When I see a policeman wearing a gun, I'm comfortable knowing he/she is trained in it's use and has the public's best interest in mind...I have NO such comfort level around armed civilians w/a point to make...like I said above...people who participate in these displays WRECK the credibility of more sensible people who are in favor of keeping their guns...they are handing the gun control proponents headlines to wave around and say I told you so...

I see what you are saying, I too would not want someone who has a mental issue or wants to do harm to others. But think about this, he's carrying open. People and the leo's now know he's armed. IMO a much better scenario than someone showing up hiding their weapon with bad intents.
I like how you mentioned about training comming into play. would you feel comfortable with someone standing by you who was a CCW liscense who was also armed?
