NRA blasts Open Carry Texas after San Antonio incidents | Homestead Security | Forums

But the NRA is suppose to support the second amendment, it doesn't matter how they carried as far as they should be concerned, citizens pay money to the NRA to defend that right, it doesn't matter if you or I agree with it, but the NRA should imo. 

Why would the NRA want to support idiots whose stupid and short sighted actions scare innocent people and make the NRA's job harder. Open carry demonstrations have shown to be politically inflammatory and have resulted in lawmakers creating MORE gun restricting laws in response to said demonstrations.

There is a reason the NRA's quote included the words "counter-productive".

To put it another way, the open carry movement helps the anti-gun crowd.

Well, some people don't feel what the NRA has morphed into is productive at all, maybe those idiots are just trying to do what the NRA is suppose to do, stand up for their rights, if it is legal to open carry and they did not break the law, the NRA should never have commented imo

So then should Florida residents establish a "Stand your ground" movement and begin intentionally seeking out opportunities for stand offs?

The right to open carry in TX already exists. They are not "standing up for their rights" they are abusing those rights in a manner that will cause said rights to be revoked.

The Constitution can and has been amended. Scaring families and employees at a Chilli's restaurant "to see what management's reaction will be" when the answer is obvious? Forget restaurant management, that's the exact sort of action that gets lawmakers involved to try to prevent future incidents.
