Scoff all you want at those guys, call them stupid.
They are doing something, in their community, to get their laws changed and their rights back. Way more street cred to me than some dudes sniveling on the internet about how bad it is over there, or why open carry in the first place. We should be grateful that there are people willing to get their guns jacked, by thugs or cops.
Get off the intarwebs and walk a mile in their shoes instead of saying what they are doing is all wrong.
PS, this is directed at all of you who think open carry is an unnecessary right because you don't want to. I would love to live to see the day when I can walk peacefully down 5th Avenue in Manhattan with a Model 29 on my hip. It starts with these guys in CA with the balls to do something.
