A solution to the open-carry protest problem

This sounds like what our forefathers warned us about.
When the word "patriot" puts you on a terror list, something is definitely wrong in Mayberry.

GS, loved the link. Well thought out and reasoned. I'd be up for some of that, give me a reason to break out all those dress clothes I paid for when I was job hunting!

Bloomberg's return to private business also comes after the most visible gun control group he supports, Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America, only managed to convince five businesses--Chipotle, Jack in the Box, Chili's, Sonic, and Target--to ask law-abiding citizens to come to their stores unarmed. Moms Demand was able to get a sixth business--Starbucks--to ask customers who openly carry firearms not to be so flamboyant about it.
On the other side of the coin, Breitbart News recently reported that 57,000 businesses were fighting this push by putting a "guns welcome" sign on their front doors.
Seems things are not the doom and gloom that some predicted. Ground lost? No ground gained.

According to Armed American Radio, Kroger's is receiving more calls from mom's demand action than us.
They're asking us to call 1-800-576-4377 ext. 3 and thank them for not caving into Bloomberg's lies and please thank them for standing up for freedom.

The open carry of long guns in the news recently hasn't done anything positive for our cause. Unless I've missed something each reaction from corporate offices has been to ban it. A majority of comments heard from the public agree. That's a step in the wrong direction.
Maybe we should get folks used to seeing small guns, ie;, handguns, on our hips without panicking before we break out the AR's and AK's? I don't know what the answer is but it's kind of obvious carrying long guns in public isn't working.

I'm not sure how 'effective' open carry is at changing anyone's mind. I am sure that it is their right. People say stuff all the time that I don't like. Are these remarks always wise, advisable, nice, helpful, decent, etc? No. Is it their right to say it anyway? Almost always. What I like isn't the determining factor on others liberty.
Really that simple. A right is a right, how popular it is among the rest of the population isn't the question. Now being a decent person that doesn't go out of your way to upset or offend others is a separate issue.
