Tackled a man with a gun?

Was he committing a crime? The headline sure doesn’t clear that up

Yep, an idiot. I don’t guess it ever occured to him that the guy might be a plain clothes cop.

Really?

So if I get hurt, because someone was well intentioned, no big deal?

What if I had a violent allergic reaction to be tackled, as I have had before?

Is it my bad because a do gooder was being belpful?

An idiot of the same ilk of this one is what got the guy killed as COSCO in Las Vegas a while back. Throw the book at him. He is too stupid to be out in the public.

Being from Oklahoma I regularly saw people tossing guns everwhere and showing them in the parking lot.

Never thought a thing about it. Cept maybe envy...

placed him in chokehold and took him down against his will and without permission

Wow - against his will AND without permission. I guess it wasn't foreplay, then....

Well played!

LOL

I don’t get it.

I lived at 14th and Galveston and regularly shared gun porn with other guys up and down the street.

When I lived over at 71st and Lewis me and a roommate walked over to Southern Hills to shoot skeet with a friend whose dad was a member and was having some party.

Imagine, we walked a mile with shotguns and ammo.

Would’ve walked back too but, was given a ride.

Yeah. It happened a few years back. From what I read on here, the guy was supposed to be a graduate of West Point. I think that he was from back east. He and his girlfriend were camping or hiking in the area and went to the Las Vagas COSCO to do some shopping. Someone in COSCO saw that he had a pistol and called 911. The police came and shot him. They claimed they felt threatened and they got away with it. Turned out he had a permit. I am going from memory. But there were several threads on the incident posted on this forum.

And good intentions.

Out here in America, lots of people carry concealed weapons legally. I carry a concealed weapon legally. Don't try tackling me.

I realize that things are different in the Glorious Peoples' Democratic Soviet Socialist Republic of Maryland ...

I expect that a lot of stuff sold at Costco arrives in America by way of COSCO ...

I'm confused. What is a John Crawford and who would want to pick him up? And does the label mean that John Crawfords can be picked up by ghosts with no problem?

He may have violated the letter, but not the spirit of the law.

Come on, you don't believe that either.

The spirit of the law is that a person carrying concealed should be allowed to go about his business unmolested.

Foster violated both the letter AND the spirit of the law.
