Just to be sure I hear you right, open carry rights in a benign situation like a car camp campground in Yosemite trump the quiet enjoyment of the park by those visiting and you would carry openly in a car camping campground even though it would upset those camped around you?


Short answer yes, more precisely I say that because I go back to people having completely the wrong attitude, you say trump the quiet enjoyment but how is that? how does an extra piece of equipment on a person make any difference what so ever, it only does in the mind set of those around you and I will always feel that fear is irrational and I do no good to myself, those people or my country to surrender my rights without an absolutely good reason.

To put it in another way, if there were numerous cases around America of shootings involving people doing open carry I might understand peoples fear and give them some space in benign situations, but without that I cannot.

Lets put forth a great example, Americans have been so pumped full of propaganda about the evil Muslims that they feel uncomfortable and feel fear when one gets on an airplane with them, now should that lets say man not wear a turban because it makes people around him uncomfortable? should he not even fly at all? is the feelings those people feel even right? should he surrender his rights his beliefs or his comforts because of irrational fear?

I hope your getting the point I am trying to make because if you don't then all this discussion just becomes in vain, you will take me as a person that has no regard for others and that couldn't be further from the truth but like I said a couple pages back in comes down to choice to carry or not, if people who are against it can come up with anything other then it makes me uneasy or a basis of uneasiness that can be considered justified then I may consider it more seriously.
