http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_carry_in_the_United_States there was a picture posted representing an average open carry advocate, some members of this forum were upset by the picture and wanted another one posted. Here is a discussion on the subject from the wiki discussion page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Open_carry_in_the_United_States
New picture
Here is my contribution...Open carry in the French Quarter 9-11-2010. Anyone else have an open carry picture to post?

I suggested another picture that could be used insteadEdit war from unregistered users over photo is coming from folks on OpenCarry.org trying to push their organization, their discussion of it is here:
http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/showthread.php?74102-Just-edited-Wikipedia-page-on-Open-Carry They want to use a photo of a sexy woman, or a non-white minority, or a thin person, to push a "sexy" agenda of open carry and/or use a photo from their organization, when the photo used is fine, illustrates the concept as needed, and follows all Wikipedia requirements, including rights.
The picture did get changed, here are the 2 pictures..in case anyone does not know it by now...there are people who watch this forum and some of them are not friends of open carry or gun rights in general. Original pictureWhy not just post another picture then and keep a "war" from happening? Here is another photo from the same person on commons with the same rights etc...in fact I believe its the same person in the picture just with no cap
