MSNBC has a piece on open carry...

...and I really don't have much to say about it. It is pretty typical of the source in its attempt to portray dissension among gun owners on the issue.

What caught my attention was a comment from Brady's Paul Helmke's comment

“I think the gun lobby is starting to lose its clout,” Helmke said.

Your wishing it Paul don't make it so. I think the "gun lobby's clout" is about where it always has been. The shenanigans the members of the Senate went through to avoid pissing off the NRA while still trying to kill the national carry amendment shows the clout they have and the clout you don't.
