They must must be solid citizens--they have guns!

Think about it--isn't the premise of open carry that this becomes acceptable behaviour?  People should see someone walking around with a weapon and assume that everything is OK.

Isn't the idea that people are in a state of code yellow?
No specific threat situation. Your mindset is that "today could be the day I may have to defend myself". You are simply aware that the world is a potentially unfriendly place and that you are prepared to defend yourself, if necessary. You use your eyes and ears, and realize that "I may have to shoot today".

    Do you have any proof that they are not? Picture example used.

    "Think about it--isn't the premise of open carry that this becomes acceptable behaviour? People should see someone walking around with a weapon and assume that everything is OK."

    Using that pic example again, this isn't open carry. Its outright brandishing. Open carry states require carry in a holster, not carrying in your hand. A distinct difference. Long guns are properly "holstered" when safely slung on your back with a sling. Open carry is acceptable in more than half of the states, in over forty I believe. So whats your point?

    "Isn't the idea that people are in a state of code yellow?"

    And whose fault is this?
