OC at Staples.

[jbrooks19]

Sooooo, lemme start by saying i work at Staples and do computer repair for them. A guy came in the other day OC'ing which i have no problem with which does not bother me as i OC as well, but; this guy unholstered his gun in the middle of the store!!!!!!!


I struck up a conversation about guns when i noticed him carrrying and asked "What ya carry there bud? He replied "I dont know" and then pulled it out of his holster to see what gun it was...................

I stepped away and said "hey i will need you to reholster your gun please, sir" he then shrugged it off as if it is completely acceptable to pull out your loaded firearm in the middle of a busy store... Now am i just nuts or am i right that you shouldn't pull out your gun in the middle of the store!?!??

I don't know which is the bigger fail. Not knowing what type of gun you're depending on to save your life or someone else's. Or whipping it out in public not knowing what type of gun it is. Wonder if he knew whether or not it was loaded or chambered.

 

[maxmayhem]

this is a weird story...i think i would have used the easy button before confronting him...are you sure he wasnt open carrying a staple gun/1911?

I can think of two reasons.
1. Weapon in hand equates to handing over the stores money
2. The guy was a complete moron.

More stuff like this and there will be more business owners not allowing firearms on their premises.

I am sure Kirk will be along soon to explain coonfingering, keep it in the holster, etc. soon.

It was actually a Ruger i believe p95... I had a better idea of what he was carrying than he did!!!!! And i'm guessing it was chambered since the hammer was back!

 

[Valvestate]

And i'm guessing it was chambered since the hammer was back!

It sounds like he wouldn't have know that either, or that the hammer was back...

Alright that's it. Time to take all the warning labels off of everything. Let the natural selection begin.

 

[ATM]

Didn't know what he was carrying and whipped it out to check...

wow.

I guess that's a conversation starter you never imagined you'd like to take back.

 

[jbrooks19]

Yup.. wish I never had asked... this guy was a tool.

 

[Kedric]

That takes a special kind of brain dead....

 

[croy]

Luckily it wasn't a glock... that thing could've went off at any second

 

[Shay]

He was just exercising his rights. Don't be judgmental!

 

[AllenM]

he must have taken it from a 5 yr old girl

 

[youngda9]

Perhaps he has so many carry guns that he forgot which one he was carrying that day.

You guys that are making fun of him are just jealous.

I dont see the big deal. Staples is gun friendly. Heck they sell the Swingline 747 the most popular gun in the world. I have one in hand, loaded and ready to punch holes. Btw, no safety on this model.

IT
WAS
NOT
ME!

... and don't the Ruger P-series guns function similar to a Beretta in that when you engage the safety, the hammer decocks? If so, there's no way to carry cocked and locked and you can add that to the list of fail.

I've seen this before. More than a few times. It does happen, folks.

I don't know how I could of restrained from yelling "ARE YOU F***in KIDDING ME". Some people are just plain stupid.

 

[Expat]

You missed your chance to put some chlorine in the gene pool.
