When I got my first hunting permit in texas, I had to take some online training first. Something I really appreciated is that the online training had a whole section on "how to not be a dick with your firearms, so that anti-gun people don't hate all of us". Obviously they did not call it that, but it was basically that

Well I'm pretty much a second amendment absolutist and think that everybody should have a right to carry guns in public, I 100% agree with this post. People open carrying ARs are doing nothing but creating ill will towards gun culture. They are also, generally speaking, not representing the median gun owner. I know lots of gun owners and exactly zero of them would open carry a weapon in public. A lot of them would concealed carry, but they are all in agreement that open carry is stupid, not useful, and makes everyone hate us

Well said. When it comes to gun rights, it is better to be understated than to scare the crap out of everyday people.
