Well what if we turned this around a little...How about if any of the BayouShooter members are sitting outside or playing in the front yard and you look up and see a guy or gal walking down the street in civilian clothes with a slung AR or AK along with a mag in the rifle and several extra mags on his waist also some sort of sidearm???
What would a BayouShooter Member do?
1. Gather your family in the house and lock and load while dialing 911?
2. Lock and Load and take aim until the person is out of site?
3. Grab your rifle and sidearm and join them?
Just a question...Personally no matter what they look like...I would probably do both 1 & 2 because certain things like this have the ability to promote hostility and anxiety in others. Not to mention anyone that is not armed that doesn't live by these rules.
Also...What if this person is Black or Middle-Eastern or something really intimidating in appearance...?
I guess what I'm saying is that people have evolved greatly both Good and Bad so people are very hard to judge these days on their immediate emotional status or body language.
Just suppose you recently attended some sort of instructional class to update your skills with your own weapons and you happen to be Super-Aware of everything going on around you.
I personally don't like Open-Carry because I believe it puts everyone on guard or uneasy. Sure it's your right, but know when you use your judgement/intelligence properly.
Simply by exercising your rights can actually make others feel like their rights or safety is being stepped on with something like this. Just like the rules and guidelines behind your CHP.
When I got back stateside from the military conflicts in my Army Career...I had no problem walking around Everyday America without my rifle or sidearm 24/7 and I didn't feel a need to prove that I could do it because of what I was exposed to in the past.
Only my thoughts...
