| As the owner of a RAP5 with the black muzzle, I must say that anyone who is running around in public with a milsim marker (or airsoft gun or capgun or whatever) probably deserves what they get. Is it really that hard to keep your gun in the case and leave your grenades in the car until you get somewhere that people are not going to freak out? "Ooops, I walked in to buy a pack of smokes and forgot I was holding my AT-14 officer! Just an honest mistake." Hell I don't even put on my camo shirt until I get to the field in case I need to stop and get gas. Leave 15 minutes earlier and suit up at the field!
There's a reason many states have concealed carry laws but no open carry laws, and it's because a vast majority people are ignorant scaredies and will immediately flip out if they see anything remotely resembling a firearm (or knife for that matter), even if it's securely holstered or slung. Just 100 years ago, no one would think twice to see someone with a gun on their hip in half the country. I wonder if you let (or required) everyone to open carry, if anyone would be concerned? |
