I am by nature pro-gun. I don't like handgun prohibitions or similar political gestures, which do nothing to stop crime and target law-abiding citizens. But when people are openly carrying (presumably loaded) guns in urban setting, well that is going way too far for me.Our job, as RKBA advocates, is to show that 99% of gun owners and carriers are NOT John Hinckley Jr. types, and in fact would probably use our guns to help STOP such an act if we could.
If nothing else, these fellows packing heat at presidential events are splitting the pro-gun movement and forcing people like me to find common cause with the anti-gun movement. As a RKBA advocate, do you consider that to be a good thing?
