Parents concerned with man holding rifle across street from elementary school
WICHITA, Kan. A man sitting on his front porch holding what appears to be a rifle,
right across the street from an elementary school. It’s a sight that has
parents in Wichita concerned.
The Wichita School District said it’s aware of the situation but adds, the man isn’t doing anything illegal. Now, that man is saying this is
all just a misunderstanding.

No laws broken, no fucks given. I wonder how many parents have had the balls to just go chat with the guy. Betting few if any.

Two, the answer is two. Apparently one of them said they would stab him if he didnt have the gun. I guess Id make sure I had the gun everytime I went outside since I dont want to get stabbed.

"But Kyle said he’s had two people confront him, threatening him because he had a firearm.

“He said if I didn’t have that gun I’d cut you up real good,” Kyle said remembering something a man outside his house said to him this week."



Apparently the Wichita school system is a bit deficient.

That's not a real bad neighborhood, as far as I remember. I haven't been out that way in several years.

On the one hand, if his purpose was to provide some sort of protection for the children, I could appreciate that. But he never said anything about that.

He said he's a hunter who likes to sit with his gun, just because he has a gun doesn't mean he's a bad guy and he's sorry for calling someone a mean name. That just sounds weird as shit to me. It makes no sense.  Now to be clear, I'm not asking for the government to take away his rights over this, but I'd expect parents to be concerned. It's not the actual carrying the gun that bothers me, it's his nonsensical explanation for his actions that bothers me.

He can, but he shouldn't.

Yeah, malls and pretty much any place where large numbers of people congregate will have armed security there. Israels gun laws pretty much suck but at least they provide some security for the disarmed people.

Yep, sitting on the porch, not drinking, drugging, or doing anything illegal.

Had he been sitting there with any other tool, this would've never been news.

Can you provide links to the GD thread where a Muslim is sitting on his porch across from a school and everyone is upset?  Or are you just being particularly contrarian today?  Because my general feeling is that Arf supports gun rights for everyone.  I remember the BBP thread where they show up with rifles and GD's typical comment is "Good, everyone should be armed".

To be fair, he doesn't owe anyone any explanation. He likes guns and he likes sitting on his porch. It's legal and that's all anybody really "deserves" in terms of an explanation.

What other tool could he be holding while sitting on his porch that is capable of killing someone 100yds away?

Just sitting there fondling the rifle strikes me as a bit odd. If he was cleaning the rifle it would be less odd IMO.

You wouldn't find it odd if someone (not obviously a maintenance/construction worker) was walking around the grocery store or mall carrying a cordless skill saw or nail gun?

Highly improbable, yet possible, scenario: Another Sandy Hook-type loon, be it a domestic or foreign, pulls up starts unloading guns out of his trunk, all covered in body armor & dons a mask, not noticing still-sitting vigilant Patriot sitting on porch, & said individual engages him & prevents another school massacre....

Good Shoot?

What if he was a legal resident from Syria - a true American then?

I'd still wonder why he was sitting there in the first place - the odds are just too low to implement that as a viable risk mitigation.

It's not hypocrisy. I don't think what he's doing should be illegal. It's just a bad look.  

I don't necessarily agree with the parents about it, but I can see their perspective.

I've always felt not looking or acting like a nut was pretty important when living around other people.

My perspective would be just because you can, doesn't mean you should. He has every right to do it, and I understand the parents being uneasy about it. Now if things were like the old days where neighbors and neighborhoods were close and we knew everyone, no shits would be given.

Jimmy is on the porch again with his long gun.  Reminds me,  I think I will head on over and talk with him and ask him over for dinner. I want to check out the new glass he just bought for his rifle too.

I agree in principle but then again I wouldnt be sitting on my porch with a rifle every day in front of an elementary school just for "principle".

Maybe on the occasion I had to clean it I would. But then again in the right community Im surprised anyone would even call it in. To me its no different then a power saw or a nail gun but these Libs they screech all over 911 and these dispatchers start screeching into the radio like its a 9/11 type deal. Sometimes its better to lay off the theater.

But its his right if theres no Law on the books. Its HIS house.

I'm not racist so... I don't get your point. A right is a right, right?

And yes, if a Syrian immigrant prevented a tragedy by exercising his 2A rights, I would call him "A true American".

If he was going to do something I would surmise it wouldn't be in the non "dangerous & unusual" way he is doing it in.

Your feels are hurt, I get it. DU is that way--->

To me it's analogues to a hunter sitting in a stand or a blind.
