No, we were talking about rational reactions to firearms being carried openly. Its the gun you have a problem with, not the person. Oh, and cops are citizens. They just happen to get paid for a job they're not responsible to do, protect us.

YOU would find it threatening, but you strike me as a bit of a boy in the bubble kind of person...
The entire point of carrying a gun openly, is to show that you're armed.
The reason you carry openly is, traditionally, it is against the law to carry concealed. And this only applies to a small percentage of firearms: handguns. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
