...tell you what....
Take that crap down from my essay on Open Carry and I will come to your defense.
From Opencarry.org, the leading website and resource on the legal open carry of holstered handguns:
http://www.opencarry.org/long-gun-oc/
OpenCarry.org is focused on the right to openly carry properly holstered handguns in daily American life. As such, we do NOT promote the open carry of long guns.
Why do we take this stance? After all, OpenCarry.org co-founders John & Mike as well as most of our members own at least one long gun. But due to urban area issues of muzzle control and lack of trigger guard coverage we do not promote long gun open carry.

In my opinion, long gun open carry (except immediately relating to hunting) is done for shock value and to bait police officers into a (peaceful but politically tense) encounter that is usually videotaped and posted on Youtube.

"Threaten"? Are you really that clueless or do you just pretend for comedy relief?

Folks, don't let this internet lawyer intimidate you with his threats of prosecution.

Yeah, in your mind, the criminal is the guy with the skittles, not the guy with the gun.
