It is. It's the right wing version of Michael Moore just without the funding.

They are looking to cause controversy and maybe get on the morning talk show.

No link.....or just a statement?

....and it is about proving a point. They are well within their rights, provided they have paperwork, and are in state were open carry is allowed.

If you want to open carry because of good reason, ie business owner protecting assets, go for it. If your gonna strap a gun to your hip and go find a a cop to harass you the your a fucking nuisance. The only time I carry is when I am running cash business(legal) and I am going to areas I might need it. But I keep it hidden. No need for that attention.

I've talked to a few officers while OC'ing and they were always positive experiences. I dress well, don't go out looking for attention, and I carry responsibly (aware of m environment). If you go out with a camera looking for attention, you are going to get it, so I don't understand why these people throw such a fit when officers stop them. I know it's just for the camera, to prove whatever dumb point is not needed to be proven, but it's quite embarrassing to the rest of us...

Yeah, because someone who is just wanting to open carry is just gonna do it, not happen to have a video camera rolling. I'm not against it, but going out with a camera for the sole purpose of a confrontation is wasting the officers time.

I agree, you have a right to be an idiot and an asshole but at the end of the day your just that. I'm all for gun rights and open carrying but I've seen tons of videos of people open carrying with a video camera just looking for a confrontation.
