Interesting night in Raleigh...and why restaurant/bar carry should be legal.

I've had 3 incidents with firearms, all in the 90's. Mexican with a pistol in Rural Hall that refused to leave after his firearm was spotted in '92. Two times in '94 in High Point. One was a guy got into a verbal altercation with the Italian's from the local pizza place (I know they were carrying) over a chair. As I spotted the altercation and headed in that direction the guy, who was seated reached into his leather jacket and produced a S&W revolver. I grabbed the barrel and spun the muzzle to his chest as I took him to the ground. Third one where a firearm was involved was escorting a intoxicated subject from the club to the door. He walked outside and as we turned to go back inside he re-entered the door and shot the manager in the shoulder blade and ran.

I considered all these people to be LAC's till they were not.

What sane person would hand a loaded weapon registered in their name to a stranger? Would you? Next open carry event we attend together let me hold your GLOCK (I believe that is what you were carrying last time) for you.

sorry, been out of town a few days

if these individuals were LAC, how could they have been carrying in a restaurant (that serves alcohol) in the first place? wouldn't that have made them law breakers? i think real LACs are good to have armed, one might just save your life one day.

were you referencing me? i would not have a Glock, they are fine for those that like them, but i would not . you really shouldn't suggest that there are registered guns in NC, it makes you look like you don't know what you are talking about.

I guess registered wouldn't be the correct word but rather associated. If you have ever bought a new or used gun from a FFL you are directly associated to that serial #. 8 years ago I bought a pistol from LGS. Ended up selling it privately. 2 yeas ago I get contacted by the FBI about it. It ended up being seized from a gentleman trafficking prescription narcotics from Florida to North Carolina. They were very curious to know how he came into possession of my firearm.

You have not replied to requests for clarification on this issue.

Waiting.

I am unaware of any such requests. Maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Perfect example of avoidance and manipulation. You do not include or acknowledge the quote to which I made reference - requoted and highlighted for your convenience. At the least such is irresponsible - at the worst it is a deliberate rule violation.

...snip... I didn't drink too much as I was driving...snip

Well that showed good judgement, since you were going to drive you didn't get plastered, besides how can just a little hurt? So next time you can drink a little bit more, then a little bit more, cause you can handle it and nothing bad will happen.
