Open Carry America: Report from a Cross Country Road Trip

[CompanyFirstSergeant]

10. "Being threatened by people with guns was a good part of my life."

Honestly and sincerely - that is certainly likely to influence one's viewpoint.

I do not support the open carrying of larger firearms such as rifles and shotguns - except while engaged in sport shooting/hunting.

Walking the street or getting food with a slung rifle - I believe that is done for shock value, mostly.

I am not comfortable with people who arrange rifle-carry protest marches, although they may work, such as in Texas.

Handguns, however are part of American culture. Oddly, one can avoid seeing firearms by living in urban areas, but they are generally more violent places!
