Manners

I agree with Breda and her sensible advice about manners while exercising your open carry rights.  Being annoying, or scary, to people that don't think about rights much is a good way to inspire reactionary action in the political arena and voter's booth with a majority of people that otherwise wouldn't care.   It's a way to win the battle, but lose the war.  And over something critical like individual rights.

Does it suck we have to walk on eggshells among the straights so as not to offend over something that should be almost as natural as breathing?  Yes.  Most certainly.  Should we be unfailing nice about it anyway?  Yes.  Especially since our side is winning.  Gracious in victory.  3 and a half yards every time you snap and run the ball is a surer means to victory than one risky hail-Mary pass on first down.

Oh, and:
