i guess on a sidenote.. "only in america"...... in other parts of the world, children tout ak47's
That's the thing though, Cali doesn't allow people to carry concealed. Why wouldn't you want to open carry in front of your kids? Don't wish to set them a good example? If you haven't noticed, that is how kids learn, by example and by watching their parents. Teaching kids they should be afraid of a machine because it could do them harm if improperly used teaches them nothing.

1. Many of you said leave it in the car. That bothers me more than him carrying it holstered as he is doing. Responsible gun owners DO NOT leave firearms unattended in vehicles, locked or not, unless required to do so by law. Most criminals obtain firearms illegally by theft or purchasing from a thief.
2. This took place in CA, correct? In CA it is legal to carry an unloaded firearm as long as it is exposed in a belt holster, just as this man is doing. I have no way of knowing from the pic if the weapon is loaded or not. Unless he has a CCW or is a full time sworn peace officer under CPC section 832.2 it would be a crime to conceal it. The ability to obtain a CCW in CA varies greatly depending on where in the state you live. State law says that the Sheriff in the county in which you reside MAY issue a permit if you show "good cause" and meet other critiria (No felony convictions, ecieved training etc.) The definition of "good cause" is left to the determination of the Sheriff. In some counties an applicant simply states "self protection" and he/she gets a permit. Other counties take your application and fees and ruber stamp it with a "Denied".
3. A firearm is an insurance policy. You buy it, carry it and hope you never have to use it. Much like your motorcycle helmet. I can think of nothing more valuable to protect than my children. You say if he is to scared to go to the park without his gun.... Well are you to scared to ride your Fazer to the corner store without your helmet? THINK ATGATT.
The way I see it he is doing nothing more than safeguarding his family.
Not sure what the intention/direction is with that sort of statement. It sucks that children is some countries tout AK47's. Does it fix any problems in America? Does it make people feel like they should count their lucky stars that it isn't like that here? Should we ponder why the human race is so screwed up? Dunno.:don'tknow:
DOESN'T look like a cop to me.
His gun was like stuck between his belt and his waist instead of in a case.
This is not normal to me.
I'm not a fan of firearms. As it always brings back horrible memories for me what happened to a special person that I loved very much and had planned to spend the rest of my life with.
Victim of a very violent crime, a robbery and kidnap, and possible rape. Worst crime that the homicide detective had ever witnessed in the 20 years of law enforcement.
Shot 5 times in the chest with a .38, stuffed in the back of the trunk of her own car which I drove all the time, and then set it on fire.
She survived for five days, died at the ICU Burn unit at USC Medical Center. Absolutely the worst time of my life, just a few days before Christmas.
Bunch of no good losers who belonged to the Crips gang. Shooter got what he deserved, DEATH PENALTY! The other three, life sentence without parole.
Only closure on the matter I'll get when I finally see justice served, and see that scum die up in San Quentin.
Sorry, minor rant.

The guys obviously got 'Little man syndrome'
Who is he trying to impress? I reckon he must be trying to show off to the mums in the playground
What would the parents say to their kids,when they were asked 'mummy,why is that man carrying a gun?' 'Oh don't worry honey,it's alright to carry a gun.If a bad man came along,the nice man could start a firefight in the middle of the playground.That would be fun,wouldn't it?'

I'm not trying to be a prick, Wavex, it's just that many people (and they're often clueless, hysterical women) see things like this and press the panic button.
Try not to use comments like that - sexist comments like that are not acceptable :spank:
