Open carry person gets rifle stolen at gun point

[Frank RW]

I saw a guy the other day entering a store in LaPine wearing a white tee shirt and OCing a chest rig.

if you're going to open-carry, about the best way to do so IMO.

 

[Capn Jack]

Is that a right, or a left and does
he have the other one on?

 

[fredball]

Why open carry when it's sooo much better to conceal

I don't want anyone to know I'm packing

I already have four strikes against me

But that's just me Straight White Male Conservative

Well.....considering that it's still frowned upon to shoot someone in the back. Even if/when the perp just took some shots at you or, robbed you or, even stole a firearm from you.

Hummmm.....THAT, might need fixin'.

Anyway......thank the politicians and liberals.....that we as a Nation have allowed these sort of behaviors with little to no consequences.

Hardest one to steal.

In the follow up article, police shot a pregnant woman who was holding a handgun.
Does this make her unborn child an accessory to her crime?

If your just riding in a car when one robs a 711 you are, would seem appropriate wouldn't it.

 

[thorborg]

No, a hostage...

Not so fast, If their of a mind to leave, you can't stop them least according to my wife trying to wait for the midwife.

I suggest a new sign on the door of the market:

"Trespassers (Robbers) will be shot... survivors will be shot again!"

Perhaps the lesson here is to not open carry what your not willing to lose or have taken from you…

Personally prefer the concealed method, rather present a surprise than a victim target…

Stupid prizes.

I have the perfect trench coat for this rig...

Well...St. Louis. It can happen anywhere though. How you feel about open carry may shape your opinion on this story. My biggest take away is how the author bent over backwards as to not reveal the gender of the rifle owner or thief. It's revealed towards the bottom when the police were quoted describing the situation. Woke idiots.

Open-carrying shopper robbed of rifle, returns with backup gun and shootout ensues

Gunfire erupts outside a St. Louis-area grocery store after an open-carrier is reportedly robbed off his rifle.

Victim returned to the scene with other guns and a shootout ensued. I can imagine it now:

"Aw hell nah," (lots of shooting without aiming - mostly no hits of actual target, guns are canted sideways and held one handed)

If we're going down that road you should never wear a nice hat or watch.

Jorts and no belt?

Apprentice plumber??

And in some areas that's advisable…

 

[Jay Walk]

Haaa, saw a plumber today... Open carry.

Let's clear this up right now.
If long guns are going to be carried on foot, this is the absolute minimum.

I think there's a way to do it solo. The Israelis do it all the time and hardly ever have issues.

 

[cigars]

If you're going to OC a long gun, wouldn't you want to avoid close quarters? Also why was his backup gun not on his person?

Exactly. Why wouldn't still have your concealed while shoulder toting your rifle?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around " He was open carrying a rifle, in a sleeve, under his shirt" What does that look like? Did he have to take off the shirt to get the rifle into action? Or is this sleeve some kind of case?
Enquiring minds need to know! DR
