[quote]Cell phone images of a Utah man who went shopping with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a Glock 19c on his hip have gone viral on the internet, with some saluting his boldness and others questioning the wisdom of his decision.
An Ogden woman snapped a few photos of a man standing inside a J.C. Penny on Wednsday nothing that even for a firearm-friendly state like Utah, it was out of the ordinary.
"I've seen someone carrying on their hip or leg, but I have never seen anyone openly carrying an assault rifle," she said.[/quote]

There have been[url=http://www.kobi5.com/news/local-news/item/open-carry-gun-rights-activists-alarm-portland-residents-with-ar-15-s.html] groups of guys dressed in militia wear walking around cities carrying AR15s[/url] to show the public that "reasonable people can responsibly own those types of weapons." They caused panic and overwhelmed the police department with calls from scared residents. Idiots [url=http://www.wcsh6.com/news/article/225820/314/Armed-open-carry-activist-creates-stir-in-Portland-neighborhood?odyssey=tab|topnews|bc|large]like this[/url] give the gun control advocates the best PR they could ask for. All you have to do is mention gun control and redneck will run around town with assault rifles scaring the bejesus out of people and the NRA will publish ads about the presidents daughters.
