Its sad...
the minds of the american public have been so brainwashed to instantly think guns are evil and that anyone who arms themselves open or concealed is evil. I wish this wasnt the case but the only way to start the trend back in the other direction is to carry as often as possible and educate the uneducated when appropriate and necessary. Even a good portion of LEO's have been suckered into thinking the everyday citizen shouldnt arm themselves. I saw on TFL just the other day where an LEO informed a member that asking a law abiding citizen to identify themselves simply because they are open carrying a firearm was perfectly fine. His reason was that it was "policy and procedure". Luckily policy and procedure dont apply to me because I dont work at the police station. If the law says i dont have to then they would be better of just saving their breath because its not gonna happen. I enjoy my freedom too much for something like that. I hope no matter what your friend or anyone else says you continue to legally carry a firearm. Good luck and be safe
