"Law student"?

Having watched the video, the one thing that sticks out the most for me is the caption about the police officer "making him feel very uncomfortable". Major red flag.

The officer might be wrong, but he's about as non-confrontational as officers go. I'd love for policemen like this guy to be in my neighborhood instead of the douches I usually have to deal with.

But Mr. Open Carry says this officer is making him "very uncomfortable". And that's why people like him carry openly while walking down the street - because they're nervous little chickenshits who have the potential to shoot at anything that scares them.

I thought you were the most educated clown on Lit? Put the question mark inside the quotation marks.

Back on Iggy.

Actually, there's no set rule about where the punctuation should go in a quote. Generally, if the punctuation is part of the original quote, it is included inside the marks. If not, it can be added on the outside. In this case, I think the punctuation was correct.

That article agrees with me.

LOL! GRAMMAR FAIL!

Stick to what you know, old man - like peddling corn.

On the other hand, if a question ends with a quoted statement that is not a question, the question mark will go outside the closing quotation mark.

What are you going after me for? I agreed with you.

It does?

Rule 2
The placement of question marks with quotes follows logic. If a question is in quotation marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks.

...and that doesn't apply whatsoever to what I wrote, dumbass.

You never went to school. Just deal with it!

Grammar one-upmanship. Don'tcha just love the Internet?
