I was up in Maine last summer, I noticed a few men open carrying handguns (holstered) and I didn't use it as an opportunity to dine and dash or run out of the store with items that I hadn't purchased.

In parts of our country, it is a rather common practice.

Please try to stay on topic.

Do you have any comments on the actual topic of this thread?

The poster was explaining to you that your actions would be considered criminal unlike open carry in most states.

I could understand if you mentioned this once or twice in passing. But you regularly post about using gun sightings as an opportunity to legitimize petty theft. It comes across like you are trying to rationalize kleptomania.

Why do you think it's acceptable to steal if you see someone carrying a firearm in accordance with state law? I'm just trying to understand the reasoning behind these posts.

...I have no idea what Skittles are, I have no idea who eats Skittles.

I assume it's a candy, due to the color of the label shown (the rainbow color) and that it is referred to as 'a box of Skittles.'

Do persons of certain ethnic backgrounds like Skittles?

Do people who are anti-gun like Skittles?

Do shoplifters like Skittles?

What the heck is a Skittle and what is the significance of Skittles?

That was quick but not surprising. What is it with you and racism?

Simple question again, do you think I am a racist?

When I blocked you and reported you to Skinner. You are the one that sent me the first unwanted PM and responded even though in every one of mine, I kindly asked you to stop.

I NEVER sent you unsolicited DU mails, all I did was respond to yours that you sent me. I asked you to stop and you would not.

For everyone to see, here is the DU mail exchange YOU started with me that was not solicited by me, that SIR is HARRASSMENT

Yep, please just answer the question, lol

it wouldn't be long before everyone was open carrying.



I'm waiting for free day.....I think I'll head down to Bass Pro and carry a transcript of this forum as proof it's acceptable.

I'll finally have that basket full of KVD square bills I've always dreamed of.


They may even have skittles by the front registers for me to grab as I'm fleeing for my life.

...several threads ago - on the same topic - that I would come in to a restaurant open carrying...

...just as he was finishing dinner....

And he could get the meal for free.

He did not think it was funny.

So yes, if you take them without paying its theft. If you want to leave the store, put the skittles down and leave. Nothing wrong with that.

Out of all the colors of skittles, the red skittles, and purple skittles are the only skittles I care for. Toss out the Green skittles and yellow skittles those skittles suck ass.


Skittles is the new Thug.....

make kids scrunch up their faces?

...I have no freaking clue about skittles or any imagined meaning they may have, but I DO know a few things about people of color and firearms

Stoney, what is YOUR position about people of color arming themselves?

Based on your extensive insights into "gun culture" I bet. That's about as valid as your other "insights".

Or just trying to create a new imaginary meme that you hope to hell will give you some kind of credibility?

So Skittles in racist now? TV seems to be full of "racist" commercials according to you, alert the networks!

Why not Ice Tea too, as long as you're pulling stuff out of your nether regions?

Despite your attempts to paint it as such, "Skittles" is not a racist dog whistle. The silly name makes it convenient to use as an example of someone making an innocent and innocuous purchase. I think this is why so many fastened onto it in the Trayvon Martin case: "He was just going out for a bag of Skittles."

The night he was killed, Trayvon Martin was buying Skittles.

Then I think we should change the hypothetical product you would not pay for to something else...

...anything else.

Out of respect. I'm serious.

Except it's not me, it's stone space who's claiming "Skittles" was chosen for racist reasons.

I know. No one in particular, all contributors to this forum.

We should all switch over to use a generic product with no implications for an actual incident.
