I appreciate that the OP's concern is for the movement, but here's a political fact: you will never get what you're after if you let bad publicity, or just fear of bad publicity, get in the way.
That's because on the rare occasions where you can't find an example of something doing what you consider "stupid" and harmful to the cause, the antis will create an example.
Texas is stuck without open carry precisely because the major gun lobbying group is paralyzed by fear of bad publicity. Don't let it stop Missouri from moving forward for OC preemption.
Yes we see the same thing from Florida residents, they are so scared of anybody stepping up and offending the anti's that they back bite each other. And they will never get open carry back that way by sucking up with the people who don't care, and kicking the people who do.
