And it's very easy and convenient to turn this back on the OP for open carrying. Poor argument and poor reasoning

For my part, I wasn't blaming the OP for bad judgement when he walked into the store while open-carrying. What the deputy did was reprehensible and needs to be addressed to keep the moron from repeating this kind of action in the future.
I did express my feeling that open-carry sometimes sends the wrong message to a lot of folks out there in the world, and I'm not sure that it helps the cause of gun rights sometimes. When only a few do it, it makes those those who do appear to be eccentric oddballs and therefore scary to other people.
