If you think the average person is more comfortable seeing a gun then I encourage you to put one on your hip and go about your normal business for a week. You will notice people noticing you and most of them are clearly not as comfortable as you seem to think. |
That sucks about the guy. But with 30,000 people there are bound to be some idiots in the group. I didn't quite get the part about his possessions being removed "2 knives, car stereo, cell phone, spare magazine, id taken out of wallet"...I mean, was this on him at the time? lol...anyway...
I wonder though, if like you are saying, that most people are not comfortable seeing someone carry a weapon, what that says? Do they understand that someone, anyone, could be carrying a weapon, concealed? Are people ok with that, they just don't want to see it? Or is the average person not ok with any sort of carrying of a weapon in public?
