agree but you are going about it in the wrong manner backing those who open carry in Wal-Mart. Public opinion is split now but it doesn't take much to sway the sheeple of this nation one way or the other. If people continue to do stupid things like carry ARs around in high traffic areas and open carry in Wal-Mart opinion will likely start to sway toward more gun restrictions.

The only reason I wouldn't open carry in Walmart would be because of the copious amount of uneducated "sheeple" walking around in there. Im not some gun toting hick, and I have seldom open carried, and when I have done so I was coming out of the woods. But I don't bat an eye at someone responsibly, nonchalantly carrying on his hip in public.

To me, this is issue is like most every other political issue out there. An issue with much gray area and variances. And then a bunch of people either jumping on one side of the argument or the other.. What happened to judging a situation or topic on an individual basis. This conversation went from OC'ing on the hip in a holster to having an AK slung over your shoulder in a high traffic area. These two issues are not comparable, and like was said earlier, you cant lump them all in the same category.

I would much rather see someone responsibly open carrying, than seeing a twitchy little dude CC'ing with the outline of a gun in his pants. "Oh why does he have to be a twitchy little dude?", you ask.. Because you are stereotyping every open carrier as an attention whoring, gun toting crazy person..
