So far, these events do a lot more harm than good. I've been an NRA member for close to 40 years and I'm a strong advocate for gun rights. However, these events usually make gun owners look like a bunch of fringe element whackos. Just like the fringe element taking their assault rifles into family restaurants as a demonstration of gun rights. My first reaction if I saw someone coming in a restaurant where I was eating with my family would be to draw my concealed handgun and get ready to shoot. They're a bunch of weirdos making the rest of us look bad. Count me out too.
