I can not disagree more.
First off, I'm glad you mentioned you were from California through High School, this explains your misunderstanding of firearms and Arizona. I grew up in the desert and firearms were a way of life. By the time most of us were 12, we had been through an NRA safety course and had shot several rounds with our folks. But since you were in California in your earlier years, I can't fault your flawed California thinking, you just don't know any better.
As for the man who brought his firearms to the OUTSIDE of an event, he was within his legal right to do so. His firearms were in plain sight, hung over his back pointing to the ground or holstered in a non-threatening way. He wasn't the only one either. He was exercising a right within our Constitution. When you don't exercise your rights, you lose them. If the 2nd ammendment is outlawed, it wouldn't be long before the other ammendments could be FORCED out.
Since when is it acceptable to ridicule Arizona citizens who dare to protect our state laws and Constitutional rights? This is a good thing. I do not try to take away your right to voice your opinion on such matters, (which is protected by the same document) although I find it harmful and shameful as you see those who own guns as doing so for what's "between their legs". You have learned nothing when it comes to what it means to be from Arizona.
Your views may presently be the mainstream with so many transplants, but it is not the views of those of us who grew up here over 45 years ago. Firearms have their place and when someone is hostile to them or those who own them, it is time to make the public aware of how far we have drifted from a basic right to bear arms and the restriction other states pass while their subjects rejoice in a false safety.
