You can do what you feel is right. I am not stating a de facto ban what I am saying is think about how this will be portrayed and yes you might push some to the other side. I would venture by carrying rifles around the state house you will push more to the other side than to our side. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Look if you want to that is your right. You have to look at this from a marketing stand point in the court of public opinion. You would be better to hand out fliers out lining the facts as to why we have the second amendment what the numbers of law abiding people committing crimes are then. Just walking around downtown around the state house rifle in hand. Like I said these are my opinions on how it should be handled not stating what you feel is right or what you are legally able to do. Just remember this is the biased media and a bunch of uninformed citizens that will be watching you and what do you think they will take away from what you are proposing vs what I have outlined.
