Councilam Walks Out of Meeting
 

This is really worth watching even though it is about 9 minutes, and you have to sorta watch the whole thing.

The councilman walks out when he discovers that one of the people speaking has a conceal carry permit and is carrying. The Mayor is a hero in my opinion.

Just had to post this picture, even though it could have gone into ANY gun thread.

This is for YOU Cindy!

I watched it all and was very proud of that mayor. He stayed cool, calm and collected but made it clear how wrong and absurd the two yoyo's were that actually got up and left because they didn't want to be in the same room with a Veteran of Irag or Afghanistan who had a carry permit and a concealed weapon.

Washington is known for its left wing hippie mentality and I would bet you those two council members are tree huggers who probably chained themself to a tree or two during their heyday.

The moron who walked out could do ONE thing which would earn instant respect: He could post a sign on his front lawn proudly declaring his anti-gun stance and the fact that his home is a gun free establishment.

I'm so proud of the mayor and council members who stayed firm and defended the citizen's right to keep his weapon! Awesome!!!! :)

This mayor really did make me proud.

Yep, and remember Texas is just one of the states that stands between them, and all the guns they sent to the Mexican drug cartels.

My internet is so slow, I can't watch this, but I'm amazed by the stupidity of people and the gun control laws they are trying to bring in.

I'm afraid our country is headed for a bloody conflict though, between the two opposing sides.

RW's cartoon is funny... but really, it is truth, and it will be a blood bath should it ever come down to this.

Here in the state I live in, any person who has served in the military can carry concealed just by taking their DD214 down to the local Sheriff's office, and they are given a permit to carry. I can carry a gun anywhere I want, (except where signs say prohibited) as long as the gun is NOT concealed.

You go to Walmart here... and there are hot packs everywhere. Everyone we know here packs heat most anywhere they go.

It will be a blood bath here too should the government try to come to this state to try and take people's guns.

Our local sheriff has already spoken out and said he will not follow the federal government's mandates about gun control.

Our good Sheriff Joe just made a statement yesterday that he will not enforce any gun confiscation OR magazine limits.

Short rundown of the video content:

A young war veteran makes a statement to the council members at the meeting and includes that he has a concealed carry permit. One of the councilman asks him if he's currently carrying a weapon, and the Mayor interrupts and asks the city attorney if they need to even ask that question. He reminds the councilman that they are there to take questions from the community--not to question the community members. The young man, however, says he doesn't mind answering and confirms that he is carrying a weapon at the moment.

The councilman then makes a motion that guns must be checked at the door of the council chamber and asks for a second (which he gets). The Mayor puts it to a vote and the majority vote against the motion, so the councilman gets up and leaves the chamber. The mayor then apologizes to the young man--not only for the harassment about his weapon, but also that he was not allowed to wear his hat in the chamber, by reason of imposition by the same councilman. He also turns back to the city attorney and asks if such a motion were passed if it would be legally enforceable; the answer is no.

The mayor comments that he feels safer because of the young veteran's presence and that if there's going to be a threat against anyone's life, it won't be from the "likes of you."

Good summary. :)

Re: Councilam Walks Out of Meeting
 

Thanks! :)

I loved that video. I'm about to go play it for my mother. The mayor is so impressively steely and nonplussed by the pressure from the other councilman.

Re: Councilam Walks Out of Meeting
 

I am curious as to whether or not the councilman who walked out has a CLUE how childish he is acting. My guess is probably not.

Re: Councilam Walks Out of Meeting
 

Awesome Video! The counselman that walked out reminded me of a spoiled crybaby brat ! http://freeemoticonsandsmileys.com/3...eys/crying.gif

Kudos to the maturity that remained !!!

Watched it! I hope that when "Mr. Baldy" runs for office again that his voters walk out on him! Have several negative thoughts about him but I best keep them to myself. Thought the Mayor was awesome.
