Thank you Charles, that makes sense. I just couldn't help but wonder, probably wishful thinking, if there wasn't some way to still the militants. They are divisive and that certainly isn't good for the community as a whole.

In this instance, the ordinance will be meaningless, but in other situations it may create an issue we have to fight in court or in the legislature. Anyone who truly wants to see open-carry pass needs to stop these destructive tactics and let the NRA and TSRA handle this issue. We can pass this legislation by calming fears, not by creating fear.

I agree. But my question, especially in light of the comments about their leadership (or more accurately, lack of leadership) is, how do we get the message to them in a way that makes sense to them? How can we help them organize so that they will quit being jerks? I am serious here. We can bang our heads on our desk, roll our eyes and curse them for fools all we want but until we have an alternative, especially in this political environment, they will see no other means by which to spread the appropriate message.

We've already scene how well "demonstrations" work when there are no surprises. Maybe evangelize the OC guys a bit.
