I remember the outrage I felt when I read the first story about a store banning firearms. I still do but I have done a bit more investigating and while I still disagree I am a bit more understanding. Also, as I look into these incidents I think there is something more behind the scenes in play.
I grew up with guns and I love shooting. However if I walked into Target and saw a group of guys with AKs and ARs I would probably just turn around and exit. However, if I saw the same group of guys with 45s holstered at their waist I’d think nothing of it. Perception is everything and it seems in every one of these instances they are not carrying hunting rifles but an “assault” rifle to push a button. I can be at the range, have a thousand guns around, and never think twice. Someone carrying a rifle at Sears I have to think twice. Is this just a bunch of yahoos doing the wrong thing for the right reason? Perhaps there is a reason and not the one on which everyone focuses. What if they are really there to damage the gun rights movement.
