Education belongs in class environs, not walking down the street, kit’ed up for a war.
You don’t hear about people running up saying “Gee, Open Carry man, can you tell us more about the second amendment?”
No, it’s the citizens, and rightfully so, calling the local constabulary to investigate Rambo walking through their nice quiet neighborhoods....
You want to make an open carry statement? Walk through Walnut Park in St. Louis...Because it’s really about protection and not showing off, right? Right.
“You want to make an open carry statement? Walk through Walnut Park in St. Louis...Because it’s really about protection and not showing off, right? Right.”
No. It is political. There is no more effective way to demonstrate that you have the right, than to use it while the police watch and do not arrest you. The message could not be more clear.
It is a Constitutionally protected right, and the police understand that.
Carrying a gun openly in a group is mostly about politics and the Constitution, and those involved in open carry exercises should always make that clear. It is why these organized walks and open carry picnics are more effective and less devisive than individuals openly carrying.
Because it is all about the right to bear arms.
