I don't get the open carry crowd.
I've asked what the point of these type confrontations with police were about and why cause a disturbance and public shock by open carrying and the response is always the same. Its my right and unless you exercise your rights you'll lose them. I understand that thinking in the case of a mental exercise but reality is totally different.
But the worst part is that it does nothing to help the gun rights movement and as a matter of fact it hurts it. Additionally I expect to see one of two things happening. Buffer zones established around certain buildings where open carry is not legal, or an outright ban on the practice.
Long story short. This kind of thing isn't helping and will hurt the cause.
