Lots and lots of rhetoric in the rags again. I'm sorry, but these guys getting together and showing up in restaurants with rifles is a bit much, even for me.
There's a right time and a right place for everything, but blatantly freaking folks out because it's legal, and you can just seems irresponsible to me.
That said...
In many places open carry is becoming much more legal than it used to/should be.
Not to go down the CCW/open path at all here, but here is something I was thinking.
Many people have made comments on the rags saying if they see someone open carrying in a restaurant or other establishment, they will just leave if the person isn't a cop or wearing a badge.
I know many folks who still maintain their CCW, even though it's no longer required in AZ.
Hang on here...
You can go online and get a CCW badge, that looks like any other badge, especially to the untrained eye.
What if those who wished to open carry, got themselves a badge, so people wouldn't freak out seeing an armed man who meant them no harm?
Oh, he's got a badge! No reason to freak or call 911.
I don't know.
Discuss, or lock.
It's all so silly.
