What's the point of doing shite like this? Can someone explain that to me?

No good can come from doing shite like this.

NRA seems to agree that these guys are asshats and doing much more harm than good:

They can open carry all they want, it is their right, but in doing so in such an idiotic fashion, they are forcing businesses to exercise their rights to refuse service to people carrying.

Exactly. I'm failing to see ANY - I repeat ANY - positive that can come of this.

I'm on your side in this argument.

"In your face" activism rarely works, particularly when the media really isn't on your side to begin with. I think most of us are in agreement there are better ways to support our "rights."

The sane people finally came to the rescue. People who behave in that fashion are just as bad, if not worse than the people wanting to ban guns. They might not realize it, but it's true
A lot of people just dismiss dumb arse liberals, and nothing ever comes of what they want to do. When you start affecting the normal every day family by making them uncomfortable to be in public, shite WILL happen. Just adding the bullets to the tannerite

There is something in most every argument that should be used and it's called "tact". If you want to win your argument you much 1st be able to have proper information and 2nd is tact.
These guys failed in that regard.
You know it's bad when the NRA is calling them out (card carrying member here).

I can't say anything that already hasn't been said. It's just not a good idea to rub their nose in the fact that open carry is legal. Pick another avenue to get your point across. Carrying an AK47 into Chili's should not be that avenue.

I would never ever make that mistake. If I were the owner of facebook, or any other social media site, I would be tracking and making book on those fools. Just as they are doing to us as we express our thoughts here.

What is the difference in a guy open carrying a police officer open carrying? Why is one "acceptable" and one is not?

Okay, and if you have your own gun you may feel more comfortable.
Is it that hard to follow the law and not shoot people who don't deserve it?

The general population is ok with officers carrying in our society. But, for the sake of arguing, how do you think the general public would react to eating at McDonalds with several police officers standing by the door with M15's? I imagine many would't go in.

It's all about perception.
People seem to forget that old west towns like Tombstone banned guns in town precisely because of a few idiots spoiling it for everyone. It can happen again if drama queens who don't understand the potential public reaction against firearms will be negative continue to push the envelope.
Those of us who appreciate our right to carry don't want a goddamned thing to do with the drama queens. It seems even the NRA is agreeing on this one.

Training and communication. If a cop is getting his arse whipped he has a radio to call for help and other weapons to deter the attacker before lethal force is necessary. If you are open carrying and someone attacks you it pretty much immediately becomes a lethal force encounter and you will likely end up in prison.
There is no way to spin this as a positive. The strong advocates on both sides of the gun debate are not going to switch sides no matter what is done but they are the minority. The people who we need to lobby are the people who have a rifle or shotgun and maybe a pistol. These casual gun owners and supporters are the ones that will shape legislation in the upcoming years and they can be swung from one side to the other. Walking around with an AR slung across ones chest when a few casual owners are headed to Chilis to eat is all that is needed to put them in the anti-gun camp.

I don't know guys. Doesn't make sense to freak out every mother and grandmother just to try to make a point about the right to own guns. Growing up, if someone pulled out a gun in a restaurant or store or bank they were either a cop or a robber. Personally I don't want to live in a society where everyone walks around flashing guns.
This will cause a serious backlash.

Because I know the police officer has at least some sort of training and is less likely to do something stupid than some idiot who feels the need to carry a rifle to be a man.
If I go into a restaurant and I see a guy carrying a rifle, I leave. Immediately. I have guns in my house, but I don't want to leave the safety of myself and my family in the hands of an idiot with a gun. I can see it now, "It ain't even loaded, see . . . " BAM!
