From SnowFlakesInHell on open carry at political protests:
…part of breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions about gun owners being deviant or abnormal is to act normal. Normal people do not walk around with AR-15s slung over their shoulders.
I think that pretty much sums up my position on this issue.

Open Carry at a protest where Obama is going to be. I am not sure how I feel about this one. It’s good that the police aren’t overreacting, but this has a lot of potential for going sideways in a hurry. A crackpot or a plant could create a lot of bad (worse) press.

Headline: “Gun Dealer Sold Guns to Various Shooters”
From the first sentence “An online weapons dealer who sold a gun or accessories…” (emphasis mine.)
And from reading the whole article I find the sales consisted of: A holster, some magazines, a mag loader and finally a .22-caliber handgun. Nowhere does it mention that to “buy a gun online” one is still going to have to do an FFL Transfer. I am not surprised they are anti-gun. I am surprised they do such a bad job of feigning balanced reporting.

Two-Four is rightly upset about a police use of force incident. Just because you can use force doesn’t mean you should. I have written about the 21 foot rule before.
