re: Texas Veteran Warns Open Carry Could Trigger PTSD

I am genuinely curious here. Open carry gets to him? What does he do at airports or other places where there is visibly, armed security?

I was an infantryman, and I have had my struggles as well. My experience is that people who pull these kind of stunts in the OP generally aren't the type that really care about open carry or anything of the sort. They're not attention whores, and they're too wrapped up in their own minds to get bothered about it, anyway.

My buddy doesn't give out cards and shite. He just goes to a lot of counseling and takes a ton of meds.

I agree that this dude is likely an attention whore, but there are some vets with legitimate triggers when it comes to gun, loud noises, etc.
