Strange... according to anti gun nuts, this should have resulted in a shoot out in the street. This story must be a fake.

http://uk.news.yahoo...-180740169.html

One person has been wounded in a shooting at a high school in California, as Vice President Joe Biden said he would provide the president with recommendations to curb gun violence in the next five days.
The victim was airlifted from Taft Union High School, about 120 miles north of Los Angeles, to hospital in nearby Bakersfield.

Theres something to balance it out....

Quote

One CEO says he's willing to go to outrageous lengths to protect his right to use a gun.

James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, a Tennessee company that trains people in weapon and tactical skills, claimed in a video posted on YouTube and Facebook that he would "start killing people" if President Barack Obama decides to take executive action to pass further gun control policies, Raw Story reports.

In a frenetic address to the camera, Yeager puts a call out to other gun rights advocates to "load your damn mags" and "get ready to fight" in what he claims will turn into a "civil war" if gun control measures in the country get any stricter.

Yeager's diatribe was a response to a recent statement from Vice President Joe Biden indicating that Obama was exploring using executive orders to address gun policy. Yeager accused Obama of being a "dictator" for considering taking action without Congress.

After the massacre in Newtown, Conn. last month, Obama instituted a task force lead by Biden to come up with policy proposals to deal with gun violence no later than this month.

The Washington Post reported that the White House is considering more expansive measures to tackle gun violence than simply reinstating a ban on assault weapons and large magazines. Biden's working group will consider initiatives such as a national database to track sale and movement of weapons and universal background checks for gun buyers.

These are the kind of morons along with the people in the OP who are "responsible gun owners"

Is there any reason you don't carry it concealed?

I understand it might be a visual deterrent but I would be uneasy with someone openly carrying near me.

Winter/cold weather I have a jacket on. An during the warm weather it looks very odd and I take notice to more people looking at the visible big bulge under my shirt.

Strange... according to pro gun nuts, these guys should've been out protecting the civilians from criminals and saving lives, not being attention whores.

Had something happened, they could have. Stop being unrealistic and maybe people won't treat you like the nut. These individuals have done nothing wrong, nothing illegal.

Wait, let me be as unrealistic as you. There we have it! Proof! Because these two people were on street, the thousands of killers that were planning a public shooting that day in that town changed their minds! FREE GUNS FOR EVERYONE! Yep, just as ignorant as your comment.

Sorry but that's bull****, after all that's happened in the past few weeks, all the shootings, what did they expect to happen walking down the streets with rifles strapped to their backs, of course people are going to be paranoid.

If they wanted to educate people they should have done it in a more organised way, set up an event in the local hall, put out flyers, not walk down the street with weapons strapped to their backs.

^ The styling ? Fires a lot of rounds per second.

Maybe. I don't know. I've read different things from different sources. There doesn't appear to be an actual commonly agreed upon definition. That being the case, how can you ban something you don't know?
If I stabbed you with a knife, wouldn't that be considered an assault weapon?

No what? No you can't ban something you don't know or no a knife isn't an assault weapon? So what is the definition?

REALLY? What a freaking idiot.

no.

not even an assault knife? there is no real difference between the two. Assault knifes arent even sharper than a sushi knife. Maybe we should ban sushi knives?

[TheLegendOfMart]

Maybe we should ban common sense, oh wait that wouldn't make any difference as the general level of intelligence of a gun owner is pretty much bottom of the barrel anyway.

And your true face shows. Just another ignorant child scared of something he doesn't understand. Let the rest of us grownups talk. Atleast we are trying to have a sensable conversation about what changes can be made that doesn't infringe on our right to defend ourselves while protecting the public verse your lay down and let criminals do as they please, including kill you, attitude.

It would be considered assault with a deadly weapon. Assault weapon refers to any weapon with either a burst or automatic fire option. Assault can be carried out with anything, but an 'assault' weapon is designed to put as many rounds downrange in the shortest amount of time as accurately as possible.
