Man in Utah open carries AR15

[Gman]

My mixed feelings came from the way the media portrays ALL guns and gun owners. While completely legal in places, open carry tends to have a stigma associated with it even before the shootings. Open carrying a rifle is almost unheard of in this country and that might be where the name calling started.

With that said, I don't think I would feel comfortable enough to open carry an AR.

I agree with you in that I KNOW I wouldn't be comfortable doing it. I think the guy had some balls for carrying through to make his point.

The media aren't likely to ever come around to our side of the conversation since it doesn't follow their agenda. I'm tired of being concerned about what a bunch of lefties have to say about us. I never felt I needed to be one of the cool kids in school or needed someone else's approval or validation. I go my own way based on my core beliefs. It may not be "cool", but my conscience is clear and I sleep well at night.
