If I recall correctly, there was a group of mixed race people walking around with rifles at various events, without incident.
I think groups might be less likely to stir trouble than a single individual, for a variety of reasons. But I could be wrong, it would depend largely on the responding officers, I imagine. If the citizens are being peaceful and do not act in threatening ways, I would not expect trouble.
- c22 10y agoI talked to a guy holding a gun once who politely asked for my wallet. He didn't point the gun at me, yell, stand too close, or act aggressive. The mere act of holding a gun was all the threat he needed.

Somebody at night "politely" brandishing a firearm asking you for your wallet on a lonely street is not the same as a guy wearing an american flag t-shirt with a rifle on his back sucking down hot dogs at a cookout, even though they are both "holding" guns.
