Open carry does bother some people. Now, why is important?
IF someone in CVS sees a person carrying and let's say the person carrying had a bad day and aren't very polite.
What's to prevent someone within the store, say an employee, to call the police, or obtain the person's name and report it as a potential "red flag".
Next thing you know police are at the gun owner's home with a warrant to confiscate the gun(s) until such time as a court can determine IF they are truly a "red flag".
In San Fran they voted to call the NRA a terrorist organization.
Change one or two members on the Supreme Court, lose the White House and/or Senate and you will see other groups labeled as such.
Free Republic and all who've created accounts here could be on a red flag list.
It could all change overnight.
That's why it is important to show up at the ballot box next November.
“...Free Republic and all who’ve created accounts here could be on a red flag list.

Very well said and all very true. We ALL need to get to the ballot box next November and vote! Most folks don’t realize it, but we’re in the midst of an outright communist overthrow of our nation via of the political process (they could never succeed in any other way). POTUS has ripped the mask of em and guess what? What’s underneath is vile, ugly, evil....and dangerous. They’re NOT your traditional democrats. They’re outright hard-core communists hell-bent on the destruction of our nation as we now know it. They need to be defeated and defeated soundly.
“Better safe than sorry”
That’s what motivates most secret police forces.
Just consider:
“He voted for Trump” (racist deplorable!)
“He’s an NRA member” (terrorist organization!)
“He’s a combat veteran” (could go PTSD at any moment!)
“He’s a devout Christian” (bigot Islamophobe!)
“He’s a cisgender hetero male” (intolerant homophobe!)
“He hunts and fishes” (animal murderer!)
“He calls himself a `patriot’” (white nationalist!)
Yep, boys, better go kick in his door.
Do I exaggerate?
