    Makes you wonder what the biz owner actually could have done to prevent this. I'm sure there are steps/measures, but you have to wonder how practical they really are. It said the police and upper management warned him, but I wonder what they wanted him to do exactly? Glad I'm not in that business...

    Yup, how I envisioned the face of open carry support. Congrats.

    We get it, you are desperately trying to turn a gang war into a political statement about open carry....you can stop now. This isn't the D&D, make a thread about it there if you want to have a political argument.

    Anti's will not be able to comprehend the difference between open carry, chl, and illegally carrying. Why waste your energy.

    Yes because people who support gun control are stupid whereas gun owners are intelligent. Please conserve your thinking-energy.

    You're barking up the wrong tree. I support gun control, don't agree with the concept of open carry, have had a CHL for at least 7 years, and can clearly see the agenda Ziggy is pushing.

    I can't wait to see how many of these thugs were LEGALLY carrying in the first place.

    192 are under arrest? How bad are these bikers at using firearms exactly?

    9/201 = 4.5%

    I would definitely hack-a-biker in a fight if I knew this was their shooting percentage.

    I don't know Ziggy's main point here.... but I think it's pretty safe to say that open carry would not have *improved* this situation.

    Nope, these guys need mental help and rehabilitation. They probably endured rough childhoods to lead them down this path.

    You can't really assume all 192 had firearms and were lighting the place up. It'd be easier to say how many casings were found vs GSW deaths.

    You would probably have to operate it like strip clubs - hire security, enforce a dress code, use a metal detector, etc. - which I'm sure these businesses don't want to be grouped with.

    But if that's the clientele that you're attracting then that's what you've got to do.

    Fun fact. One of those mugshots is of a women. You likely can't guess which one.
