Man practicing open carry law robbed of gun
Gresham man robbed of gun he was openly carrying

GRESHAM, Ore. (KOIN 6) — A man practicing his open carry right was robbed of the gun he was openly carrying.

William Coleman III was robbed of his Walter- brand P22 just after 2:00 a.m. October 4 in Gresham by a young man who asked him for it — and flashed his own weapon as persuasion.

Coleman, 21, was talking to his cousin in the 17200 block of NE Glisan St., after purchasing the handgun earlier that day, when a young man asked him for a cigarette, police said.

The man then asked about the gun, pulled a gun from his own waistband and said “”I like your gun. Give it to me.”

2. That can't be. Carrying a gun protects you from robbers.

It doesn't make you a target, and even if it did, you'd be able to defend yourself. (Do I really need the sarcasm smiley for this?)

9. So now....

... does the good guy or the bad guy have two guns? Help me understand Wayne La Peterhead. Or perhaps one of his internet lackeys.

10. As The Saying Goes, Ma'am

"There are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous men."

Possessing the weapon does nothing to 'keep you safe'....

11. Clearly this is a NRA plot to increase gun sales.

The robbery victim will need to get two. One for open carry and a concealed backup gun.

Them NRA are always doing something to sell more GUNZ.

Ban teh Gunz!!!1!
