Those have been my experiences as well, Sefner. Getting ready to go to a big open carry picnic next weekend. There's normally 30 to 50 of us. We have a couple of speakers. Local police usually come - not to arrest or harass us but to socialize with us. A couple TV stations usually cover the event. We do it in a pretty bad part of town. Our first there was right after a shooting. The local residents of the apartment complex appreciate us doing our picnics there because the riff raff seems to disappear for a while after our get togethers.
