You Americans are crazy, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you need to or should

A Georgia man openly carried a fully loaded AR-15 semiautomatic rifle into Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the busiest in the world.
Jim Cooley was armed with the weapon -- complete with an extended capacity 100-round drum -- when he went to drop his daughter off for a flight last Friday. Following the enactment of new state legislation in 2014, it's actually legal to carry a rifle in the open in the airport, so long as the holder doesn't attempt to pass through airport security.

Not an open carry fan, but good for him.

[wnc817]

Was he Muslim? If not, the chance of him trying to hijack a plane is about zero. Airport security should racially/culturally profile instead of molesting everyone that goes through.

[MVHagey]

The only people upset are the ones who have irrational fears of metal objects. Obviously it wasn't prudent on his part but it's 100% legal. We shouldn't have to hide our rights under our shirts to appease disgusting liberals

[SquatsAndPizza]

And? He's well within his rights to do so. Hopefully this kind of behavior becomes more common so people get used to firearms, and liberals/SJWs/homosexuals/trannies/feminists, etc. STFU.

[myfacewhen]

I'm far from anti-gun liberal......



But explain to me what the point is of carrying an AR around instead of a pistol on the hip? To rustle jimmies? To prove a "point" and exercise your rights?You're just ASKING for trouble and reactions. This isn't the fukin Wild Wild West. People are gonna react to seeing an assault rifle. Mind = blown @ the ppl that expect everyone to shrug off a dude with a military style weapon strapped to their backs

lol, if he had a rag on his head that whole damn airport would have been shutdown and all flights grounded.

So?

[BlueMoon92]

just because you have the right, doesn't mean it's right

[Ayudha]

You have quite a few people afraid because calls are coming in left and right," an officer tells Cooley in one of the videos. "People's fears are not my responsibility," he replies. ..


Dick..

Good idea, don't call it a semi automatic rifle, trivialise it down to a metal object and if your scared its irrational

What's the end game with this sort of thing?

What if that guy was a nut job and started shooting people?

Is everyone supposed to carry an AR15 around in case they need to defend themselves against some nut job with an AR15?

An AR15 is a big gun. Sounds like a pain on the ass to carry around.

What if? So what? This isn't Minority Report. People are not prosecuted before committing a crime because they might commit a crime.

That's irrelevant, he could kill 15 people but its his right to bare arms that is most important.

Well since the area isn't a gun free zone, statistically there wouldn't be a mass shooting there

[DIL22]

As a conservative I view stupid chit like this as actually hurting the argument for open carry. There are plenty of legitimate times and places for it, but this is not one of them. He was there to cause a scene plain and simple.

[TrancE_AddicT]

Whats the fukin point and wow 100nd round drum. Typical white trash looking for attention.

[FreeRadicals]

No directed towards you but,

Realize that muslims don't generally wear turbans, it's sikh's who are generally the antithesis of muslims.

Just so some of you know.

[FreeRadicals]

Guy has the right to OC, but sounds like he has no manners or any sense.

[ord11b]

lol at anyone who tries to defend this. so incredibly stupid.

[Mavex]

This does nothing to make people feel comfortable around guns. Most Americans probably view guns as something of an abstract concept, and walking around with an AR is only going to cause more Americans to become vehemently anti-gun.

[BrawnySwoleman]

The guys who do this sht are some of the biggest jackasses around.

[phuknphen]

I understand that open carry is legal in certain states in the US, but **** me dead. Your carrying a semi-automatic rifle in an airport, Id be concerned if the cops didn't ask a simple questions of what hes doing and make sure his mental state of mind is ok..... No need to be a dip **** about it, its legal yes but still......

What makes it a military style weapon?

and just because we do something that we're allowed to, doesn't mean you need to get butthurt over it

just lol @ a society that celebrates the morally corrupt, dismantles traditions for the sake of progressiveness, and scrutinizes those who exercise their civil liberties. living a life in fear of offending someone.

[rhadam]

Really don't see the point of doing that outside of causing an issue and looking like a *******.

I grew up with guns, my dad had a .22 in his back window for years until LE told him to take it down. No one in my family would ever think of open carrying in a Chipotle or mall or airport.
