I hope the 2nd charge thing is false...
The government makes a citizen obtain a PERMIT to exercise their 2nd highest Constitutional right, then CHARGES them with a crime when the citizen doesn't TELL the Government they were EXERCISING one of their Constitutional Rights! Welcome to the Brave New World...

Do many Apple customers walk around with iGuns? Isn't that risky, given that iPhones are annoyingly fragile and are on a shitty network, aren't some of these "clever cool gunnies" going to lose their temper and just start shooting?

I was at a water park in the USA, in Disney. The security guard had a pair of hand guns. FFS, I've never been to any other country where a security guard at a water park had 2 guns. This is something Disney didn't tell us in their brochure, lol.

Just what could possibly happen at a Disney water park that would need the security guards to start shooting with both guns?

Only in America, the home of the brave, the paranoid, the insane, and all of them able to carry guns.

The NRA has an app for that.

In our neck of the woods, a candidate for adjutant general (The adjutant general runs the Army and Air National Guard, the State Guard and the Emergency Management Division) launched his campaign by raffling off an AK-47 assault rifle away at a "machine gun social" for political contributors. The cost was $25, for which you could eat barbecue and shoot a clip of bullets from your choice of automatic weapons. It's nice to see you still get bang for your buck.

People showing up at National Healthcare townhall meetings, brandishing their assault weapons. Where do we live? Afghanistan?

Oh, and the deluge of solicitations for my contributions accompanied in faux "alarmist" surveys fill my rubbish bin.

All it took in the Deer Hunter was one shot, innit?

You obviously cannot read plain English, and it frightens me that you probably drive a car and can vote.

Using your reasoning, the 1st Amendment only applies free speech to when you are "petitioning the govt for redress of grievances".

I'll suggest you review your middle school English lessons and figure out the "what" and the "why" of the Bill of Rights (or privileges at govt discretion) so you don't look like such an absolute idiot when you talk or scribble.

Conceal and carry does not mean that you don't have to tell police that you are armed. You also have to show them your permit. You do not get to make remarks about shooting phones or people (unless you are threatened with bodily harm by people). This guy will probably lose his permit to carry as he is an idiot.

The 2nd Amendment says that USA must have an armed Militia (to defeat the regular armed forces and/or kill the president, if necessary).

I know there's also an added footnote that the US government (at the time of writing) can't afford to fund such a militia (the National Guard), and therefore must let the citizens buy their own firearms.
That footnote is obviously now defunct, or the NG would be unconstitutional!

Bet the NRA leadership gets their asses over their backs over this one and threatens to boycott Apple over this. I am an NRA member and have a CCW, and even I recognise that rights have responsibilities, folks. One of the responsibilities of CCW is not to go waving it around or showing it off. Another is to not use or threaten to use the weapon in such a way that the use would endanger others. People like this give those of us who exercise our rights responsibly a bad name.

I'm licensed in several classes of weaponry, but there is one simple rule we all should always remember... in the USofA anyway.

"Brandish your weapon; go to jail".

It's just that simple, and this moron should not only go to jail, he should be fined and his license revoked for all eternity.

I think his glands need to be removed to to prevent his particular brand of gene pool pollution, but that might be a bit much. Might not though.

Under Ohio State's code 2923.12 (Carrying CCW):

(B) No person who has been issued a license...shall:

1)...Fail to promptly inform any law enforcement officer who approaches the person ...that the person has been issued a license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun and that the person then is carrying a concealed handgun

(F)(2)...If the person is not able to promptly produce any of those types of license...the officer may arrest the person for a violation of that division

It's all about respecting our rights, not treating them like their owed to us. This guy should have never shown it in the first place, as that in itself can be taken as a threat as it wasn't defensive at that point or for protecting himself. It was purely in an offensive manner.

You got a gun? Don't pull it on people, or tell them you're going to. That's just dumb.

Telling someone your going to shoot something and revealing your (no longer concealed) weapon probably is not legal.

That's why it's called a "Carrying a Concealed Weapon" CCW, permit. You can't show it to people. I'm pretty sure shooting an iphone in a store is dangerous to the staff. I support CCW's, but this guy need to have his revoked and face the legal consequences.

Grocer's* apostrope's* in the headlines, now? Blimey, the Inqs* gone downhill.

Its* a bloody embarrassment.

(* Deliberate, unlike the author's one)

if he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, he has no obligation to tell a pig about it. stupid cops, i swear they are all retards.
