I'm simply trying to point out that we, as pro-2A citizens, cannot and should not try to say certain types of people can or cannot keep and bear arms.

I guess I missed the post but I didn't see anyone say he couldn't keep and bear arms. In Kalifornia, a guy as described is almost certain to be a gangbanger because almost no one has a carry permit.

As far as the tats go, it is a matter of what kind of tats they are. Matched with the dress and the apparent carrying, I would be highly distrustful. Of course he just may have been one of the local DEA agents.

Nada! Having lived all over this great country of ours, I can, without a doubt, say southern girls are by far the best our Nation has to offer!

Okay, Jim. I guess you did miss the original post. Gangbangers don't tend to go to gun shops to buy guns.

Maybe we should both take your signature line to heart. I have a feeling we are very much alike, but clearly we are not hearing each other.

I must be having a comprehension problem. I reread the first post and didn't see anything about forbidding the guy from keeping and bearing arms except in a store that posted no loaded guns sign. I guess the case could be made that the guy was carrying an unloaded gun concealed but printing but as someone said, those of us here don't consider that as a reasonable conclusion.

That's a good one! Trying to conceal!!!

That clown was no more trying to conceal than he was trying NOT to dress like a gangsta! He wanted everyone to know he had a piece. It gives him "street cred".

Still, good job being one of the only ones in a gun shop to pick out the idiot. But, to be fair, in this case, it was a bit like picking out an elephant in a herd of sheep.

Again with the "you're on the outs" language. It's a clever tactic, but silly. You didn't read all the posts on here saying "yay! keep the obvious gangbanger out of the store?"

My first post on here was in agreement with someone highlighting the obvious hypocrisy of pro-2A citizens roundly stating someone shouldn't be carrying at all based on their appearance. Perhaps me and that poster misread, but I don't think that's the case.

Oh dear! I am sorry I got crosswise with you but you now seem to want to look for a way to be insulted. I was using the language that someone else used, I think it was in this thread though I could be mistaken as I am reading multiple threads on 5 different gun forums at the present time. I do not try to slip insults into my posts. If I am going to insult (and I usually try not to), it will be very clearly an insult.

I didn't see anything in the original post about keeping someone out of a gun store based on their appearance. I saw a gun shop owner that may have discouraged someone from entering , carrying. I didn't jump to the conclusion that he was trying to discriminate based on appearance.

My comment was if I saw what appeared to be a gang banger who appeared to be carrying, my radar would be up and I would be watching.
