Would knowing that an open carry advocate with an assault rifle inside a business, deter a robber?

Sure.But you mark my words,some one is going to get some weird rational to start shooting these people.I fear that some one will find a perch a pick off a few of these nuts.They are nuts because they are drawing unnecessary attention to them selves.What embolden them now will prove to be a very unwise action.You can bet they are being photographed,license plates traced and they will all find them selves on a list they will never be aware of.These boys obviously do not know the art of war.I'd love to play poker with these fools.They are laying their cards on the table for all to see.I would think subversion would serve them better.When your enemy is large and you are small,he is slow and you are fast.But these rocket scientist are waving their freedom in the wrong peoples faces.They will live to regret their behavior.I guess the feel powerful,but they are really making themselves weak.They are putting a bull's eye on their backs.Like I said mark my words things will go sideways and they'll be telling a judge about their rights.They are playing with fire,and they will get burned.

Shh! How dare you apply logic to such a sacred situation! Belief in guns is what will keep you safe, you know. Now, go buy one and carry it everywhere!

So basically what you are saying is that bad guys don't follow the law...thanks for stating the obvious.
