Watching American Idol tonite (guilty pleasure) and it's the episode when they take the Top Three back for a home town visit. Well Phillip Phillips was taken to see his dad who owns a pawn shop and his ol' man is open carrying. No attempt by Fox to hide it,blur it or not photograph it. The kicker is he continues to wear it in the limo ride and Ryan Seacrest makes a comment about the ol man packing heat when they get back to live TV, and not in a demeaning manner. Just sharing an observation.
