Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.

Re: Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.

The terms in your definition are the correct ones. Display being the key one. Some of those lawmakers need to testify they were afraid for their lives and safety due to the action of some of the protesters displaying weapons. I have no doubt they would be telling the truth. We know police officers have forever gotten away with shooting unarmed people by testifying they were in fear for their safety. In fact, that claim is even true sometimes and someone like me (who rarely thinks cops act well) believes they acted appropriately in discharging their firearm. These people were not displaying the semi automatic rifles because they just happened to have them on hand. Many things in the law are perception, and this is one of those things. I think it is worth pursuing. I'm willing to bet most probably don't agree with me, even some who have even more progressive views about gun control than I currently have.

My non-lawyer thinking would be if it is just on their back, I wouldn't consider it brandishing. But, for the ones carrying it on their chest with a hand on the grip, it absolutely is. The "display in a threatening manner" is likely there to cover someone who is appendix carrying and lifts their shirt to show someone they have a firearm during some sort of argument.

One reason I think open carry should be banned. Less room for interpretation...

Probability question that I have forgotten how to do.

p - population of marbles
r - number of removed marbles
t - mean number of touches for a marble
k - number of marbles that have touched a removed marble

Characterize f(p, r, t, k)

Characterize g(p, r, t) when k/p > .5

I think if we assume r is distributed evenly through p then we can restate the problem as:

d - ratio of removed marbles over all marbles
s - ratio of touches for a marble over all marbles
b - ratio of marbles that have touched a removed marble over all marbles

Characterize f(d, t, b)

Characterize g(d, t) when b > .5

p - population
r - removal
t - touch
k - knowing
d - death
s - sociability
b - bereavement

You have probably lost yours.

My feelings are shifting from mild sympathy because of their ignorance (stupidity?) to a more unnerving feeling of “bring it on” as your rights end when my or my family’s life is threatened by your behavior.

This.could.be.bad.

The only problem is that they are going to take a lot of us with them along the way.

Can't believe the number of M*******s I'm seeing out and about in my town. And its gonna get worse as the weather gets better.

I lost my marbles the first time I saw Elsa Rosaro on a swing set in the fifth grade.

Local law enforcement and federal know about this. A top cop neighbor of mine told me that the briefings they received from the feds scared the **** out of them when it came to white radicals. it’s going to be the biggest cause for concern in the next ten years.

First test of our ability to combat these loons comes in the aftermath of a Dump loss this November.

Absolute irony today as one of my dads duuurrrrr cousins shared a FB meme about “we can’t allow voting by mail, share if you agree!!”

And then his own mother commented that she has been voting by mail and needs to continue

Dr. Birx says they're now targeting 100,000 to 240,000 deaths. That's right, they're okay with having 240,000 dying.

Whatever the final number is they will say it's one half of what everyone predicted so they deserve a cookie.

trump is so stupid he moves the goal posts back and forth instead of just in one direction. Fortunately for trump, 90% of the people who voted for him are just as stupid and don't notice it. The other 10% don't care because they are hypocrites (and/or plain evil).

And still did nothing. Amazing.

My non-lawyer thinking would be if it is just on their back, I wouldn't consider it brandishing. But, for the ones carrying it on their chest with a hand on the grip, it absolutely is. The "display in a threatening manner" is likely there to cover someone who is appendix carrying and lifts their shirt to show someone they have a firearm during some sort of argument.

One reason I think open carry should be banned. Less room for interpretation...

I do not think the phrase "display in a threatening manner" is intended to be limited to something like lifting my shirt to show I have a gun stuffed into the waist of my pants. If it was, it would need further specificity, such as "revealing a lawfully concealed firearm in such a manner to induce fear..."

I agree about banning open carry in most cases. I've never personally met anyone with a concealed carry permit that worried me but I have never yet met a person who open carries in the manner of the recent Michigan protesters who wasn't a complete and total richard head.

This is MNS' point, and that is brandishing, IMO.

Both instances are meant to intimidate. One is just a lot more "subtle" about it.
