The children going to school in Israel get a sense of greater security from their teachers openly carrying their rifles and side arms. Here in America we have a media that wants the sheeple to be government dependents in all things, so only the government authorities are not seen as dangerous when they openly carry. You’re right, it is a matter of education. Sadly, our society is the product of the enemy, the media, and it is foolish to butt against those pricks at this time. In England, even the police do not carry openly, so ANY gun seen there is assumed not for show except when in the hands of SWAT dressing. I carry every day, everywhere I go, and the sheeple around me have no idea what I stand ready to do for them and myself. I prefer it that way, until the sheeple cease to be sheeple on a grand scale, not in foolish acts of showoffery.
The people will only become desensitized to open carry by people carrying openly. And this is working all over America. This isn't the only instance of open carry teething problems.
Face it, the queers now have queer marriage because they were in-your-face about their activities.
Open carry can do the same, and is a much more honorable goal.
