This is only a big deal because it looks like a scary gun. It's been legal to carry guns in and out of Hartsfield (outside TSA checkpoint) since forever. In this case, the gun looks scary.
Did you pansies also know that it's completely legal to travel with a gun in your checked baggage? That means lots and lots of people walk into the airport with guns all the time.
But one gun is on his shoulder, the other gun is 10 seconds away in a bag...
big difference?
Not to me.

Uh, ok. If I am robbing a place or people (which is what I said and what you quoted), I am going to take out the most obvious threat first. This moron has lost has tactical advantage.
I don't really give a shite what 99.9% would do, I know what I would do.

Good for him. Things like this have to be done so the shock will wear off. After a few years, so many cc will be around, it will be commonplace.
I guarantee you the ninjas would try the knowckout game on this guy. Or grab his woman's purse, etc
9/11 would have been thwarted had there been a few passengers with cc permits on each plane...period!
I feel safer if there is a legal carry guy with no felonies walking around the terminal packing. Or the mall, or the school, or the bank, etc.
Out tax dollars that we've spent building up these police units DO NOT PROTECT US. Actually, there is a strong constant push to give thugs more protection.
frick!!

I'm not against open carry, but people need to be smart about it, alas that is not the case for a large part of our population

Exactly. Go to Israel .... this is commonplace. It needs to be the same way here in The South.

So you expect people to believe that, given your goal of just robbing someone or someplace, if you saw a heavily armed person you would immediately try to kill him, knowing that if you fail he would most assuredly kill you, and if you succeed you then add murder to your crime and continue your robbery?
Whatever, internet badass.

I honestly don't see the big deal or why so many on here, including pro 2nd amendment folks, are freaking out over it.
I say good for him. The more armed (concealed or not) lawful citizens we have, the safer we are.
FWIW, I carry (concealed) guns into airports all the time, just never if I'm flying. If I'm flying, and I'm flying to a gun friendly state, I pack 'em in my luggage (just check with whatever airline your flying with to make sure you comply with whatever regs they have regarding this).

Christ, buddy. How hard is it to understand that someone open carrying loses their tactical advantage? Is that such a crazy concept to you? Forget I even used the word "robbery", my point was that this dude would be the first person taken out by anyone who is looking for their biggest threat. It would be hard to fail since this guy would have no clue where the bullet is coming in a crowded environment.

I wouldn't worry about this guy pulling off an accurate shot anyway......Hey crazy eyes... Camera is over here....

Yeah, and thank God we aren't Israel where people live in fear every day. We are so damn spoiled in this country with the freedoms we have.
So, my question is, you'd be ok with just anyone walking around with one of those, and if that person thinks they need to protect themselves and let some bullets fly and you or someone you know gets hit by those bullets, you're cool with that? You want to live in a society where everyone is carrying a deadly weapon, whether they are responsible users or not, and you know damn well that not everyone would be a responsible user.
I have no problem with anyone owning or carrying a gun, I just worry about all those people that aren't responsible enough to do it. The only reason you walk around in public with an AR-15 is to strike fear or get a reaction. No one with a concealed pistol is going for that.

By knowing where his weapon is, you have the upper hand, jackass.

For the record, I fully agree with the observation that just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD, and that fits this situation but this statement deserves to be addressed.
There are already tens if not close to hundreds of millions of people carrying guns right now and they're often used in self defense.
See how many examples you can find of a civilian attempting to legally use a gun in self defense and hitting an unintended target.
Here are a couple of ground rules -
1) Gangbanging shootouts aren't legal uses of a weapon
2) Note the unintended target part. A drunk going to the wrong house or a boyfriend slipping in a teenage girl's room isn't an unintended target.
I'll go ahead and help you out. If you're really good with Google-fu, you'll find one in Texas where a civilian intervened in an armed robbery and accidentally shot the store clerk, but that's about it. The record clearly shows that civilians that legally carry are very restrained and/or accurate when they use their weapons in self defense.
