I would think any organization could prohibit guns on their property if they so wished to. This guy is just forcing his views on someone else which is wrong.
Here’s my impression of this guy:
I’m a gun owner but I don’t need a gun to prove my manhood or as a replacement for my penis. I don’t parade around with firearms. They remain in a safe in a dead bolted closet. This guy is advertizing his stupidity and insists on being an idiot.
…or maybe one of the lions or tigers will recognize his gun as the one that did a friend or relative and exact appropriate revenge with its open carrying claws and jaws.
“I consider this a win,” Smith said. “It’s a win in that they have finally shown their hand.”
“And with this restraining order I can finally start riding the right wing grift train. Please look for my GoFundMe and I am available for any FOX News pundit jobs.”
“Missouri state law prohibits firearms from amusement parks, but Smith said that the zoo may not fit into that category because it’s taxpayer-funded and public, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.”
Yeah. A zoo is in no way a park of animals for the public’s amusement. This guy is clearly NOT the sharpest tool in the shed.
“I consider this a win,” Smith said. “It’s a win in that they have finally shown their hand.”
He also is sure Romney won the last election.
The firearm owning members of my family just cringe whenever one of these open carry loons decide it’s time to share their philosophy with the public. Personally, I want to hand them all a microphone, then sit back with the popcorn.
He thinks anti-gun people are unjustifiably afraid of guns, so he’ll fix that by going to a zoo, which is basically a place for kids, and walk around brandishing a gun. That’ll ease their minds!
What the f*ck is wrong with these people?
I pretty confident that police in Missouri know how to deal with a man with a gun. RIP
I’m all in favor of arming the animals and seeing who turns out to be more intelligent.
What parent or sane person would visit the zoo on a day that nutcases plan to show up with firearms? I applaud the zoo administration for keeping those loons out.
I don’t recall this story, thanks for the link, but clearly he was not a brainy scientist.
What a shame. The Soccer Moms were lining up with their baby strollers to challenge them. The orangutans had already organized the rest of the zoo animals and were staging a strike, refusing to leave their lairs while an unknown species of lesser animals was allowed to roam freely in their environment.
I swear if they get around this restraining order, I plan to meet them with a barrage of rotten eggs, pork rinds and Cheetos. They would probably drop to their knees and start gobbling it all up.
I’m just going to just go ahead and say it…the gun nuts are the ones causing the problems and this open carry tension.
I’m almost to the point of wanting them all segregated on one side of town so they can hurt each other and leave the innocent people alone.

Well, high on the list would be: they are nuts, and they have guns.
-Did you hear that, Nadeem? Legal open carry in a big American airport!
-Yes, Baktash. That makes me very happy!
Take your pick of cartoons and open carry Rambo wannabes!
Let’s turn around one of their bumper stickers:
Guns don’t cause fear. Assholes flashing guns cause fear.
What is it with these ammo-sexuals?
I can’t stop laughing at that. Well done!
These people are so fucking insane. First of all, I couldn’t imagine going to a zoo and seeing a bunch of morons carrying guns. I would leave immediately. Second of all, I live in Harlem, and if all my neighbors were openly carrying guns, I would sell my apartment ASAP. But who would want to buy it? That’s what these idiots who promote these laws don’t seem to understand. There are economic consequences to passing such laws. What sane person would move to a state where open carry is AOK?
I’m sick of these jackasses. There’s only one reason you wear a Glock on your hip when you take your family to Olive Garden. You want people to be afraid of you. You don’t give a shit about your community or your country. You are not a Constitutional scholar in search of guaranteeing freedom for future generations. You are a special kind of jerk who is looking for attention of any type. You want us to respect you when you don’t deserve it. The only thing you are projecting into society is that you have the power to play God regardless of what you are actually made of. These morons are an infection. They are coarsening our society with their paranoia and aggression. They are serving the NRA’s purposes by trying to act like they are simply advancing their rights as Americans. There is a reason we, as a society, stopped carrying guns in public. Guns are killing machines. They don’t belong at the Zoo or at the restaurant, grocery store, school, campus, or anywhere people go to enjoy each others presence. Keep your gun at home for protection. Go hunting. But don’t take it to Walmart and act like you’re some kind of patriot while you leer at everyone who is wondering what you might decide to do with it.
