Exactly! The open-carry bomb-throwers would argue that "there's nothing to fear" and apparently expect normal armed citizens to be willing to take the first round and hope you survive, at least long enough to return fire.

Sadly, some will loudly proclaim that they are just exercising their constitutional right and there's no reason for alarm. After all, they are just educating the public on their gun rights.

Several months ago, I saw a video from a gun dealer in another state blasting OCT for their tactics because it was causing their legislature to consider curbs on carrying of long guns. I think it was Oklahoma, but I could be mistaken. There was so much profanity, I couldn't post it on the Forum.

What's that old saying, "with friends like these . . ."
