Only those with an irrational fear, such as her. Now if he was brandishing and yelling out the statement on his shirt , then a different story.

Exercising a Constitutional right in a peaceable manner is nothing to be suspicious of.

Open carry has been legal in many states since the 19th century...so....

Also, only 5 states do not allow open carry, 15 require permit. So, not wanting to live near anyone carrying isn't all that easy.

You can believe what you want, but if the Lord himself showed you the bodies and the stats I doubt it would change your mind. It's made up already...despite the facts.

And, no, I don't need to link or back anything up. Intelligent people who know math and geography can look things up.

"every serious count shows that toughest regs=less gun violence"

All I asked is to show the "stats"

I will start with, Chicago, L.A., and Balt. ALL have VERY strict gun laws and some of the highest gun related crimes in the U.S.

VT very FEW GUN LAWS AND SOME OF TH lowest gun related states in the U.S.

"And, no, I don't need to link or back anything up. Intelligent people who know math and geography can look things up

"Your turn to show us how "intelligent" you really are!

Looks like you WILL have to look it up to prove your claim.

Anyone with a need to bring a gun to a children’s playground is definitely someone With a healthy irrational fear, what was he expecting to break up dirt ball fight.

How about the same story making multiple mentions of Warrior 12 apparel, including links to their site, and even serving up their ads mid-page? That doesn't raise any flags?

It's a fake news viral ad taking advantage of a very gullible target market.

How about throwing New Orleans, NYC and Boston in the mix, I know you want to have a fair evaluation. How about throwing in Alaska since you suddenly switched to states.

Where was he before, and after? Also, you can't anticipate when, nor where you will be attacked, or your life threatened. Happens all the time in public places like parks. Nobody is forcing you to have, or carry a gun, so stop trying take away other's rights to do so.

‘Cause no one ever shoots up places where there are a lot of kids, right? (Cough, Columbine, cough, Parkland)

I always carry when taking my kid to the movies or the mall.
