I just personally dislike guns, and I have good reason for that, but that's irrelevant to this conversation. I just think blatantly carrying them around to be completely unnecessary, distasteful, invites more violent behavior than it stops, and frankly, makes Americans look bad. But that's my personal opinion. Feel free to disagree. You're entitled to yours as well.

Now regarding what happened at the Waffle House, that's a very real story from early May of this year. Again, you can feel free to believe me, or not. That's your prerogative, but you weren't there and I was. I noticed it, because I'm from NJ and someone open carrying where I'm from is not common. My GF, who's from Kentucky didn't even notice it until I pointed it out to her. She just kind of shrugged and said "welcome to Bowling Green."
