I had to share this argument that I have had on another site. (I do want to give credit to Gray Peterson as well as he mentioned this at the 2A rally)
In response to this quote and the 'I don't think it will work as a political strategy' quoted earlier... consider this...
Last year a young man name Chris showed up at a Obama event in Arizona carrying a pistol and something else (see pic)... everyone gasped! The NRA and other's in 'favor' of gun rights didn't want to touch this issue! Many said that this is a poor political strategy, it makes others uncomfortable, it is ill mannered. If we do this they will ban all guns, they will ban open carry, they will ban concealed carry!!! These are the things all the nay sayers were typing and hollering to the open carry advocates!
By the way, Arizona's Constitution is word for word what Washington's Constitution is, why? Because they copied Washington word for word!
Last week the Governor of Arizonasigned into law'Constitutional Carry' elimanating the need for a government permission slip to lawfully carry a firearm in public! Either concealed or OPEN!
In any struggle for a civil right it is leaders like Chris (and Gray)who make this happen!

For, but I think it will prove to be, at best, unproductive as a political strategy.
