This is what it is coming to... Police (government) against law abiding citizens. Not sure how this can be corrected.

You have normal citizens thinking that people carrying guns are a problem - maybe that is where teachable moments should occur.

Or...maybe the law enforcement officers need additonal training. Not sure where this ends...

Somebody with better experience let me know...

Three scruffy fellows openly armed are sitting in a Hash House 3am eating breakfast.. An Arizona Sheriff's Deputy walks in. Looks around, sees the three men in the farthest corner booth. He makes eye contact with the one who can see him, they both nod. Doesn't know them from Adam. Walks up sits in the next booth facing the door. His back to the scruffy fellows. He knows da#n good an well open carry is perfectly legal and has been since Arizona was a territory. So does the everyone else including the Waitress the Cook and the Cashier. He has seen the same thing for many years and knows if things go to hell in a hand basket the only problem with the guys behind him will be trying to keep them from killing some idiot who points a gun or knife at the waitress or tries to rob the restaurant.

There is a bench in front of a tiny storefront police station in a former mining now tourist town.. There, sweat stained Cowboy hat tipped low, well worn 1911 on his hip a fellow is dozing . Two of the towns 3 maybe 4 Peace Officers (including the Chief”) are changing shifts. The screen door is is an old wooden one Green/Blue. If you let it slam it makes a lot of racket. As the Officers pass two feet away from the sleeping fella you can see them turn down their radios and carefully close that screen door.

In Phoenix three Mexican Federale/Narco Terrorists ambush a Patrolmen who stopped them to write a traffic ticket. Gunning him down he is killed. The Phoenix citizen in the car behind takes the Narco Terrorists under fire.. they surrender and he holds them until the Phoenix Police arrive. As part of the investigation the citizen's weapon has to be processed as evidence. That day the Phoenix Police Officer Association/Union went out.. bought and delivered and new pistol to the citizen.

It takes time but that's how it ends, with mutual courtesy and respect.

Which in no small part explains the left’s psychotic opposition to an Armed Citizenry.

Real easy.
