a standard magazine

So 30 rounds max

[NQAS]

38. Now picture this buffoon

Responding to a shooter in this shop.

[Prairie_Seagull]

40. If everyone got up and left when they see this idot or idiots like him

walk into a business, strapped. I guarantee businesses would rebel. We the people need to take some power back.

When we see this shit. Just walk out and maybe don't shop or drink there.

We have all been wondering what steps we could take to directly help. Take these steps (literally and figuratively)

After which call the manager and let them know what you did and why.

[Siwsan]

46. I have a set plan should I ever see someone like this in the store.

Yes - I'd just abandon my cart. If I'm in a grocery store and there's frozen or perishables in the cart, I'd let management know where the cart is, and tell them exactly why I've abandoned it.

[Prairie_Seagull]

57. You da,,,,,anti idiot person. haha

[40RatRod]

41. Saw a middle age lady with a pistol strapped to her waste strutting through W-Mart...

...She spoke to every person she passed so they would have to look at her.

[Higherarky]

62. Her waste?

Haha, I see what you did there.
👍

[Fla Dem]

47. Big Gun. Small Dick.

[republianmushroom]

48. LIKE

[onetexan]

49. 😅

[usedtobedemgurl]

50. And then they wonder why no woman wants to be with them. NT

[3catwoman3]

60. Just based on how he's dressed I would not...

…want to date him - standard American slob attire.

[usedtobedemgurl]

64. Exactly!!!

Who wants to go out with a slob??? Not me!

[Bird Lady]

51. He must be over compensating for something.

Just like the big truck guys. The bigger your toys, the smaller your equipment.

[CaptainTruth]

53. I can't think of a good reason why anyone needs to do that.

Even if the guy is on the way to a shooting range the gun should be in a locked case, unloaded, in his vehicle.

[kairos12]

58. Give me scones, or give me death.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

67. From an practical point of view, I don't know that he could bring it around to fire.

It’s upside down. Were he left handed, he would pull it around by the barrel and the trigger and magazine would be on top. If he’s right handed, he’d strangle himself trying to bring it to bear. And it would still be upside down.

This guy is a moron. He doesn’t even rise to the level of poseur. He’s a totally incompetent know-nothing. If that thing is loaded, he’s a considerable danger to himself and everyone within range.

Calling the police to have a menace removed would be a public service of the highest order.

As the old saying goes, “No one is ever a complete failure. They can always serve as a bad example.”

[Marcuse]

70. The safety is probably off

[plimsoll]

71. Perhaps someone can explain to me why these two things aren't the same.

On the other hand I guess we have to accept the guy in the meme as wearing his folk dress. I think it needs a special name, I nominate : coprophagy.
