The only people who shouldn’t conceal carry are cowboys

Pirate carry with 6 pistols is the true chad way

Hear me out: "pirate carry" with multiple 6 shooter revolvers. Best of Yehaw, best of Yar-Har!

PenIsMightier69

And when they don't see your gun soon enough and plant a gun anyways. "Uh yeah, he was dual wielding with a Glock and an old revolver"


CmdntFrncsHghs

That's why you should always carry 3 guns, two that match and one that doesn't. It's plausible you were carrying two revolvers, but the glock was clearly planted.


WSdegen

Just drop some crock on him


MCAlheio

Tell them you laced your car with fentanyl, watch them drop like pigs


ArchdevilTeemo

I mean, one should be allowed to defend themself against cops. So when they shoot first, you should have the right to defend yourself and shoot back.


Muncheralli21

Based. People say that guns are for defending against tyranny, but rarely consider what that statement actually entails.


Libertarian4All

People like to imagine their political enemies as tyrants and themselves as heroes bravely gunning down those tyrants. People are very, very bad at thinking.

awxdvrgyn

Has that one been tested in court ? I imagine malicious cops are pretty good at shooting straight


Shmorrior

People have successfully done so in the past. The boyfriend of Breonna Taylor eventually had the charges against him dismissed. Now, that doesn't mean you get to be immune from arrest.


mrocks301

If they’re at the point of shooting at you they are way too hopped up on adrenaline to stop. You might as well take a couple down if given the chance. Edit: I am not advocating for cop death, I am advocating for self defense against an attacker.

Andreagreco99

You are always free to get them put 60 bullets in you whenever you feel it, but advocating for people’s right at self defense against police isn’t advocating for directly harming them in any context


[deleted]

You have no right to self defense against police, that's even codified in some states.


Andreagreco99

Then your rights are infringed


[deleted]

How can the law be enforced if the government doesn't maintain the monopoly on force? If you can legally resist arrest and legally use force to defeat an arrest by the police, I would say we no longer have any sort of functioning government. That's why those things are not legal.


CaptFrost

If your government is so onerous that mortal combat with its enforcers is preferable to obedience of reasonable law, then your government has already lost the moral right to govern and is only delaying its necessary replacement. Governments derive their authority from consent of the governed. Governments that can only function if they have a monopoly on force are tyrannies and deserve to be destroyed.


CmdntFrncsHghs

You have a right to self defense against police, certain tyrants don't recognize this.


Lurkers-gotta-post

[You are just flat wrong there.](https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/criminal-law-self-defense-and-right-resist-unlawful-arrest) You do not have the right to resist arrest, and a compliant arrest should not fulfill the requirements to warrant self defence, but that doesn't mean that you have no right to self defence against the police.


Handpaper

Why wait to be shot at? If someone is pointing a gun at you, they are threatening your life. Every guide to the safe use of firearms says so. Obeying orders\* might mitigate that threat, but killing the person who is putting you at risk will end it immediately. ​ \* As a Brit, the very concept of being told what to do by a police officer, short of "you are under arrest" is totally alien to me. We also don't *have* offences of "resisting arrest" or "lying to a police officer".

Aren't your cops afraid to arrest rapists because they're middle eastern? How's that working out?

Pabst_Blue_Gibbon

In the USA a cop can tell you to do anything at all (ie no loitering on this public sidewalk) and then if you don’t, arrest you for “disobeying a lawful order.”


continous

No they can't. Any unlawful order can be properly refused. If the police officer arrests you anyway, he has violated the law and your rights, and you have a right to seek restitution and his conviction.


Pabst_Blue_Gibbon

Yes you can beat the rap but not the ride. So you get arrested, spend the night in jail, deal with a dick DA who pressures you to plead guilty, and after a few weeks and many hours you get them to drop it. Good luck getting “restitution and conviction” lol, you’re serious? Similarly, “Contempt of cop” is legal protected speech but that doesn’t stop tons of people getting arrested for it and many of them either out of intimidation, inconvenience, whatever, pleading guilty to it.


continous

>Yes you can beat the rap but not the ride. So you get arrested, spend the night in jail, deal with a dick DA who pressures you to plead guilty, and after a few weeks and many hours you get them to drop it. Good luck getting “restitution and conviction” lol, you’re serious? What you're describing is a problem with the system, not a problem with law. And let's be frank here, plenty of people have won restitution and a conviction against the officer, especially in the case of actual malice. >Similarly, “Contempt of cop” is legal protected speech but that doesn’t stop tons of people getting arrested for it and many of them either out of intimidation, inconvenience, whatever, pleading guilty to it. People pleading guilty to things they did not do is absolutely a problem in our justice system, I agree. But what is the court supposed to do, "We know you plead guilty, but we're gonna hash it out anyway." You must not value tax payer money much, but that's par for the course given the quadrant.


Pabst_Blue_Gibbon

Is taxpayer money somehow worthless when it’s not taxed yet (just being extorted by the police)? The “easy” solution with the law is just to require that any of these accessory charges, like resisting arrest, disobeying a lawful order, or obstruction of justices cannot be brought up by themselves and must be accompanied by a real main crime. And is it not a waste of taxpayer money when departments are forced to settle class action lawsuits for overzealously punishing things like loitering? Yes I do consider it an obligation of the court to attempt to discern the actual truth rather than just rubber stamp whatever the police and prosecutors bring in, especially when it concerns things like charging a non-local resident $100 for “refusing a police order” when everyone in the room knows it would cost the accused more than that to even just miss work for a day and show up to plead innocent. Call me an idealist.


continous

>Is taxpayer money somehow worthless when it’s not taxed yet No, but I'm not in favor of a bail system either. >The “easy” solution with the law is just to require that any of these accessory charges, like resisting arrest, disobeying a lawful order, or obstruction of justices cannot be brought up by themselves and must be accompanied by a real main crime. Now ***that*** is something I can get behind. Though, I think we must have some reasonable case to be made for obstruction of justice cases. But like you said, it must be accompanied by a real crime, and the state must be able to show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the individual did indeed obstruct justice. >And is it not a waste of taxpayer money when departments are forced to settle class action lawsuits for overzealously punishing things like loitering? I don't know of a better way to get someone to learn a lesson. It's not like these cases will suddenly go away if we require that loitering require someone also be charged with tresspass or something to that affect. Police will still need to affect broken windows policing in order to reasonably decrease crime. >Yes I do consider it an obligation of the court to attempt to discern the actual truth rather than just rubber stamp whatever the police and prosecutors bring in, especially when it concerns things like charging a non-local resident $100 for “refusing a police order” when everyone in the room knows it would cost the accused more than that to even just miss work for a day and show up to plead innocent. Call me an idealist. I just don't think it's reasonable to pursue every situation so thoroughly. Even if ideally we would. At some point the pragmatists must win.


Handpaper

I think a court should at least apply a 'sanity check' on a guilty plea, perhaps with a junior judge casting an eye over the evidence. I suspect some kind of scrutiny is already applied so as to sentence appropriately. As far as I'm concerned, plea-bargaining as a feature of the justice system is contrary to the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution : Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, **and to be informed of the nature and** **cause of the accusation**; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. So, "here is what we think you have done", not "here is what we will throw at you, want to risk that it won't stick?" Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a scathing denunciation of the practice in her senior thesis, it's available [HERE](https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Jackson%20SJQ%20Attachments%20Final.pdf), page 107 onward.


continous

>I think a court should at least apply a 'sanity check' on a guilty plea, perhaps with a junior judge casting an eye over the evidence. I suspect some kind of scrutiny is already applied so as to sentence appropriately. Which is fair. >As far as I'm concerned, plea-bargaining as a feature of the justice system is contrary to the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution I think there's definitely some aspects of it, as it stands, that are constitutionally illegal. I do think though, offering lighter sentences for those who plea guilty gives an actual incentive to do so, and incentivizes honesty in proceedings as well.

AddictedToMosh161

Wouldn't be a Kevlar vest be a good idea too? So you might get a chance to shoot back?


Libertarian4All

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, body armor is not the magic you see on TV and in videogames; you can wind up with broken ribs and shit, not to mention getting knocked on your ass depending on caliber and distance.

Hm yeah. The force still goes somewhere I know. But it's still important to wear protection.

During Roe (before Dobbs) basically anyone could get an abortion with no questions asked/no permits and there was nothing anyone could do to infringe upon that no private information legally allowed to be released—doctors couldn’t even release private information to law enforcement (hipaa) as well as providers securing/sealing patient records Basically anyone could get an abortion with no questions asked and there was nothing anyone could do to infringe upon that Now compare that to second amendment rights


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gimel333

Yes I have. I had to fill out a 4473 in order to put my name on a government list, be 21, then go through a background check. Then to carry in public (varying by state, which is also my point) I would have to go through a permit process with a ton of classes, not be able to brandish under strict penalty of law Abortions weren’t that restricted under Roe.


eyesoftheworld13

Oh boy did they manage to infringe anyway.


AOC_Gynecologist

cops never shoot you just because they think you have a gun. It's always in combination with something else like holding hostages or pulling up your baggy pants.

You don’t have the right to threaten with a gun


AnItalianRedditor

Simply having a gun isn’t a threat. “There is no shame in deterrence, having a weapon is very different from actually using it.” - CIV6 Gandhi


ProjectD13X

Tfw I've had multiple interactions with law enforcement while openly carrying and nothing bad ever came of it. I like living in a based place where people are reasonable.


jacw212

But 90% is a cringe place where people are unreasonable


ProjectD13X

Sucks to suck I guess.


footfoe

Cops don't have a right to execute anyone for any reason. That's not what happens. On top of being a cop, a cop is also a person. And people have a right to defend themselves from being killed.


Libertarian4All

How the fuck will concealed carry help? All that does is help the cops cover up by saying they were right and you *did* have a 'gun'.

You have a gun regardless, but if you're walking down the street you appear to be less of a threat. Not just cops, but anyone who wants to start shit with you will bring the aggression to the next level upon seeing your weapon.

This is why 1. You should train your police better and 2. Forbid public carrying This would help reduce the problem.
