People who open carry in a non 2A frendly area , are like children splashing in puddles, they do it just because they can.

Target has now requested that gun owners no longer carry in their stores - when are these people going to learn that carrying an AR-15 is not helping!

Could you show us some pictures of the scary looking people posing in ways that would make you uncomfortable?I've seen numerous pics of LGOC peeps. Most of them would not cause any particular attention even with a safely slung rifle. However, there were several who would have been scary looking without a rifle and more than one who was "posing" in ways or generally handling their long guns in ways that would have made me uncomfortable had I been nearby.
There is certainly a balance. I'm not saying you should wear a tux for LGOC, however, if you're looking like a homeless person that day or can't figure out which way to point your slung rifle, or have no situational awareness of where it is pointing when you are moving around the store shopping or taking things out of a cart or off the bottom so that your muzzle is pointed at the face of the little kid behind you, or while leaning over to get something at the counter the business end of your rifle ends up an inch away from middle of the nice customer service lady's face, well, maybe you shouldn't carry that day, or until you get more training, or with a different firearm.
It is pretty easy to stick a handgun in a decent holster and carry it around without any particular thing beyond your just having it making anyone uncomfortable. Carrying around a long gun requires a whole lot of muzzle control, situational awareness and body position awareness if you are doing something where you are bending over and reaching up a lot like may happen shopping. So yeah, I can certainly see, based on pics and videos I have seen, why many people would react negatively and how those same images could be used to lean a CEO to at least asking for no more OC.
That's true if were legal. The guys were in Texas where HG OC is illegal, but LG OC is legal, why they are doing it. I truly believe if HG OC was legal there, they would NOT be carrying LGs.I've seen numerous pics of LGOC peeps. Most of them would not cause any particular attention even with a safely slung rifle.

This isn't mentioned enough, because everyone seems to keep forgetting that this is the whole friggin' point, and why Texas is where this is happening.

Yep, It is all the fault of Rosa Parks!You mean Rosa Parks should have just not sat in that place unfriendly to black folk?
I don't think the anti-liberty crowd thinks that deeply about LGOC, or HG OC for that matter. See gun, hate gun, limit liberty.....just that simple.<snip> So yeah, I can certainly see, based on pics and videos I have seen, why many people would react negatively and how those same images could be used to lean a CEO to at least asking for no more OC.

Why do you feel that the exercise of a right has to help anything?
Would you rather the exercise of the right carry on in such an objectionable manner that the general populace morphs its legal status from "right" to "crime," regardless of what it says in the Constitution?
