Not just unwinnable, but losable. I have little doubt that if I open carried at the Natick Mall or other busy public place, someone would freak the hell out and call the police, reporting hysterically that 'There is a guy with a gun!' And that best case scenario for me personally is that I get deemed 'unsuitable' by my CoP(42! ?) despite having broken no laws. Well, unless causing a Nancy pants-shitter to shit themselves is a crime - I'm sure they can come up with something.
This seems to be one of those issues that gets people very upset because it's perfectly legal, yet terribly ill-advised imo.
As far as the ridiculous analogy between illegals and gun owners, well, when the police and government officials openly state they have a policy to not prosecute gun owners for any violations, then I'll be the guy toting my AR everywhere.
They rolled SWAT at a mall around here (Burlington I think) because someone had an umbrella... This is what we're dealing with around here. The Massachusetts "genpop" isn't ready for this sort of thing. Legal, yes. Strategically sound, no.
