22. Yet the man open carrying

Was located. He peacefully turned his rifle over to the police. No one was shot in the process. Somehow they were able to tell the good guy, who happened to be black, from the bad guy.

I agree with you about open carry, I am not greatly opposed to it but I think it is not worth the anxiety it causes.

He learned to shoot well that is for sure. riversedge Jul 2016 #1
