I tend to agree with bracer about not letting firearms be seen in public. Just because one has the "right", doesnt mean its the wisest thing to do.
Most here should know that the anti-gun faction will twist the facts around to suit them, no matter what, and how does anyone prove those facts wrong when the anti-gun crowd looks for and wants to believe the worst about situations like that?
As for the posted photo of an individual carrying a shotgun at low ready, posting such a photo anywhere is the most irresponsible thing i've ever seen, for this reason, Again, the anti_gun crowd can use that as evidence ALL gun owners are irresponsible. They can assign claims to any scenerio they want, claim its anywhere, with any result and make gun owners look bad. Once an inaccurate story gets started regarding such, there are people who will believe it as gospel and nothing will convince them of the actual truth, so why give the anti-gunners any more ammunition against us?
Sad to say in some of the responses, I see alot of radical "its my right and i'll do what i want regardless of the consequences" attitudes, and those attitudes will just hurt us in the long run.
so........if you feel the need bash away, but think about whats best for gun owners in general rather than yourself in particular.
