22. its a very difficult issue
I'm a member of several gun forums and remember your user name when this first happened. I also remember the pistol in hand episode which, while also a bit edgy, I supported your actions kwirknu. This however is just too shady. Pushing the limits of your rights is indeed one way to bring attention to possible infringements and have it corrected. However in this instance, going from memory, BDUs, black sock hat, combat boots, the draco.

I know how it goes among gun rights. Going in knowing you might get stopped. I've OCed into Philadelphia several times before ViperGTS aka Mark Fiorino got stopped and made national headlines. I knew I may end up where Mr Fiorino went. I accepted that and so too did you. If memory serves, carry in parks had just been legalized, and with your pistol incident that was a very OLD law about navy cap and ball revolvers carried in hand. I'm a gun enthusiast, and OCer, and I would have been freaked out by that. I think you went too far with the draco. Why cammies and the draco? What's wrong with going out with an XD?

I don't think I would go so far as to say you damaged gun rights but I think it was a bad choice. I still wish you the best of luck with your court case.
If you would, shoot me a PM. Here or poofa. Wouldn't mind a chat.
