Likely the downvotes were from people who either open carry themselves or know many other level-headed and law-abiding people who also legally open carry.
As a community, I would argue that those who regularly open carry are much less likely to incite or join a violent protest than those who do not open carry. But perhaps I've spent too much time in the Bible belt.
- dragonwriter 6y agoThe responsibility of the vast majority of people who open carry does not change the fact that open carry laws complicate the task of policing the expected armed protests. (This is not to argue whether open carry laws are, on balance, a good or bad thing for society, that’s a different issue.)
