“Red neck revolt?” For real?I would say carrying a gun to a peaceful protest is just your way of asking for trouble and violence at that protest. Now, that said, if you and many other people carry a firearm to a peaceful protest you and they better damn well make 150% sure that it stays peaceful.
Here's an example. This is the radical Leftist group Redneck Revolt holding a peaceful protest in Phoenix and most of the participants are armed. They remained 100% peaceful and nothing happened.

Had things become the least bit violent, you can bet with all those guns present the results would not have been pretty.
No, everyone does not. Myself for example, only occasionally will when I have to go on a service call to what I call "the gunfire district." If I know the apartment complex is in a particularly iffy part of town, I will carry. Otherwise, no, I won't. There simply is no need to.“Red neck revolt?” For real?
Don’t everyone in Arizona carry?
But carrying a firearm in those States with few restrictions I wouldn’t think was suspicious under any circumstances, just a way of life people there obviously want, you really can’t draw a lineNo, everyone does not.

As for the photo, it is illustrative of my point. Carrying a firearm when you really don't need to is more a risk and liability than a positive or useful thing.
