WVEC 13 just had a report on them. They just had to have someone say "I don't think that's a good idea to show your weapon and go into a restaurant, that"s just asking for trouble." :banghead:

So uniformed LEO's are just asking for trouble? :lol:

We've all read numerous articles about this, but the pilot is running a poll beneath the pic of a granny in this article. Hit it up if you have a minute.

Note that the poll is mid way down on the left side. Take time, click it and make their counter spin.

Going to cross post this in Hot Topics as an example that can be used in any state where legal.

Practical and tactical have 2 different meanings in the plan to show people that it is the persons conduct, not the tool, that should or should not be the cause for concern. When someone intentionally plays directly to the fear of other people, one should expect an escalated negative response. Why anyone would do that to a shop that has shown support to RKBA is beyond me. Public relations, I say again public relations, is a tricky path - don't invite problems unnecessarily.

Then consider that those that insist on posting re long guns do so with the full knowledge that they are breaking the Forum Rules .

(14) LONG GUN CARRY IS OFF-TOPIC: This web site is focused on the right to openly carry properly holstered handguns in daily American life. We do NOT promote the carry of long guns. Long guns are great! OCDO co-founders John & Mike and most of the members of this forum own at least one long gun - but due to urban area issues of muzzle control, lack of trigger guard coverage, and the fact that the long gun carry issue distracts from our main mission to promote the open carry of handguns in daily life, we will leave long gun carry activism in the capable hands of the future founders of web sites about long gun carry.
