I disagree. HB12 had majorly stalled in the Senate. We started open carry walks. Then just a few days after an open carry walk was done in then Senate President White's home town the CCW bill started moving again. I don't consider an open carry walk confrontational. It a public visual demonstration much like breast cancer walks, pro life marches, or anti doemestic violence candle light vigils. We never caused and disruption to local commerce, blocked traffic or sidewalks, or vandalized anything, unlike the liberal hippies back in the 60's. To my knowledge all of the open carry walks, including the one I organized in Cincinnati, were done with full cooperation and disclosure of information to the police prior to their taking place. There was absolutely no confrontation at all. They were to bring the spot light to the issue in a visual way and get the public, media (who love a good video clip or picture), and politicians engaged and talking about the issue.jeepzilla wrote:BTW, the effectiveness of confrontational tactics went out in the 70's. Lawmakers today find those demonstrations offensive and they have a negative impact on the lawmaker's thinking. Ask any of them.
I am glad that back on July 4th, 1776 there were some men in this country that were not afraid to use "confrontational" tactics when necessary and required.
BTW, I'm confused by your "cruising for a bruising" and "better follow the law" statements. According to the law we have to open carry on MC's or public buses since they are motor vehicles. No one can arrest you for open carry since you are following the letter of the law.
