Get educated and grow a spine.
Yes walking around with loaded weapons that's normal behavior. Keep dreaming. I hope more of you gun nuts show the public the crazy. I think most people think hey people have guns to hunt or to target practice or for protection. They don't perceive gun owners to be crazy cowards walking around with loaded weapons because they are afraid of the world.

Gunnut coward. Hey babe I'm going to the grocery store but I can't leave without me gun what if need it while I'm out. That's fear, violence, and paranoia. Keep thinking your cowardly self is some tough guy cause you are so afraid of the world you feel the need to have a gun to walk around in it.

Gun nuts are crazy.

Again, no reason to walk around freaking downtown Portland with assault rifles unless your goal is intimidation/violence or ego boosting. There is no good reason for it otherwise.

Perfect example of why males under 27 should not be allowed to own guns. The maturity and judgment is simply not there yet. It is foolish and pointless behavior like this that contributes to the anti-gun sentiments.

That's interesting to say the least. I wonder how he would feel hearing the frequent gun shots that are common where I live especially around hunting season. I could imagine the phone call to the police...

"My neighbor is shooting a scary gun."

Police: "....and your emergency is?"

LOL..... The funny thing here is if anyone was going to be arrested it would be the caller for misuse of the 911 system.

The fact that two guys who openly carrying their firearms is even news worthy is a truly pathetic statement, and further demonstrates just how out of touch with reality the lesser-48 has become.

There was never any interest in finding solutions to firearm violence. That was merely an excuse to try to take them away. If any rational person was truly interested in making our schools less of a target for firearm violence they would abolish the Gun-Free School Zone Act of 1995. But clearly the gun-grabbers WANT as many children slaughtered as possible. Otherwise why would they intentionally create these massacre magnets?

The blood of those killed at Columbine, VA Tech, and Newtown, are on the hands of these anti-American totalitarian fascist gun-grabbers.

Where I live the chances of someone being armed in your vicinity is about 100%. There is no gun violence in the immediate area where I live and gun ownership is probably in the high 90% range, that's not to say it can't happen but the typical crime associated with guns in non existent and has been for decades.

Gun nuts don't get that though. They really think they are being patriots while they show the world they are cowards by walking around with loaded weapons.

Can you imagine the fear, the paranoia, the desire to inflict violence that person must possess to feel the need to walk around with a loaded weapon while they go to the grocery store or the movies or anywhere.

These gun nuts fashion themselves as tough guys. They are deluding themselves

Good on these kids.

If all gun owners walked with open carry, the afraid people here would quickly get desensitized. A lot of people are scared of guns because they don't understand them and don't own them and don't see them on a regular basis. The only way around this is for them to see guns being carried by ordinary citizens on a regular basis.

Default It all comes down to trust

I happen to trust that anyone openly carrying a firearm is a decent citizen that will not be using the gun to commit a crime such as assaulting me or my friends. If I note someone concealing a gun I figure they are just being cautious. I trust other citizens to be law abiding as well as being willing to come to my defense if I were being assaulted.

IMHO too many people have been indoctrinated to fear everyone else and be terrified if they see a weapon. Fear is a terrible emotion because it shorts out a person's mind and replaces it with the fight, or with most, flight reaction. These responses are completely inappropriate and detrimental to a person’s ability to enjoy life.

Why would a person need to be armed 100% of the time?
