I just returned from Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, where private security guards walk around with as much weaponry as a soldier in Iraq. I can tell you that seeing guns everywhere does NOT make normal people feel safe. It was a great relief to return to the U.S. and visit gas stations, grocery stores and banks without firearms and violence hanging over every moment. Guys like this have their weapons and their rights, but "Open Carry" feels like it's starting to infringe on my rights to not be intimidated in public areas.
