Political correctness is when people who can lawfully carry a sidearm exposed choose not to do so because it might upset other people. And police officers in lawful open carry jurisdictions who try to arrest (or at least harass) open carriers for upsetting other people.
Absolutely correct, and no worse an example here than NYS. Even the licensed carriers have been bullied into stating so....however, the NY Penal law does not state it is illegal to OC.
There is an old saying, "if you tell a big enough lie, often enough, it will become the commonly accepted "truth"."
