Second Amendment supporters voice different idea of 'March for Our Lives'

some 800 sister marches were also planned in London, Tokyo, Sydney, New York City, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Mumbai,

The snowflakes at FOX have to be doing a lot of "recreational" drugs to really believe that these parades were "organized" by a bunch of Tide Pod eating munchers who don't even have a high school diploma. Come on FOXY. Get real. You know damn well this crap was organized, bought and paid for by Soros and his global communist buddies. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

"I'd suggest an alternative open carry "We March for Your Lives" counter protest with the message - I carry because I have someone to protect - but since this website is the only place I know of to organize, I know it would get only 2 participants and shot down by everybody else."

I've been in favor of open carry, although open carry has received the same response throughout history: that of disarming the commoners for the political class. On the other hand, open carry in general, everyday activities might eventually desensitize many to fears of firearms.

But at a protest or rally, most of bystanders and TV viewers seeing the armed protesters will respond emotionally--not logically. More than one kind of statement is perceived. They see armed strangers. Display firearms and be the pariah.

So I've been leaning more towards concealed carry and promoting concealed carry (and open carry doing some good under some circumstances). Researching the police point of view helps to understand the whole situation better. There are a few videos showing their frustration about getting calls and the legal constraints that they're bound to (e.g., mandatory arrests under statutes overlooked by carriers involving nothing more than words uttered, etc.).

I don't know. Legalities and the enormous task of informing the public make the issue complicated.
