Isn't firearm also present when someone conceals? Do you have specific case in mind where the mere presence of such an evil implement resulted in aggravated assault charge?earlwb wrote:Some of these studies do seem to show an increase in aggressiveness with a firearm present. The recent TV series "Through the WormHole" with Morgan Freeman had a episode discussing some of this. The Episode 4 series 8 "Is gun crime a virus"? I think that it seems to affect those people with a liberal mindset much more than those with a conservative mindset. It is almost like a trigger got pulled with aggressiveness if a liberal sees a gun. I would like to see studies done with liberals separate from conservatives and maybe even in more detail, such as with race and different religious affiliations based on liberal versus conservative too. I think that would be most enlightening. Unfortunately I think that most of these studies are funded by the anti-2a billionaires looking to increase their power over people. We don't know if any studies were suppressed because the ones with the money didn't like the results.
One thought on open carry is that the firearm, being present, can easily result in it being considered "aggravated assault", depending on the circumstances. If two people get into a argument and one has a gun shown, it could quickly wind up being an aggravated assault even if the owner never touches the gun. Or the person touches the gun in a menacing manner.
Specifically, two people got into an argument, one had a gun, never touched it, and he/she ended up charged with aggravated assault.
Oh, what is the legal classification for touching the gun in "menacing manner"? If it's on me, isn't the gun always touching me.
It's not my fault, it's guns fault for touching me, I never touched it.
Just want to be sure I'm covered.
