A video taken by a high school student shows Indiana state Rep. Jim Lucas flash a holstered gun to students who were visiting the statehouse to talk to lawmakers about gun control
I’m entirely failing to see the “wrong” in demonstrating that he himself carries a weapon when asked about carrying a weapon.
And you probably never will.
Do you know the trope of a mob boss placing his gun on his desk? What’s wrong with that? It’s definitely not a threat, right? (sarcasm)
If he’s CC he should want it concealed I would assume. What’s the point of flashing it? It’s to show the people (who he doesn’t like and disagrees with, as well as those other people who hear about his actions later) what he’s got. Why? What does it do to further his argument? What does he gain? Consider the reasons why someone would choose to unconceal their firearm. It shouldn’t be a fashion piece to just show off.

For any number of reasons, the most obvious and likely of which is that he was simply emphasizing his point about carrying a weapon for self-defense. The least likely and most ridiculous reason, the one you seem stuck on, is that he was threatening a group of kids.

Why don’t you spend some time applying some of that critical thinking to why he would threaten a group of kids?
