The latest faux outrage hitting Moms Demand Action.
Who would engage in a half a mile run with a gun in the open? That is just not done! It is insane…well only if you do not include an Olympic sport albeit on skies and for miles and miles: Biathlon.
As you can see, we are not talking about a sedated pace or even a leisured run but a spheres-to-the-wall cross-country run-and-gun sport.
Do not expect to see MDA boycotting the Olympic Games anytime soon. Maybe we will see them wearing those stupid paper ties.
“Two actions away from being fired” is the crazy part to me.
Well, by my count “draw, aim, pull trigger” is three actions… ^_^
But that’s probably not what they mean.
Indeed. “It’s legal to openly carry a gun without a permit if the owner isn’t a felon” sounds perfectly reasonable.
Or are they wanting felons to be the only people who carry guns? Given what I know about Moms Demand [Motherly] Action, they probably do.
In Utah, ‘two actions away from being fired’ simply means that you cannot carry with a round in the chamber (unless you have a CCW). Thus, racking the slide is one action, pulling the trigger is the second action.
Does that mean it’s illegal to carry a double-action revolver in Utah, or is cocking the hammer considered an action whether done manually or by trigger-pull?
I have no idea what that means. I figure it is one of those myths like “you can have a gun in your car in Florida if it takes you three steps to get it.”
Myths?
Dunno about Florida law, but Ohio law is like that. It used to be worse — having loaded magazines in your trunk and a firearm in the passenger compartment could get you a felony for improper handling in a vehicle, unless you had a concealed permit.
Here in Florida is simple: Must be securely encased. It can be in a zippered pouch, glove compartment or center console and out of view. But some have to come up with a cute terminology that will render people in jail.
Let’s face it, the mentality that drives groups like this is one generation removed from protesting RUNNING.
I mean, someone could trip and hurt themselves!? Someone might skin their knee!? Our children could have asthma attacks!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!
Call your Congressman and DEMAND more funding for public transportation and common-sense restrictions on high-speed footwear. Don’t let the Nike lobby win!
Did you know that there is a correlation between leaving your house and dying of heat stroke?
Ermehgerd, that’s terrible and frightening news! The government should make global warming unlegal…
You’re not MY mom! Stop telling me what to do!
^^^^^WIN
Or …. Soldiers who run while holding rifles and / or pistols. Or those 3 gun competitions.
It has to do w/ guns therefore they are against it.
