Okay, so let's accept the "public perception" angle: has there been any outrage over this, other than by the gun-rights community?
Sometimes we get so PC-minded, afraid that our foes might hate us, that we forget that they already hate us and already portray us in the worse possible light. We do the movement no favors when we not only confirm the stereotype, but try to enforce it more rigidly than our foes. And make no mistake: they're not placated by our internal PC-ness, they're laughing the whole time.
It's like the post-9/11 security measures that we voluntarily implemented: the terrorists won.

If you think that you doing so makes you look stupid, then maybe you shouldn't do that.frazzled wrote: Carrying an AK to a protest makes you look:
1. Stupid
2. Militia like (read terrorist)
3. Redneck crazy.
If you think that him doing so makes you (or anyone else) look stupid, then you're engaging in the same kind of guilt-by-association the Brady Bunch likes to use to compare all of us to mass murderers.
