This is truly a nightmare for 2nd amendment believers. NRA has betrayed the constitution and has now come out against open carriers, calling them scary attention whores with no shred of common sense.

Yet while unlicensed open carry of long guns is also typically legal in most places, it is a rare sight to see someone sidle up next to you in line for lunch with a 7.62 rifle slung across his chest, much less a whole gaggle of folks descending on the same public venue with similar arms.
Let's not mince words, not only is it rare, it's downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one's cause, it can be downright scary.
This is unforgivable, if a legal american citizen need to flash his AR 15 in a mcdonald to overcome insecurity and boost his self-worth, he has all the rights in america to do that. if any one in the mcdonald think he's doing a hold up and pulls a gun on him, shame on the that guy for infringing his rights, and he is in the right to stand his ground.
