The National Rifle Association is speaking out against (Open Carry) groups, saying using guns to draw attention to yourself in public shows "a lack of consideration and manners"...
OK, my 2¢, I am not a fan of the antics of OCT or Grisham; but I don't think the NRA should be speaking against something that is Constitutionally-allowed and is legal, especially claiming it shows a "lack of consideration and manners."
I have never been a big fan of the NRA, I know the organization does a lot to progress gun rights; but every time something like this from them, I wonder what their priorities really are.
This is not about a popularity contest, it is a fight for what should be inalienable rights!

NRA Criticizes Open Carry Advocates
"...It's downright weird and certainly not a practical way to go normally about your business while being prepared to defend yourself. To those who are not acquainted with the dubious practice of using public displays of firearms as a means to draw attention to oneself or one's cause, it can be downright scary. It makes folks who might normally be perfectly open-minded about firearms feel uncomfortable and question the motives of pro-gun advocates."
