Although I agree 100% with an “open-carry” TEA Party we have to be careful. It provides a perfect opportunity for some leftist anti-gun whacko to start waving his/her gun around and make us look bad. The MSM would spin any incident as “Right-Wing Gun-Nuts go Crazy at TEA Party”.
Empty holsters might be better...?
A Friend in Illinois (illegal to open carry) suggested just that this morning. Such could also make the point that “evil” guns do not exist.
