Let's just say I go to a CCW state

[Taverner]

And buy a 9mm Glock - and walk everywhere, just waving it around

Would that be legal?

Just wondering...

1. yea I think so

but only if you're hopped up on caffeine

[Taverner]

3. OT - I love your HST quote!

[Iggo]

2. I hate Counter Clockwise states.

:P

[old mark]

4. Many states that have CCW - which is most of them now- won't sell a gun to

anyone from out of state. Waving a gun around is not a good idea and probably not legal in many areas.

I usually try to hide the ones I carry.

6. But isn't it my constitutional RIGHT to wave a gun around?

I mean, if they stop us from waving a gun around, the next step is the Gulag Archipeligo...

[old mark]

9. ...or Arizona...No, but I respect your first amendment right to

talk about waving around anything you want to...

5. I think you need a special sticker for the waving part.

It seems too much like brandishing.

Most people get nervous around brandishers.

7. CONCEALED Carry.

Waving it around is an excellent way to become a statistic though.

[Taverner]

8. Hey - not saying I was going to do it

But if CCW is allowed, then open carry should be allowed too, right?

And waving it around is the most open form of carry...

[petronius]

11. I don't think that's actually the case, that open carry naturally follows from concealed

And "waving" isn't just a special form of "carrying" - sort of like driving drunk isn't merely a logical extension of driving (stupid analogy, I know)...

10. If I really want to wave something around, I bring a shotgun...

Glocks are so.....small...

But you don't need to go to a "CCW" state - just buy yer gun ONLINE and have em send it to your local dealer. Here's a fair selection with a price for every pocketbook:

12. open carry isn't the same thing as waving it around

and like someone mentioned open carry may or may not follow (or coincide) with concealed carry.

[pokerfan]

19. I think it's pretty much the opposite

[burrfoot]

13. IBTM ;) n/t

[burrfoot]

14. Forgive me if I'm naive, but I can't tell if

you're being serious or an @$$hat. You don't really think that you can walk around waving a gun, right, even in open carry states?
I assume you're trying to push the buttons of gun owners?

:shrug:

15. Why would you risk your FFL on a charge of menacing?

Must be nice to have enough money to piss away a FFL, assuming you had one to legally purchase a pistol in another state.

16. The right to keep & bear arms shall not be infringed - but it should be regulated.

If you oppose the regulation of firearms, then you oppose the 2nd Amendment.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

17. If you own the gun legally, you can wave it around as long as you're not waving

it around AT someone - or NEAR someone. Then have a good chance of being a dead CCW holder.

[Xithras]

18. Nope. It's called "Brandishing".

Doing that can land you a few months in jail, not to mention permanent revocation of your CCW rights.

It's no different than a shovel. You can buy a shovel, and you can walk down the road carrying a shovel. Start waving that shovel around everywhere and you're going to jail, because that will be perceived as an imminent threat to public safety.

Rule #1 for firearm owners: Don't pull it out unless you have reason to use it immediately.
Rule #2 for firearm owners: Don't pull it out unless you are willing to use it.

Rule #1 for police officers: If you see someone with a firearm out, assume that they have both the reason and will to use it immediately.

If your reason isn't legitimate, you're going to end up in a whole heap of hurt. Assuming you end up anywhere other than a pine box.

20. Only if you have an open container of beer.

22. Ha ha....

Thanks for the fine example of anti-gunners high-lighting the inability to recognize the difference between "responsible" and "irresponsible". Posts like yours are a gift. Thanks.

23. Nope

Hence the name Concealed Carry state. Once you open carry, you can be arrested..

25. From a post up above...

...no WONDER people think gun enthusiasts equate their gun with their penis!!!
