That's my opinion of most open carry activists. I don't have a problem with regular open carry although I prefer concealed myself. When I was a deputy I worked in a rural county where farmers as often as not had a pistol on their hip on a daily basis for snakes or wild dogs, so you saw it every day- in fact in NC open carry has been law of the land for better than 50 years with no real problems.
If they were in NC and I was still an officer I would arrest them for violating a nice law we have called "Going armed at the terror of the public". The DA's may drop it because it's a harder one to prosecute, but they can post bond and let their guns sit in evidence until the case is finished. It's a nice law to single out those who open carry for the purpose of stirring shit.
