What if all 300 million gun owners openly carried, nationwide, on the same day? What would/could they do, even in BS New Jersey?

IFTBJ (In before the boat joke).
We are not recovering. Christie has done little to nothing to change this miserable state.

Right over the border in PA hollow points are as legal as candy.
Evan Nappen is a tireless bulldog. He’ll get the HP charges tossed.
I believe I met him at a Gun Rights Policy Conference. He struck me as a sharp guy.
is his mother a lunatic?
