You didn't offend me. I'm not sure how open carry relates to this event.

The initial call to LE was to report a guy with a mask, wearing all black, having a long arm on him. This was the 911 call. For those of us who don't live in an open carry state, it's good to know what others see on a daily basis.
 
Have official sources said Gavin Long's race?
 
Wall Street Journal being cited as having the name of the group Long belonged to. WSJ has it behind their paywall, but I trust the IBT and some of the others to have the information cited accurately.

The suspect was from Missouri and was affiliated with an anti-government group called the New Freedom Group, the Wall Street Journal reported. Officials said the suspect, who was reportedly black, was killed during a shootout with police.

I was quoting from the press conference.
 
If he is part of a group...that makes me wonder if there are other people involved in this incident in one way or another.

What does, "According to Person Briefed on Investigation" mean?

And...
Has anyone ever heard of this New Freedom Group?

I tried to Google it, and got a bunch of listings for alcoholics anonymous meetings.

Even in open carry states, it's rare to see someone carrying.

I'm taking this information with a grain of salt. Could be a rumor designed to deflect from the truth. JMO

I don't know how you might know suspicious vs. non-suspicious.

I think a very good indicator in this case as to whether they were suspicious or not was to see someone dressed in all black or maybe also in a mask in the summertime in BRL where the high heat and humidity is insufferable.

I have grown up around guns all of my life but I have never seen anyone toting rifles up and down the street unless they are inside of their trucks on a rack during hunting season or they just bought one at a hunting store and are bringing it out of a store. I do see quite a few citizens who have handguns in a holster on a pistol belt. They are easy to see. In fact if I go into a restaurant and there isn't any police officers there at the time if some gentlemen or ladies has theirs on, I feel much much safer. That is why I don't go to stores that restrict legal firearms altogether or puts a sign on the window they are gun free zones. Some stores are so strict about it they wont even let police officers who are on duty come in with their legal service weapons. Of course at times these stores get held up too and then they want the officers to come.

Weren't there also some openly carrying weapons during the Dallas BLM protest?

Several have said they are going to show up with their weapons at the RNC starting tomorrow. Kasich said there isn't anything he can do about it so lets hope those with firearms will be like those in Dallas and don't plan on shooting anyone.
 
I'm edgy as ****

This is not a nice time to be newly widowed. I can't imagine what it must be like for all those who lost loved ones to terrors attacks and violence. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a spouse of a police officer in the US.

Sorry for the slight O/T but I realised I hadn't eaten because I had been following here all day. And went for a walk to get food. I was constantly looking over my shoulder and at faces of people I walked past. Even in my relatively quiet little hamlet I'm spooked and jumpy.

I'm a 'recovering' (work in progress) agoraphobic. Never has shutting myself away again felt more and more appealing, but I promised myself, and for my late DH I would not. Ugh
