...sigh...

To answer the thread title: YES!

Poorly considered tactics scare and offend.

I'm a gun guy. Always (well if starting at age 7 counts as always...) have been.

I won't list my inventory in it's entirety, but I count among my firearms, two AR's.

If I see a bunch of knuckleheads with AR's or AK's or fill in the blank, entering a store or worse a mall, you bet I'm going to be scared and on high alert while taking cover.

If I find later this was the approach to highlight their OC cause I'm just going to be P.O.d.

Not a good way to create good will or a way to win me over.

I don't believe they're all sincere.

I think some are just exhibitionist, emotionally disturbed individuals jumping at a chance to indulge themselves...
