Well, I can't say I'm surprised.

You open carry guys set out on a mission to exercise your rights, which I agree with.

You can't say you're surprised, either.

Sorta like when protestors get arrested.

The difference is, protesters set out with the goal of getting arrested in a huge police sweep specifically to draw media attention, OC'ers just want to exercise their rights while having a peaceful dinner. OC'ers aren't trying to get arrested, draw media attention, force their beliefs on others, etc, etc; they're just trying to be good, honest, law abiding citizens going about their daily lives.

The problem with that logic is that these dinners are held all over the state without incident....so no....nobody went there with the intention of causing problems or getting arrested.

Nobody burned a bra, draft cards nor an American Flag. Nobody chained themselves to a tree.

This dinner was very different from a protest. Nobody was protesting anything, so how can you compare it to a protest?

Yep I was surprised that the ocb did not have a better selection.

My mission was to meet some of the guys that are on the board.

This was the third dinner I had attended.

How many people were "exercising their rights" at the buffet that night?

1?

5?

20?

I just OC'd all day today: Best Buy, Circuit City, Home Cheapo, Toys R Us, Sports Authority, Wal-Mart & 7-11.

No incidents to report.

However, if there were a whole herd with me doing the same thing, why...

Does the count matter? The law does not state it is ok if 2 guys open carry. I was at a oc diner a few months ago. There must have been 35 40 people there. no issues.

OK, and if I am a collector of American flags? Should I avoid getting together with other collectors of American flags? What if patriotism starts to draw too much attention?
