". why do they do it? (I get flamed every time I say this). All it does is stir up controversy, and those dumb “frightened citizens” that see a gun and panic always do (and always will). Why not just carry concealed and not kick every dog you walk by? I still say open carry, although perfectly legal in Georgia, is a person “showing off” ... using a gun as “bling” ... look at me I have a gun." No, actually they won't "...always will...(panic)". The whole purpose is to educate those morons who have been misled and mistaught to fear inanimate objects. I hope the "open carry" movement continues and expands. When I was growing up (1960's), I often carried a 22 pistol with rat shot (Louisiana---lots of snakes) , openly, in a holster. Often stopped in to the local store to grab a cold soft drink on the way home (haying = hot work). Nobody even raised an eyebrow.
Our so-called "educators" have a LOT to answer for---none of it good.

You said a mouthful, and all of it correct. We have been lied to for three generations, and the “chickens” are coming home to roost. The lies have gotten “progressively” (pun intended) worse as time goes on and they have to cover up the failures of earlier lies.
