We were recently graced with such a pic. Behold.
This gunslinger, spotted walking out of a store with three guns on his waist and wearing a shirt that reads "Due To The High Cost Of Ammo, Do Not Expect A Warning Shot," caught the interest of the internet recently — and yeah, it was basically the whole internet as the pic was shared around social media platforms.
The @thoughtsofcop account shared the pic, saying "Someone come get their dad." Folks started riffing from there, with comments about the keys in his hands and his purchase, and most could agree that it was a bit of overkill to take so many guns shopping.
"I understand you need to be prepared, but that is a little excessive even for Walmart," wrote @eglesnestof3.
But really, the attitude behind it all was what most folks responded to.
Country singer Steve Brack also posted it on his Facebook, saying "Damn dude, save some of that Second Amendment for the rest of us."
And again, the psychology behind the need to carry three handguns to go shopping really had folks theorizing.
One person imagined an inner monologue saying "God somebody please notice my guns. Please please ask me about them. Mention them to me pretty please I desperately need to talk to them to somebody now. NOTICE THEM!!!!"
"It is truly tragic that we have not advanced past the 17th century ammunition capacity-wise and that this poor hero-in-waiting must shoulder the burden of so many firearms, that he may protect us all from the roaming ISIS-Mexicans terrorizing this great nation," wrote another person, suggesting that maybe this guy has hero fantasies. "Surely his weird inflexibility and clamorous gait are but a small price for the security of our homeland."
"This guy is what makes gun owners look bad," another person agreed.
"Imagine being 6'3" or whatever this dude is and being so terrified of going to the store to buy your ground chuck and frozen pizzas or whatever that you have to gear up for war just to make it through the day," someone wrote. "Great job man, you really showed those guys working in the produce section that you are nothing to f*** with."
Is this guy carrying too many handguns even for open carry? Is he overdoing it a bit?
Let us know!
