I need to put in another two cents about the open carry. You have the right to carry, and that is a great thing. Those in California had the right to open carry too, but used it to provoke LEO's to force some type of altercation. This went on so much that some idiots got themselves shot because they refused to cooperate with the officer, or made a wrong move when things got heated. Many people found themselves staring down a gun, being arrested, and hassled because they did not act wisely. So what I am saying is choose you battles, and choose the battle grounds even more so. You have the right and it sounds like you can carry there. But at this event there will be some very high emotions, and provoking people who may falsely accuse you, or those with you. Its best to put on our best face and represent the cause. It will be evident to everyone there that we all carry and use guns in a safe, legal and responsible manner. Just my thoughts for what it's worth.
