Not at all...what few (3-4) counter protesters I saw were generally ignored by everyone except the media. I will say that I did see a couple of 2A supporters raise a banner about 20 feet behind these people's banner while they were being interviewed. This despite the counter protesters getting prime frontage on the street with their banner.
Regarding the attached article, the 2A supporters that I saw in the Capitol Bldg were polite and friendly to all the workers and the people there for Ag Day. I was heartened by the statement in the article that the rifles were what was the issue, not the open carrying of pistols. Although I think whether attendees carried pistols or rifles is immaterial, I believe this can be considered progress and closely matches where OCDO official opinion falls regarding long-gun carry.

I saw one guy hand a 2 amendment brochure to an anti and tell him he should read it, I thought that was great.

I thought that was a pocket constitution, and I'm pretty sure the anti threw it on the ground. Maybe I saw something different.
