Not really, When I moved to Az in 2000 just about everyone open carried and it was not alarming to anyone at all. Everyone was used to the fact it was just part of the culture and common normal everyday attire like suits and ties were are in the city. Or Bib overalls in farming country, or Cowboy hats here.

I don’t dispute that, but I will say that if they all showed up in the suburbs of say, Cleveland, where the white Soccer Moms send their kids to the ‘Wonderful Public Schools’, those people might get a different reception. Lose that vote, and it’s over for us.
Again, we don’t have to get votes, the guys in DC do...and I just can’t see us winning by saying that solution is more guns, everywhere...since so many people see the guns as the problem, not the shooters.
