"You won't be attacked"
This[1] young girl would disagree with you, as would this[2] man.
Also committed while in police custody, not necessarily in stations, bur certainly where you could also reasonably try and claim "you won't be attacked": [3], [4]

It's incredibly ignorant to make out like someone visiting a police station will magically be fine, because the police are the "good guy with a gun" in your scenario.
As for going into the station, it doesn't matter whether GP is "principled" or not, (a) they're allowed to carry, and (b) a car is not a holster.
If GP had been concealed-carrying you wouldn't have had any argument, you're trying to criticize open-carry as if there are only certain situations where it's acceptable.
If GP is legal to open-carry, they can do so wherever they like, providing particular legislation or bylaws don't prevent it.
Not sure why you're deepthroating the boot, but happening to be (legally) armed while making a regular request, is not a reason to be treated suspiciously by police.
- StrictDabbler 3y agoThese are attacks on people in custody. How is that remotely relevant? None of these people had the opportunity to open carry a gun when those attacks happened. Regardless, I am not saying he should not be allowed to do it. It's not boot-licking. I am wondering, practically, about the motivation. Drawing a gun in a police station is a death warrant. Even looking like you're going to pull it could get you shot or arrested. I don't normally go around wearing something on my belt that could get me killed if I move my hand near it. I would only do so for a very good reason. So I'm looking for a better reason than "because I can". I don't see one in your response.
