Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    The walker has a screw loose and is a very
    poor example of an honest law abiding gun
    owner.
    Concealed carry ,yes ,open carry like that
    not advised , and he is just asking for trouble.
    It's the cops job to investigate and make sure
    he isn't a whack-job.

    This one is even better IMO, and if you all had any idea how liberal Corvallis is, you'd swear it was a staged act or something.

    If they have reasonable suspicion of illegal activity.

    In the second video clip another cop
    appeared, why?, in case this nut job
    was a psycho-"reasonable suspicion" in my
    book and well as trying to find a policeman
    who is not so layed back.
    Try that little charade on a very busy sidewalk
    and see how far he gets without becoming a public
    nuisance.

    Don't know. Sounds like they'd been getting a lot of calls. A fact that puzzles me a bit because it appears he begins his escapades just prior to meeting up with the cop.

    rong- You obviously believe a gun is bad. A gun should not illicit such hateful emotions. It's just a gun. Why should a man be subjected to the insults you hurl and the suspicions you raise simply because he has a gun? You are agreeing Feinstein. She also believes it's the guns that are bad.

    As for myself, I don't want anyone to know I am carry-in.
    I don't want to have to fight, someone come up try to take it.
    Remember Zimmerman, the punk tried to take his gun, he ended up dead.
    But it was a fight to the death.

    I can understand wanting to carry concealed. But if open carry is legal and one is doing nothing more than carrying a gun that should not be cause for harassment.

    Yep true, in Florida if you are heading to hunt or fishing, you can open carry.
    I have not tried it to see reaction, I would hate to get thrown to the payment.
    It takes so long for me to get up, from a chair, getting up from the payment
    could take me a while.

    That area is Known as Springtucky cause all the rednecks live there.

    He actually was in an area of town that carrying open or concealed is a very good Idea with all the Meth heads that are in that area.

    But where he was walking was just one block from the police station. There are some great Cops working there and always have tried to be of service.

    Only watched Part of it. That is the area where the Sherrif sent out a letter to all of the people in his area statting he would support the 2nd. Good area but near a College Oregon State.

    I have no problem with a person open carrying legally, but this kid is obviously out trolling for some confrontation. He feels he has to go out and "rate" ofcrs from different agencies on their contact with him.

    He does not consider that many citizens ( right or wrong) will call the police when they see him walking the street with his guns. The police are then obligated to respond and make contact. As mentioned in the second video this ties up resources that could be used to handle other calls for service.

    You will notice that he stayed away from Eugene and Portland. Eugene is Separated from Springfield By just I-5.

    In Eugene he may have been Maced and had his weapons taken. Till they can figure out if he is truly legal.

    Many years ago I was at a Store by the U of O. Was Writing a check(tells you how long ago cause All I use is Debit now) Well I dropped my pen and it cause a Panic. See that pen was a 50 Cal pen.

    The Sheriff in Eugene even said he would support the President on Gun Control.

    I am for carrying whichever way a person wants if it's legal. Personally I would not go walking down the street with my AR slung over my back..if he wants to deal with cops all day thats his business. Will agree though I think he was trolling for a confrontation. Had he just been open carrying a handgun I bet they wouldn't have had any calls. Eventhough open carry is legal in many states there are provisions in some that the cops can use against you if it's deemed the pansy public is feeling "terrorized".
