Little bit of difference between an old lady who refused to give up her seat on a bus and someone carrying a firearm. No one in their right mind can make the argument that an old lady was a threat. No matter what your intentions are, you open carry a firearm into a crowded location, people will be paranoid of your actions.
AZ is an open carry state. Now if you walked around a major metro area with a firearm, how long would it take before you are questioned by police? Open carry or not! Now throw in the fact that it is a major political situation with lots of security.
Lets be realist people, this is not the 1800s.
