We were warned.
Prior to the Republican National Convention, multiple mainstream media outlets warned about Ohio's dangerous gun laws that allow for the open carry of firearms.
The head of the police union wanted Ohio Governor John Kasich to (unconstitutionally) suspend the state's gun laws.
"We are sending a letter to Gov. Kasich requesting assistance from him. He could very easily do some kind of executive order or something -- I don't care if it's constitutional or not at this point," Stephen Loomis, president of Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association, told CNN. "They can fight about it after the RNC or they can lift it after the RNC, but I want him to absolutely outlaw open-carry in Cuyahoga County until this RNC is over."
The New York Times ominously reported: "However, given the recent tumult around the country, some leaders are anxious that the environment could turn dangerous. Members of one group made up of current and former members of the military called the Oath Keepers, who have shown up at other tense events heavily armed, say they again plan to carry weapons into Cleveland."

I walk into Walmart and see a bulge that isn’t normal anatomy. I can guess with pretty good odds what it is.
It was so prominent at Kroger. The Bloomberg gun control idiots attacked Kroger. In South and East Atlanta I seemed to see an increase in shoppers with bulges not explained by anatomy. (Also some open carry.)
Kroger Security guards also notice it and seem to welcome what they consider backup in case they need help.
BTW most of these shoppers who carry are Black as that is the demographic of S and E Atlanta.

My standard response to such questions, one LESS than died in Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile, one LESS than died at Three Mile Island and four LESS than died due to Hillary Clintons Incompetence in Benghazi as Secretary of State.
I hip carry my S&W .40 M&P Shield wearing loose outer jacket, no bulge, summer it’s usually my Beretta Tomcat in an ankle holster. I’ve practiced walking around with it and don’t do that ankle holster shuffle.
I have no doubt that the presence of the open carriers and the Patriot Riders are the reason there was no major violence at the Convention.
