Funny the guy in the Air Force he would not be allowed to carry that weapon on base in such a manner.

The one fellow mentions that criminals according to the FBI fear an armed citizen more than the police I'm not so sure how accurate that is but if they do fear an armed citizen they are more likely to commit a crime using extreme violence of action to counter the threat kind of like special forces theirs foes are packing heat and expect them in most cases so they use violence of action to gain the upper hand.

In my opinion an unseen weapon is always an advantage and the wise person would not rely on just a firearm hell at very close range using a firearm as a blunt force weapon is a much better option rather than its bullets.When I sit in some place I think of all the possible weapons around me take a magazine roll that thing up and jam it into an attackers mouth or eyes once when I a teenager several guys from school that did not like my brother and I showed up at our house out numbering us so my brother threw the paper back Star Trek book he was reading at one guys face and broke his nose that was the most awesome display of blunt force I have ever seen he bleed pretty baldy maybe it broke his sinus as well he was the roughest of the crew so the rest lost heart.

The other problem with open carry is that every smug cop in the world is going to ask you about it.Another concern about open carry is weapon control is the person carrying alert enough to prevent someone from disarming him? And if so is his trained in hand to hand combat in able to gain control in a fight for control of the weapon?

I bet Joe Woods Arteries where in sheer terror with every bite of that burger hell most of the guys in that video need to open carry in a gym if you catch my drift.

I wonder how the federal law that bans firearms on schools applies in OK? Right now school property including parking lots and vehicles are banned.


DOD wise you are not allowed to carry a loaded fire arm on base unless you are actively carrying it as part of your duties and those living in barracks/dorms are not allowed to have firearms stored in the rooms or vehicles they are kept in an assigned base armory base housing they must provide a list of all firearms and the amount or ammunition owned this is stateside and in non combat locations,Germany,Japan.

For the military I think that it is reasonable based on a personal experience involving an off duty RAF MP that was allowed to carry his side arm.He deiced that he did not like the fact that a group of airman(US and RAF) was having a get together that was making a little noise but not outside the amount that Mr.RAF MP and his pals made.Anyway he came over with his uniform and his sidearm in its holster and a RAF member that was socializing asked if he was on duty and the MP said, "no" and his fellow airman said that he should not be carrying the sidearm then.

Anyway Mr.RAF MP started saying that he wanted us to shut up and was obviously using the sidearm in the holster as intimidation.Well a Texan did not take too kindly to this and said that he would shove that gun up Mr. RAF MPs rear sideways if he did not ask nicely for us to quite down and leave well this lead to some pretty heated words and Mr.RAF MP did leave but it was a slight bit harry to say the least anyway the RAF transferred the hot head to another base but that was all that happened to him.
