2nd Ammendment Fun Down Here

We have had several fellas trying similar things around here. We usually call them 'attention whores'. Guys walking around down town Indy with AR's slung on their backs at busy lunch time areas and such. In IN our carry laws are pretty loose, open or concealed carry of handguns with an easily obtained permit, carry of loaded rifles legal with no permit needed. I agree we need people to educate the pilice and the masses, but I think there are less sensational ways to do it.

I read a column in Shotgun news a few years ago that I wish I would have saved. It basically compared carrying a gun with being gay. It stated that most intelligent people knew it happened and didn't care either way. It also said that shoving your behavior in unknowing people's faces did zero good for your cause. Open carry of your AR in Wal Mart will not turn a soccer mom into a pro second amendmend person. A gay pride parade with guys making out while wearing leather bondage gear won't turn your average person into a proponent of gay marriage. It was a very well written column which I'm sure upset many 'tough' gun guys, but made several good points.
