Open carry vs CC

While legal, in my opinion, it was not too smart.

The problem I have with open carry at a political event is some of the well organized union opposition could make the person a target.

Get the cameras rolling, have a crowd of 20 or so cluster around the armed individual, close in, cops not there yet, a little low pushing, the individual makes a grab for the gun and the crowd saves the day by beating him down and taking the gun - all shown on the 6:00 local news and national in the next half hour.

With CC - nobody knows.
