re: #70 CarolJ

Open carry is being pushed because groups on either side of the gun issue always have to pushing an angle. If one such were to say “Everything’s OK in the state of Midlands [fictional name, obviously]. All the candidates now reflect our views and so do the laws.” then membership in that org in Midlands drop off and donations would decrease greatly.

This is also true with many other activist groups. What is feared by the people who work for the group is not defeat but rather demobilization.
