to open carry in areas where large numbers or innocent people are gathered together. Can you not comprehend the difference? If they are too clueless or arrogant to figure out how this could create a dangerous situation for the community, they are too stupid or dangerous to be trusted with guns.
It becomes a public safety issue. If you want to brandish around huge groups of people- do not be shocked the community will react with disgust.
