It's interesting to see people who represent the Republican platform, which includes 2A rights, back peddle as they discuss open carry at the forthcoming convention.
"we're all for it, you know, just not here where it might affect us".
In full disclosure, I have to say personally I am not a proponent of open carry, I just find politicians squirming around on the issue fascinating. The head of Friends of Trump noted that while he is really behind open carry and 2A rights, the area they will throw a party in will be a gun free zone, except for the extra security they're hiring. Same for the PBA chief who is for open carry, but is for banning it in the immediate area of the convention.
Here's an article about it for your reading pleasure, sure to raise a smile, or ire: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/u...n-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0
