The examples given in the article seem to conflate planned attacks by mentally deranged people that were already banned from owning any firearm with Open Carry participants.

An example or two of actual ordinary citizens open carrying and going instantly berserk would support your implied need for concern.

I'm sure your Google file must have dozens of them from places like Arizona where it's common, right?
