Yes the news media would have reported on open carry passage and the open carry law going into effect. But due to the childish behavior of some open carry advocate groups, the media had all of those wonderful pictures and lots of video footage to play as the talking heads were droning on. A lot of the LEO public meetings and forums had to spend considerable time explaining and defining exactly what the new open carry law said. Usually the first 10 to 15 minutes were dedicated to reinforcing the idea that the new law had nothing to do with AR-15s and AK-47s.

After 11 days, the adage "Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it" definitely applies to open carry.
