One more for now. I'll find the videos as soon as I can.
==================================
Ok, but I've seen a couple dozen of these open carry walks now and in the vast majority of cases the gun owner was rude and dismissive at best, or downright scornful and "prick"-ish at worst. And everything in between.
In the one instance where somebody (a woman) handled it pretty close, but not exactly the way I would have, she was excoriated in the comments by people basically telling her to tell the cops to *** off.
I want to be known to the police as one guy in their jurisdiction that they will never have any problem with whatsoever. If there were dozens like that, think of the conversations these officers could have at family gatherings when 2A people are being blasted by their leftist relatives.

There is a marked difference between being an a-hole and standing up for your Constitutionally-protected, God-given right. LE doesn't have the right to force you to give up your rights because THEY want to be pricks, either. When they KNOW they are doing it, and when you calmly but respectfully make them aware that you are fully aware of your rights, they will back down 99% of the time. And FWIW, I'm former LE.
