Open carry (handgun) in VA - interested in opinions on my current situation -- dans93 08/15/2018 09:09AM Very Late to this Conversation ... but -- vtdadingf 08/16/2018 10:12AM Your kid playing with his kid is the game changer -- HokiesBill48 08/15/2018 3:36PM Yes, no matter how pro or anti gun you are, proper safe handling -- Tafkam Hokie 08/15/2018 5:06PM And btw, kids are kids and will handle a firearm if they find one -- HokiesBill48 08/15/2018 3:46PM Can I ask where in Virginia? ** -- Brown Water 08/15/2018 1:57PM Fairfax county -- dans93 08/15/2018 3:15PM Well you could, but he might shoot your eye out... ** -- JoesterVT 08/15/2018 2:15PM Buy and carry a bigger gun! -- `lag 08/15/2018 12:29PM I would at least engage in a conversation with him. -- HokieSignGuy 08/15/2018 12:21PM Do you ask every kids parents that your kid plays with how they store -- fordham 08/15/2018 12:36PM Even if you do to your own kid, do you trust the others? ** -- NokieHokie 08/15/2018 8:37PM I know parents who do. -- Tafkam Hokie 08/15/2018 2:58PM We'd probably ask what he's carrying and compare. ** -- Major Kong 08/15/2018 11:43AM Would it make you feel better if he carried and you couldn't see it? -- Naelbis 08/15/2018 11:11AM It would make me feel better if he wasn't an adult conspiracy -- Brown Water 08/15/2018 12:02PM I'd bet money that he goes places trying to get a reaction from business -- reestuart 08/15/2018 1:04PM "Am I being detained?!? Am I free to go?!?" ** -- Gobbler-100 08/15/2018 1:35PM Neither of which has any bearing on how he handles firearms, how juvenile. ** -- Naelbis 08/15/2018 12:21PM Maybe his issue is with increased opportunity for something to go "wrong" -- typed by ben 08/16/2018 06:48AM Says you ** -- Brown Water 08/15/2018 12:40PM That wouldn't bother me nearly as much. Having it out in the open -- reestuart 08/15/2018 11:27AM I worry about the kid's curiosity being piqued. Then they go looking. ** -- GFallsFan 08/15/2018 11:57AM That's part of the reason I've taught my kids about firearms -- Tafkam Hokie 08/15/2018 3:03PM Yep. My son would be all over that. ** -- reestuart 08/15/2018 1:02PM You should absolutely feel comfortable asking him about it. He's free to -- ModerateHokie 08/15/2018 11:07AM It wouldn't bother me in the least. Had some friends who used to come over -- Hokie CPA 08/15/2018 11:02AM Carrying a gun on your hip in the neighborhood seems extreme to me. -- Coach McGuirk 08/15/2018 10:50AM I watch westerns all afternoon. Getting used to everyone carrying open. ** -- TomTurkey 08/15/2018 11:57AM I once was out in my backyard with my 2 kids, 3 and 4 years old, -- GFallsFan 08/15/2018 11:14AM Is it legal to do so where you live? -- Nova Hokie 95 08/15/2018 11:51AM Poseidon style beard and clothing? -- TomTurkey 08/15/2018 10:55AM I think it's reasonable to have a conversation with him and the parents. -- GFallsFan 08/15/2018 10:36AM Absolutely- I would offer that you are NOT doing your job as a parent -- WestEndHokie39 08/15/2018 10:55AM Honestly though, the open carry crowd is usually very responsible -- JoesterVT 08/15/2018 10:44AM Good reason to ask. Anyone can "assume" they;'re safe. ** -- 48zip 08/15/2018 10:55AM To you maybe. I have left restaurants after seeing guns being carried -- TheNuke 08/15/2018 2:26PM Huh? I was talking about asking if the weapons at home are secured.Not sure -- 48zip 08/15/2018 7:02PM I was just commenting that if I am around a person, other than a cop, with -- TheNuke 08/15/2018 9:58PM That is unfortunate as you are actually safer with someone there -- fordham 08/15/2018 3:02PM I do not get the concern, he is not threatening anyone. -- fordham 08/15/2018 10:05AM Do you know why he carries all the time? -- dans93 08/15/2018 10:22AM Think of it this way... -- JoesterVT 08/15/2018 10:37AM Exactly -- Nova Hokie 95 08/15/2018 10:42AM I agree with you that a person, who open carries, is probably going to be 1 -- VTHokie2000 08/15/2018 11:15AM But will they "spray" a crowd where they know someone is armed over... -- EDGEMAN 08/15/2018 12:12PM I am not sure I would automatically lean that way -- VTHokie2000 08/15/2018 12:32PM If he wants a specific business or group of people... -- EDGEMAN 08/15/2018 2:02PM Why does it matter? He is not doing anything wrong is the point -- fordham 08/15/2018 10:31AM Clearly the govt will attack him when he's around kids. Knowing that, he -- NokieHokie 08/15/2018 10:01AM It's been 30 minutes-SHUN! and teill him.... -- TD-Tech 08/15/2018 09:44AM I think asking about the status of the guns in their house is perfectly -- HokieNoVA 08/15/2018 09:43AM So the guy lives in mom's basement, works on a conspiracy theory website, -- DJ Golf 08/15/2018 09:41AM Seriously haha. I would probably just move. -- Gobbler-100 08/15/2018 1:41PM Yep. This would bug me a bunch. Who the heck is saying he's a responsible -- reestuart 08/15/2018 11:23AM Add to the list -- failed relationship with mother of 5-year old. -- HWA 08/15/2018 10:49AM GF is mother, so maybe one less box? ** -- dans93 08/15/2018 10:51AM Ah. So the child isn't his, he's just dating the gf/mother? -- HWA 08/15/2018 12:00PM Sorry for confusion - it's his and his live-in gf's kid. ** -- dans93 08/15/2018 12:21PM Probably nothing ** -- WestEndHokie39 08/15/2018 09:52AM But but he is “responsible”... until he’s not, that is ** -- HokiesRespect 08/15/2018 09:47AM The "rub" ** -- TomTurkey 08/15/2018 10:28AM Sit down with him and chat, adult to adult. -- 48zip 08/15/2018 09:38AM Have you ever observed him handle the weapon irresponsibly? -- Tafkam Hokie 08/15/2018 09:23AM Why would he handle it at all? I would wonder about a guy that -- 81_Hokie 08/15/2018 10:02AM And he probably does not have the safey cap on the tide pods -- fordham 08/15/2018 10:07AM Have you met dans93? ** -- 48zip 08/15/2018 10:04AM I've never seen him remove it from his holster -- dans93 08/15/2018 09:35AM Paranoid responsible gun owner? how does that work? ** -- 81_Hokie 08/15/2018 10:05AMTech Sideline is Presented By:
