It's just about open carry - which annoys a lot of people.
Everyone here is in favor of free speech but if I was in a restaurant and somebody was yacking so loud on their cell phone next to me that I couldn't hear myself think, it would piss me off. Go exercise your free speech somewhere else. I'm trying to eat.
Also, what if you had a gay nextdoor neighbor? No big deal, live and let live. But if he mowed his lawn in a G-string and a cowboy hat, you might have a problem with that.
Same with open carry. It's about getting in your face. I think anybody that open carries basically wants attention and want people to think they're studs. Why do you need to open carry anyway? It just makes you the first target of a shooter. Stealth is always a better policy. If I was in a restaurant and some dildo walked in with a rifle over his shoulder, I'd probably leave too. I know he wants attention but I don't want to stick around to see what kind of attention he's looking for. If I chose to stay, I'd have both eyes glued on him the whole time. And that's basically what he wants. So, they want a reaction, they got their reaction.
