It is you "cringe in the corner" types who aren't helpful. You are actually collaborating with those who want those rights denied. The sad thing is that you apparently don't realize that.
I was in a WalMart a few weeks ago and as I came in a woman and her friend did so. She had a Glock open carry. I observed her strut around a couple isles at the front of the store, then leave the store without buying anything. She was clearly tempting someone to say something. No one did, she left bored.
I've been around guns for longer than I can remember. With my dad as a police officer, our house had lots. Never treated them as toys, never needed to show off. Guess it is an age thing, but at 55 I carry or do not for its sake, nothing more, nothing less.
