I know some day she is going to write a check with her mouth that her body cant cash . . .
Why would you get in a fight because some guy calls your wife names? What does that prove exactly? I would never, nor would my wife expect me to, start a fight because some one called her fat/skinny/ugly/hot etc. Of course if the guy is saying he's going to take action and hurt someone then you have to take defensive action.
In some states that will work and in others that will not. MA (my home base) is one of those places that open carry is not illegal but has been described by most of the LEO in the state that I know as "a very dangerous and foolish thing to do for various reasons". I agree... If someone notices you with the open carry firearm and they are in the market for a loaded gun for let’s say their next "armed robbery" or "car jackin stunt" and they manage to get the jump on you, well you could fit the bill. Wake up in the hospital with a head full of staples and some degree of short term memory loss. The other reason is the fear and complete panic that most non gun owning folks will exhibit when they encounter a person not in uniform (either Military or LEO) with a gun on their side... Most (not all) folks here in the north-east are afraid of gun toting folks.. Cops will get the call and the description to the 911 operator could be as follows: “Oh My God there is some guy here with a gun”. “Where is he”? “He’s walking by the bank, I think he’s planning to rob the bank”… Oh Yeah, I’m really fond of “get on the ground now!!” and 2 or more guns being pointed at me…Anyway kinda rambled there, but keeping cool and laughing at the situation with some degree of self awareness that you could just shoot the guy and make it all better… That would be a tough sell to the jury I must say. “Guilty? How so? “He called my wife a fat whore”, I had to kill him”… :sarcastic:Prevent it.
You see, if the insulting party doesn’t know you, they don’t know if you’re sane and normal or a complete loon. Carry openly. Nobody will bother you because nobody knows for sure if you’re:
A cop
A violent nutjob
An honest citizen who avoids conflict
All of the above
We've talked about confrontations on other threads. Thought I might start a new one to gen up new interest.
Here's the deal: You're carrying and someone insults your wife publicly. To me, that calls for a confrontation on your part. But, now you're carrying. I don't think we can go scuffling around with somebody since that's a good way to lose control of your weapon. Walk away? That would be tough. Hand the gun to your wife? Mine has a carry permit but still...Go deposit your weapon in your vehicle, come back, and THEN smack somebody? Nahhh...If I'm gonna fight, I intend to hit first, hard, and fast; anything else sets you up to lose. So, I don't know...what do we do? I can walk away from some crap, but there are plenty of situations that I don't think I could (insulting my wife in front of me is one of them). I'm interested in hearing from the "brotherhood"...What would you do?
