It's just a straw man argument. Both the antis and the pros use that fallacy-based technique freely. Easy to spot."We hope everyone who now wants to openly carry a gun ask themselves: Do I really have a right to intimidate my fellow citizens, by openly displaying my weapon in this way?"
Wow, is this question laden with anti-gun liberal agenda or what?
it sounds as if that police chief has some serious issues with the people who choose to exercise their Constitutionally protected rights...Nitrox314 wrote:It's just a straw man argument.

Communities are precluded from having gun laws tougher than the state, which means the 1995 state law that wiped out 35 local ordinances would have to be repealed.
We urge the Legislature to do so and give communities the ability to set their own laws on where people can openly carry.
it would be nice to see 10-15 people gathered in Milwaukee to demonstrate that law abiding people are NOT the enemies of the state as this criminal police chief would have everyone believe.
if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we’ll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have theright to carry it

FYI Chief Flynn, that decision was made over 200 years ago and is covered by the second ammendment of the Constitution of the United States.
The last I heard it aint up to Police Chiefs to decide whether or not people have rights.
When is the last time a gunman walked around openly carrying his gun? They don't!Plus, all the recent stories about shooting are exactly why we all SHOULD carry a gun around.Still, there's a good reason to not walk around town with a rifle slung over your shoulder, or a handgun strapped at your side in a holster like a gunslinger: The mere sight of it will frighten other people who may believe that the "gunman" is about to start shooting innocent bystanders, or is about to walk into a building to slay former co-workers.

Should have read:"We hope everyone who now wants to openly carry a gun ask themselves: Do I really have a right to intimidate my fellow citizens, by openly displaying my weapon in this way?"

Finally, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNREASONABLE FEARS OF SHEEPLE! IF they can't deal with my LAWFUL possesion and carry of my lawfully owned and carried firearms that is their problem!
By this logic LEOs are intimidating people whenever they are on duty. I don't think that the chief would say that, though. I would hope he would say "These people who OC are simply carrying like my officers do while on duty" but then again he is a tool who shows he cannot uphold the state constitution."We hope everyone who now wants to openly carry a gun ask themselves: Do I really have a right to intimidate my fellow citizens, by openly displaying my weapon in this way?"
