Rep. Ralph Norman R. S.C. Pulls Loaded Firearm In A Restaurant

1
CNN Reports that,
Republican Rep. Ralph Norman pulled out his loaded, personal .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun Friday and laid it on the table at a diner where he was meeting with his constituents in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Norman told CNN he wanted to make a point in the debate over gun violence.
That's one hell of a point. If I did something like that I'd be locked up for a long time and lose all my constitutional rights.

They believe they are special and don’t have to behave like normal people would behave. Their Beloved Orange Leader sets the example.

I haven’t seen any article that said Moore conceded. Maybe he is waiting for a sign from God that he really won.

I was thinking more along the lines that maybe a mule kicked him in the head as a child or something...

Most politicians are either idiots, imbeciles, or morons. Most of the rest are crooks as well, and a very, very, VERY few are honest AND intelligent--just don't ask me to name one!

That's how I feel. His actions were showy and off putting, but his point is quite correct. He could have made the same point, though, by simply stating that he was carrying without pulling the gun out.

Object lessons work better when people can see the object. Ideally he would have warned everyone present before safely removing his holster and placing it on the table pointing it in a safe direction, or if a safe direction wasn't there, by asking people to move so there would be one.
