Playing devils advocate here. Like Texas, Missouri is a constitutional carry state. You can openly carry a long gun or handgun in public as long as long as your not menacing anyone with it. Would also bet there is no law against wearing body armor. If he didn't threaten anyone what law did he break?
Being a dumbass in public isn't a law but it should be for this idiot. My bet is once the political climate cools off, like it always does, his lawyer gets him off or he pleads to some low grade misdemeanor gets a fine and picks up trash along the side of the road for a few weekends never to be heard from again. The Missouri legislator try's to pass or does pass some meaningless firearm law then pats each other on the back with shouts of a job well done.
Due to the world wide press coverage this guy received he just put another nail in the coffin, albeit a small one, for the anti 2A's to use. What he really needs is to be taken behind the courthouse and given a stern lecture about rights. Not the firearm kind of rights but the arm/fist kind.
I understand and agree with you Alte.
Doing what he did, in light of the just recent mass shootings and killings, was very poor timing, in poor taste and didn't prove a danged thing about gun rights, or the 2nd Amendment. He simply made a fool of himself and just possibly, and I hope his gun rights taken away. Stupid should have legal consequences IMO.
Yes, it may be legal, but at some point a person must also use some common sense. Another thing many people tend to overlook in regards to our rights, is that they are not only a right, but also a responsibility that goes along with our rights. A person IMO needs to exercise their brain as well as when they exercise their rights.
I would even support sterilization of this moron so he couldn't breed!
