Armed Open Carry Activist Walks Outside Nashville High School Wearing Bulletproof Vest
Outside of Hillsboro High School in Nashville, an Open Carry activist was spotted walking around with a bulletproof vest on Wednesday, hanging flyers which referred to his rights not being infringed upon. It’s almost as if these activists have no memory of the Columbine High School shootings in which 13 people were killed and more than 20 were wounded.
Or the Sandy Hook massacre. Perhaps they remember, but they just have no respect for others.
[su_center_ad]Just because you have the right, does not mean you should make others uncomfortable while abusing that right.
Because then, you’re taking away our right to feel safe.
Yet somehow these activists feel they’ve earned respect from the rest of us who do remember the tragedy of the recent school shootings. Naturally, this activist felt compelled to go to the high school fully armed while wearing a bulletproof vest.
Big thanks to my tipster, who shall remain anonymous here.

I wouldn’t feel very “secure in my person” with that crazy gun fetishist roaming around just looking for a fight.
Leonard Embody September 17th, 2014 at 7:38 pm
So, he was “looking for a fight”? How did you reach that conclusion? Was it because he handed out leaflets?
Roctuna September 17th, 2014 at 7:50 pm
Because you don’t go out with your external penis of death, in body armor, unless you expect someone to shoot at you. That’s how I reached that conclusion! How obvious does it have to be?
Leonard Embody September 17th, 2014 at 7:54 pm
Cops and security guards wear body armor daily. Are they “looking for a fight”? Often politicians and others wear it as well.
Roctuna September 17th, 2014 at 7:59 pm
A security guard who wears body armor is living a fantasy. Cops expect to be shot at. Pols might, depending on the situation. Besides, this asshat is neither a cop, a guard, or politician on duty.
Leonard Embody September 17th, 2014 at 8:04 pm
You argue that passive safety devices should not be worn by law abiding persons?
Jimmy Smith September 17th, 2014 at 8:13 pm
Are you arguing that “passive safety devices” … AKA bullet proof vests … are not provocative, especially when one wears one while holding a rifle and walking around a school?
Would you feel safe if your child was in this school?
Leonard Embody September 17th, 2014 at 8:24 pm
He wasn’t “holding” a rifle. Look at the picture, it was slung on his back. So, safety devices are “provocative”?
whatthe46 September 17th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
Darrien Hunt sword on back…
Jimmy Smith September 17th, 2014 at 9:30 pm
At this particular instant in time – do you have any proof that he was never holding his rifle at any time during his time around the school?
Since when has a bullet proof vest been a safety device for a civilian in a non conflict zone? Do you really believe that this school is a conflict zone or requires a person to wear a bullet proof vest? Would a “reasonable man” believe that wearing a bullet proof vest and carrying a rifle around a school is not a provocative move?
Leonard Embody September 17th, 2014 at 10:04 pm
The cops have pointed guns at me in the past, so that is my justification for wearing body armor. I video everything, and at no time did I touch the rifle or pistol.
Jimmy Smith September 17th, 2014 at 10:09 pm
Have you ever wondered about the things that you are doing that would make police point weapons at you?
Have you ever thought that a “reasonable man”, seeing someone with a pistol or rifle, walking around with a bullet proof vest may be a threat, especially around children and call police who would respond as you have noted?
tracey marie September 17th, 2014 at 10:32 pm

Armed open carry gun nuts were nearly shot on the border for displaying a similar ignorance. Not many will cry when the police respond to the many Nashville and other Tennessee gun murders. Normal activists aren’t compelled to scare schoolkids, just #GOPKochAddicts. There aren’t any open carry gun nuts here in NYC!
Scare kids because they’re afraid you’l shoot at people, or save humanity? On Sunday September 21 The People’s Climate March is an invitation to change everything. World leaders are coming to New York City for a UN summit on the climate crisis.

Dangerous because I open carry a rifle, wear a body armor, and hand out leaflets? I’ve been open carrying for years.

Dangerous because when a guy is so out of touch with reality that they do crazy jerkwad things–talk to parking meters, carry around guns, chain saws, or road kill, wear body armor or clown suits, or preach the End Times or 2nd Amendment, there’s no predicting what the stupid mook might do next, and it’s best to stay the hell away from him.

“Dangerous because I open carry a rifle, wear a body armor, and hand out leaflets? I’ve been open carrying for years.” hahaha Good luck with the leaflets! We will just continue getting you banned from just about EVERY public place… until all you have left is your backyard or living room… and we will work on that as well… Peace

I know enough about Leonard to know that that’s most likely true.
Leonard Embody September 18th, 2014 at 4:27 pm
I spoke with a large group of kids at the bus stop. I handed out a lot of leaflets and they didn’t seem scared at all. In any case an irrational fear of guns is a mental issue. I would suggest those who “feel” scared to contact a mental health professional and work out their issues.
Carla Akins September 18th, 2014 at 4:29 pm
So we should never be concerned when we see someone carrying a long gun in public? A movie theater, school, community gathering? When should we be fearful – after they start shooting? Please enlighten me.
Leonard Embody September 18th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
When someone has a long gun slung on their shoulder? Concern, possibly. Fear, no. When somebody has a firearm in their hand and is shooting people? I would say concern and fear. The best way to protect yourself in an active shooter situation is seek cover and protect yourself by returning fire if they are shooting at you.
Carla Akins September 18th, 2014 at 4:43 pm
Right….because killing innocent people in the crossfire is a good idea. Forgive me, but I don’t know or trust you as I see you walking down the street. My job is to keep myself and my family safe – and all I see is a grown man that finds it necessary to not only carry, but display a gun in public walking down the sidewalk. I have walked down sidewalks for more than 50 years and can find no possible legitimate reason to need that gun. This tells me your only purpose is self-serving narcissism and deep-seated need to intimidate those around you. I can only assume you lack the social skills needed to maneuver your way through life successfully. I don’t believe in banning guns, but I do believe in responsible ownership and nothing about your little walk-about inspires in any faith in your intentions or mental health.
Blogvader September 18th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
Furthermore, as they teach in the mandatory Missouri Hunter Safety course, one has to be mindful of where their bullet is going. People have been shot ‘accidentally’ miles away from where a bullet was discharged, and I’d wager one of these twitchy, paranoid gun worshipers isn’t likely to give that fact enough consideration.
Leonard Embody September 18th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
I lack social skills and have a small penis, but you still can’t stop me from bearing arms. Lol
Carla Akins September 18th, 2014 at 5:39 pm
I never made the penis remark or even alluded to the reference. I could care less about your dick, I do care that you’re clearly a sociopath that should be prevented from owning guns, operate machinery or work around children. It’s a shame you’re missing so many wonderful things in life due to your lack of empathy and inability to interact with others. One day you will regret that this ridiculous fascination was more important than people.

So we should just assume that, of everyone we see walking around with a gun openly displayed? That they’re all ‘good guys with a gun’, just out for a stroll, exercising a right? Is that your goal here? To enable the ‘bad guy with a gun’ by making open carry so commonplace that they can do it with impunity, without fear of reprisal?
You’re a sociopath. And clearly you have serious mental issues. Please seek help before you get hurt or you hurt someone.
Um Cara September 18th, 2014 at 6:01 pm
Leonard,
There was a time, not very long ago, when I was at odds with the majority of my fellow liberals regarding guns. I believed there should be almost no restrictions, machine guns, silencers, whatever.
Folks like yourself have convinced me the second amendment must be repealed. Not because I really believe it gives citizens the right to shoot cops, soldiers, etc… if they think they are ‘out of control’, but rather because there seems to be so many who do believe that. Now we have folks like yourself who think it gives you the right to patrol elementary schools. I’m guessing you will change some additional people’s opinion on the second.
Repeal it, replace it w/ something allowing firearms to be stored at shooting/hunting clubs under the regulation/supervision of either local or federal law enforcement authorities. Require ammunition to be checked out & accounted for.
That’s the effect folks like yourself have had on a previously very pro gun lib. Carry on…
tiredoftea September 18th, 2014 at 7:26 pm
Interesting post. There is no need to repeal the 2nd to require the restrictions you suggest. Which I agree with, BTW. The argument is a political one and the gun fetishists are winning, but they have brought the attention to themselves and most is not sympathetic to their lunatic ideas. The politics will change back and we will reclaim the 2nd in its fullest meaning. The Leonard’s of the world can go back to their closets and sniff gun oil.

tiredoftea September 18th, 2014 at 8:46 pm
Nope, sorry. Your, and other gun fetishist, strident position aside, the 2nd clearly, historically and contextually is in reference to a state controlled militia. The NRA and other single issue zealot groups have perverted it, so far. That will not last and the 2nd will be restored, in practice, to its full meaning.
Enjoy your lonely marches with your old gun. Impotence takes all forms.

No, your intent was to terrorize parents and students. If you wanted to exercise your rights you could have chosen any number of places, but you chose a place which would elicit the most emotional response, because you’re a douchebag.

Then you’re a complete idiot.

Lenny you are an idiot. You do nothing to benefit lawful gun owners. In my opinion and the opinion of many other’s you are out fishing for some reason to file a lawsuit against someone for financial gain.
Leonard Embody September 20th, 2014 at 8:45 am
You may have an opinion, but it is not correct.

every amendment refers to individuals, militia is basically every male in the population. All of us are in the militia as individuals
Leonard Embody September 20th, 2014 at 8:44 am
That is not true, the militia is comprised of certain aged males.

What a crock of shit.

Thankfully Canada doesn’t have nutjobs like this parading around.

Wonder why he skipped the first four words of the Second Amendment: “A well regulated militia…..”
Chromehorn13 September 19th, 2014 at 10:26 am
well regulated, in the day the amendment was written referred to being practiced and skilled in use of the weapon.
Brett Tulloss September 19th, 2014 at 9:01 pm
That’s fine. When do they practice? Most of these OC nuts have no skill with the weapon they are parading with. And these weapons are loaded.
Leonard Embody September 20th, 2014 at 8:43 am
How do you know how much skill I have with the firearm I carry?
Brett Tulloss September 20th, 2014 at 5:44 pm
I don’t Leonard. But notice I didn’t say ALL, I said MOST. I’d say I can out shoot 60 percent of the Open Carry activist and it’s been 20 years since I’ve fired a gun.

“A well regulated MILITIA…”
Let’s hear your eighteenth century definition of a well regulated militia…

He’s in one of the nicest areas of the city, let’s see you “freedoming” all over Stratford, Maplewood, or HillwoodHe’s in one of the nicest areas of the city, let’s see you “freedoming” all over Stratford, Maplewood, or Hillwood

Of course we all know what would have happened if he had happened to be black. Freedom isn’t free. You have to be born into it.

Why not the whole amendment … the part about a well regulated militia.
