Gun-Control Advocates Target Jersey Mike’s for Boycott for Allowing Open Carry

I’m not an open carry fan but I’m not offended or threatened by someone who does open carry. What OFFENDS ME is a bunch of self-righteous Demoncrats that have made our country into a place where people feel they need to carry a gun for self defense.

First off,s apologizing to the liberal snowflakes mental disorder crowd only gives them power to continue pushing their mental illness on the rest of us! Second, looking at the photo it appears to be a set up photo op just for this reason, if I saw someone so sloppily carrying I would say something and hope they have the sense enough to listen to advise as that protects all of ours rights. Third, no one has ever died from “gun violence” that implies guns themselves are violent, when in fact they are inanimate objects. People die from the actions of other people, guns are not dangerous or violent, it’s people who can be!

I encourage ” Travis Akers ” AKA pajama boy to try and live out little wet dream of a fantasy.

Nothing would warm my heart more than to see some limp wristed pajama boy get put down like the little bitch that he is.

In that scenario if that man turned around and grabbed you by little chicken neck , your response would probably be to shit your pajama bottoms .

Great for Jersey Mikes. Here I come.

I agree with another comment here, that it looks “staged.” Atho, insofar as I know, there is no limit set by law and just how many guns one may carry….. , something about the photo just doesn’t ring true. Why would someone with an IWB holster (PURPOSELY designed for CC) yet not have his shirt concealing it, indeed, with the shirt looking to be knowingly pulled up. AND,… a 2nd pistol carried within several inches of the first??? C’mon!!!! The pic looks staged but — by WHO? Pro-gunners trying to make an in-your-face statement, anti-gunners trying to instill fear or, a competitor of Jersey Mike’s trying to drive away business??

That’s a staged photo op. I wont at Jersey Mike’s subs, they are to far left leaning for my TASTES. 2NDS COUNT.

I wouldn’t carry in that manner for a number of reasons. I rarely carry open, for my own purposes I don’t want the attention and don’t want anyone to know I’m carrying, let alone where and how.

This man is not brandishing but, the manner of carry does invite criminals who see two guns, one behind his right hip to try and take one.

Neither holster, even when I enlarge the picture appear to have any kind of retention device to prevent someone from pulling them out. The 5 o’clock holster is an IWB like a Crossbreed and the 3 o’clock holster is an OWB or paddle types that doesn’t clearly show if it does or doesn’t.

I’ve been carrying almost everyday since 1995 with both civilian and military training. I’m not claiming any particular expertise but decades of real world experience and training does give me a valid perspective.

While I prefer to carry my handgun concealed whenever possible (I prefer not to give the bad guys a “heads up” that I am armed and prepared to defend myself), if others choose to do so when legal, so be it. I would have preferred the CEO of Jersey Mike’s (or the Company’s spokesperson) To simply respond to critics by tweeting “It was a joke – get over it!” And let it go at that. Those who say they will not eat at Jersey Mike’s probably never ate there anyway. Those who say they will patronize that company now may, who knows. Anyway, everyone has a right to their opinion and to speak it – that’s what the 2nd Amendment does – it ensures that if our “govern”ment Ever forgets that “We the People” are in charge, we can throw the bastards out by whatever means is necessary.

I don’t understand the desire for open carry. People can do whatever they want to with respect to how they carry, but open carry takes away the element of surprise and also makes that person the first target of an attacker. Any trained individual will address the primary threat. A person with an exposed firearm presents that primary threat. Keep it concealed, keep the element of surprise on your side. Speed, surprise, overwhelming force wins the day.

Personally, I too, would rather not open carry. HOWEVER, I would NOT put down someone who DOES. In fact, I applaud them for encouraging others to carry.

I have met people who are afraid of guns. I can’t relate. But after getting to know one of them, and showing them kindness and love, revealed that I carry. I then encouraged this (single) woman that she, too, really ought to be carrying for self-protection, explaining how safe training would change her point of view.

Today, she still does not carry, as far as I know, but I believe her sons, who were both in high school while we knew them, are now licensed carriers. I believe my wife & I had an impact on them all.

Anyway, as I said, open carry may single you out in a bad situation. On the other hand, your gentle kindness as a carrier, might rub off on others and change their perspective of the kinds of people who do carry.

Furthermore, in a room filled with open carry patrons, a bad guy is like going to become very uncomfortable. And maybe that’s the point. When those that want to do bad things start thinking that all America is armed, they might decide to go get an honest job somewhere, instead of getting killed.

This is Fine example if you’re going to carry open or concealed you need proper training I wonder if he cares if that gun falls out and goes off and hurt someone remember the video of the FBI agent who dropped his gun dancing and accidentally discharge

Personally, I don’t want you to know that I am armed until I need to use it, but I respect those who do open carry. One less sheeple is always a good thing, though I do not understand why he’s carrying it that way. Hurray for Jersey Mike’s! I will be a patron if I ever get the chance.
