It is probably likely. An armed society is a polite society.

[SaxxonWoods]

1. No way to know.

2. I doubt it but see Number 1.

3. I hope so.

[SatinDoll]

Yes, being able to openly carry defensive firearms puts other people on their best behavior.

Amazing, isn’t it.

Americans win, Soros loses

[DarthVader]

It no doubt contributed to it.

[fhayek]

And the press was so SURE that open carry was going to lea to a bloodbath.

“An armed society is a polite society.”

So, be polite! :)

[Pearls Before Swine]

What happened to the New Black Panthers contingent that was going to go to Cleveland, heavily armed, looking for trouble?

Worried about bikers? Second thoughts? Forgot the date?

[faithhopecharity]

Almost certainly must have helped prevent soros violence, yes! $10 “activists” and “agitators” are usually just smart enough not to rush an ar-15 or colt 45 or 1911 or glock or whatever. And I don’t think soros provides his little brown- shirts any hospitalization or medical insurance coverage ?

I Vote A Big YES it was a Factor

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Don't forget. These guys were there too. Like their leader said, "We won't start anything, but if they do...."

I’ve suspected that Soros pulled in his horns.

My suspicion was that he knew that mass violence would only help Trump.

[GreenHornet]

I suspect there may be a lot of frustrated leftist loons who, unable to start trouble in Cleveland, will now head to the Democrat convention and vent their frustration in the streets of Philadelphia. There’s no open carry there, no group like “Bikers for Trump” to stand in their way, and Philly has a new liberal mayor, Jim Kenney, who is a Bill DeBlasio wanna-be.

“Thank you for that irrational, emotional rant.”

Open carry scared the SHIITE out of them, and likely scared the shit out of them too.

I think we PROVED that we were right.

[Twinkie]

The demonstrators won’t have to worry at the Dhimmicrat
Convention (Hillaryfest) except maybe about Hillary and
Billious’s armed body guards. Who’s her VP pick; does
anybody know? He’ll have armed guards, too.

[napscoordinator]

God forgive me but I hope Philadelphia proves gun free zones are not good.

[NonValueAdded]

As others have said, an armed society is a polite society.

[Candor7]

Did Open Carry law prevent Soros backed violence in Cleveland?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yep!

[rockinqsranch]

I’d like to think the well planned, incredible police presence, and the intense security measures put in place had something to do with the lack of mischief at the convention, but of course if the would-be perpetrators of such mischief feared lawful carry weapons that would have made it even better.
