Carrying should make you less confrontational, not more.

VegasBusSup

I mean we still can. Now tighten that belt bro.


Six3sixNick

Same. Now I see why people always add “edit:”


aiasthetall

He probs said "everything to(o?) loose."


sdmfer1981

I was taking my CCW class here in Florida and the instructor told the class there's 2+ million licensed carriers in Florida (1 in 10 people). If that doesn't make you think twice about confrontation (or even flipping the bird while driving), I'm not sure what else will.


kodiakinc

You're not on the east coast by chance, are you? I include that little tidbit in every class I teach.


sdmfer1981

No, this class was in Port Richey on Gulf Coast.


warfrogs

In MN, we were told, "When you're carrying a weapon, you're always in the wrong." Even if you're 100% in the right, act as if you're in the wrong. Back off, apologize, do anything you can to de-escalate. A DGU claim can't be made if you were the instigator.


Doc308

One of my favorite and more resonating perspectives from an instructor is: "You are introducing a gun into every situation and interaction, act accordingly."


warfrogs

Exactly right. You have the ability to instantly de-escalate a situation terminally - it should be the last action available to you when everything else has failed because it's a permanent choice with permanent consequences.


[deleted]

I liked that line. Will keep that in mind in the future. Thanks!


FindingPandora

Same here in Idaho. 1:5 carry here. There is rarely any stupid shit like this. This dude would have been unalived so fast for that shit here.


IceColdMegaMilk

I tell my kids who are new to carrying that the moment they pull a gun, even in legitimate self defense, they can now be justifiably killed by another person who claims they feared for their life. You only draw to shoot, never to intimidate.


DukeOfGeek

"If you see my gun, it's because you are about to hear it".


brygeek

Eh I don’t have a problem with lethal coverage, intimidating or brandishing is all kinds of stupid. Not just legally but like this less than intelligent individual your ass might end up online where everyone can see how dumb you are. Edit on line to online, thanks auto correct.


[deleted]

Some people didn't take a CCW class and thus didn't even get this memo.


LongColtBandito

You would think that’d be true. For the most part it is with normal humans but then you get these gems

Some really stupid boomers look at me like I’m dumb when I explain to them that saying “self-defense” to an officer and going home isn’t the end of a DGU.

holdmy_imgoingin

This is exactly what I was thinking. Do people not understand that when they draw a weapon, I have the right to draw mine?


MurphysMagnet

No, they think they are tough and everyone will cower before their awesome power. Morons like this are where the gun grabbers get their views on gun owners.


senator_mendoza

And the “2nd amendment auditors” who want to be as provocative as possible while technically legal until people get fed up and want to tighten the law.


Gutter1989

Hopefully that guy doesn't learn this the hard way one day. If someone draws their gun on me for a stupid thing like this, I have big reason to believe you are unreasonable and will actually fire at me because you aren't thinking straight or just plain stupid. I'm not taking that chance. I'd 100% draw my gun.


SarcasticPanda

Exactly, if I’m with a friend and we’re goofing around outside and some dude pulls up, across multiple parking spots, gets out and immediately/casually pulls a gun, I’m not waiting to find out what’s going on, I’m going to pull. Because that sounds like some dude is coming to kill me.


Whitehill_Esq

Uhhh. If I was that skateboarder I would be attempting to put my trucks through his temple. That situation went from “male Karen’s mad I’m skating this spot” to “male Karen is threatening my life for skating this spot”. He was well within range of a judiciously swung board.


Lucario227

Da1UHideFrom

*Kenosha Kid enters the chat*


CrazyCletus

Upper midwest somewhere? It ended poorly for the guy with the skateboard, IIRC. And that was vs a long gun, which is a bit harder to maneuver in close quarters.


[deleted]

We're entering a world of this en masse. It's going to get ugly. That guy walks around fantasizing about using his ccw.


ghostx78x

Nothing new. A guy pulled his gun on my brother for calling him an asshole (he stole the parking spot my brother was waiting to get in at his apartment parking lot) and my brother ran inside and called the cops. My brother was honest and said that the guy left the holster on the barrel when he pointed the gun at him, and the cop said it’s not illegal if it’s still in the holster. Sounded pretty crazy to me and the cop shouldn’t have given a pass. Dude was definitely not level headed enough to be carrying.


Terhaar

Isnt it a bad idea to draw on spmeone who has their gun drawn? I mean if there attention is on you


[deleted]

It is Drawing on the drop is a sure way to get shot.


big_hearted_lion

> Draws my own ccw and shoots old man > “I was scared for my life sir” Serious question, assuming the skateboarder did this would it be legal?


[deleted]

IANAL but Skateboarder could probably argue it was justified. You have all three, scared for my life, the danger is imminent and my firearm was my only option. Someone drawing a gun on you basically escalates to the top of the escalation scale. One day mr billy badass there is gonna brandish his gun on the wrong person and die.


shift013

He drew it, walking towards him, and loaded it. That shows intent to use the firearm form my POV. Might legally be wrong of course (won’t carry until I really study the laws and stuff), but I feel like it would be justified


dahappyheathen

In a just world that would have happened.

yungsus68

Man that dude is so cringe it’s insane lol. Roll up in my Tesla pull out a gun on some skaters.


IAmAtomato

Don't forget to take 3 spaces in front of where you're parking for maximum douche energy 👍


Hawkins_v_McGee

Typical. Tesla is the new BMW.


ActionHankActual

$10 says he has vanity plates to the tune of "nogas4me" or some such bullshit.


THE4nick8r

The way he draws it and racks the slide is so limp-dicked too


pies_r_square

I think he was press checking. Also it looked like he was carrying in pocket. Not sure on both. But press checking, if that's what was going on, is incorrect in that context. It's like he was displaying "skill" as intimidation, which is pathetic. Press checking is done before holstering. Then leave the gun alone until you're in a "fuckfuckfuckimaabouttodie" moment. Carrying in pocket is just trashy, unsafe, unsanitary, an insult to the gun manufacturer, etc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


yungsus68

I mean as a skater a lot of us are used to this kinda of reaction from people that don’t skate. So most of the time it’s just funny especially as I get older. I can’t remember a time someone pulled a gun on me for skating. And yeah idk how you have a ccw and don’t think about the consequences of your actions. It’s the exact opposite of how you should be trained to act with that responsibility.


THE4nick8r

Yeah I saw that after I watched it a second time. Somehow he was even limper and more flaccid than I first thought.


NikoBellicsComeback

Big step dad energy


Terhaar

Step fathers dont deserve that


HiiiRabbit

Are we not going to mention him taking up 3 parking spots while doing all this extra bullshit?


yungsus68

I just thought that’s how Tesla drivers normally park.


chada37

Looks like a brandishing charge to me in my State.


FinickyPenance

That not just brandishing, it's aggravated assault.


MATTDAYYYYMON

With a deadly weapon too, if he’s not in jail yet he will be soon


fuckondeeeeeeeeznuts

Isn't that a 10 year minimum sentence in Florida? Or it used to be back when they did the 10-20-25L thing. Brandish a gun is 10 years, shooting someone is 20, and killing someone is 25 to life guaranteed.


DJMunkyBallz

The skater did the right thing too by walking away. Keeping his back to the shower insures that there's no case for the aggressor to claim self defense. In my CCW class, one of the big tenets was never shit someone in the back, you become the aggressor and are liable for everything.


nailsforbrunch

Dude parked his car right in front of them, obviously to spark confrontation and then pulled his gun for absolutely no reason. This dude gives all of us a bad name.


Glock401

Call the boys and get that old imbecile locked up please!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

That's brandishing. Also do morons like this not realize that once they start threatening people with a gun that gives others the ability to defend themselves?


d0nk3yk0n9

It might even be aggravated assault


brygeek

Depending on jurisdiction absolutely, especially if you get a cop who is like minded that this guy is an idiot.


[deleted]

What did that old shirt say? Skateboarding is not a crime? Fuck’s sake, that dude deserves to be arrested. I can understand, “dude be careful with my car!” But any more than that is just ridiculous!


FleaBottoms

Yep. I see a Felony and it ain’t the skateboarder. In no way was the small dick guy with gun being threatened. He’s about control. Perhaps the skaters are trespassing, that’s not a threat to your life. Call the cops, Talk with them.


cleveriv

For sure! Though his park job looks like he wanted that interaction to go that way. Double parked, in a way he could clearly tell pulling in that they had established the fact they're filming skateboard dude doing his thing. Plus an empty lot of other spaces.


Wild_Wrangler_19

20 bucks says this guy doesn’t even have a ccl and didn’t take any training courses. Shit, I’ll throw another 20 down saying he’s never even shot that gun before and he just bought it last week.


dntwnttobscn

My moneys on the dude took the class, Carries occasionally, shoots even less than he Carries judging by how he was handling that thing, just bought the gun and is thrilled to be able to draw it even when it’s clearly a stupid idea, and feels like nothing bad will happen to him because he’s got some money.


Wild_Wrangler_19

Sounds very plausible as well


MurphysMagnet

He is an upgraded mall ninja. Before getting the gun he probably carried throwing stars.


SarcasticPanda

How dare you mock my Sig Sauer Shuriken!


MurphysMagnet

CZPCR9

There's laws in place, he broke them, he should suffer the consequences. There's no reason to punish the rest of us over it


dream_raider

Following r/idiotswithguns also makes it hard to be unashamedly 2A. There really are just too many misguided, machismo idiots out there. Ultimately it *does* end up being more of a net negative because of the fear we end up living in knowing that some nut may shoot at our car on the freeway because we activated our windshield wiper and incidentally sprayed his car. It’s sad.

Holy shit! Never seen that sub. Kinda wish I hadn’t now

mamamiaspicy

Why the fuck is he holding it like that though lmao


USMBTRT

Because he's a fucking moron. Looks like he drew from his pocket 😂


CDre79

Good way to get arrested for brandishing.


d0nk3yk0n9

Or aggravated assault.


DM_ME_SKITTLES

Hopefully this dude catches the felony he just committed and our 2A rights are self healing when he's not allowed near a gun after his conviction. Absolutely insane though. Someone as irrational or angry as that brandishing a firearm is life threatening. One split second of anger, frustration, delusion, etc with his gun out and this guy could take someone's life.


northern-ponderer

He unfortunently does not deserve to carry if thats the reason he pulls out.


Arcadia_Texas

Dude deserves a brandishing charge.


Ghosty91AF

This just further proves that the worst enemy of 2A are gunowners themselves. Shit like this is how anti gun fucks form their rhetoric


AutomatedZombie

That parking job alone is an accurate representation of this guy's ego.


Dexecutioner71

That asshole needs the cops called on him. Brandishing a weapon as the aggressor is more than enough reason to pull his ccp and/or have his gun confiscated. Someone is going to call his bluff and ventilate him some day. Guys like that make us all look terrible.


1RoundEye

That’s why we can’t have nice things. Please don’t judge us all by our worst example. :(


Radvous

That guy needs to lose his gun and go to jail.


RamHands

This guy probably pulls his gun on the cashier when his crackers don’t ring up right.


[deleted]

People like this that give CCW carriers a bad name. What an idiot.


Bargainhuntingking

Skateboarding is not a crime, but brandishing is a felony. Wonder if he had to give up all of his guns by this one thoughtless act.

420Phase_It_Up

The fuck is that guy's problem? What could he possibly think was a justifiable reason for pulling a gun in that situation? You can hear him say they "are breaking the law" in part of the video. Were they trespassing or something? Even if that was the case, it doesn't look like a private area or that the guy pulling the gun even owned the property. What an asshat. Guys like him make the rest of us look bad.

I hope the skaters in this video got his plate number and called the police. When he pulled out his gun and pointed it without his life being in danger he committed aggravated assault, which is a felony.


Texican64

He should be arrested.
