Open carry is legal in the PRM; Many here advocate against it, or do not practice it, as it might freak out a bunch of people for no reason.
Others say, "OC is the way to get people to get over it!"
The exercise of 2A is an individual, not collective, right, and an individual, not collective choice. That means that each person carrying makes an individual choice, as to where, when, how and what.
I hope that I'm not too darkly looked upon for not being a 24/7 carry person - I don't think less, or more, of you that are. If you want to OC in Boston, go for it - if you think that the right course is "concealed means concealed," that's fine, too.
But it is disingenuous to say, "He's hurting our cause!" when you are hurting others' causes, by YOUR choice, though you may not know what their cause is.
1) Was he breaking a law? No.
2) Was he being unsafe? No.
3) Would I have done the same thing? No.
Do we know the "eventual" fallout? No, but none of us know what our choices will lead to. I'm not going to look through all the posts of all the posters on this thread
, but if any one that says the guy is doing it wrong, and has posted "IN!" to an Open Carry Bar-B-Q, that's hypocritical, IMO.
