Of course we'll be carrying. I don't see any reason they couldn't bring a camera. And If starbucks ended up having an issue with it there's always the sidewalk.

Lol, I'm glad you contacted fox 4, I had thought about it but I wasn't sure if everyone would be comfortable with possibly being put on T.V., this media thing is exciting.

We'll see if they post it up on their site, but fox 4 you should still be able to get local.

Sitting down to watch it just now. They just gave a headliner "It's called the open carry law and it may change some things you think about guns, that and more at 9"

They just did a sort little expo on it. Sounded pretty decent. One thing they said "You can Openly Carry PORPERLY REGISTERED guns." Not true, don't have to register.

Supposed to have more at 10, and opinions of some of the by standers and patrons of starbucks.

watching at 10

I just caught the 9pm bit which led me here in the first place. I'm interested to see the 10pm part - the reporter's "see very different reactions" line has me curious to see if people were upset.

Just saw the 10pm bit. They talked with two bystanders. One appeared to be a teenager, though I'm a terrible judge of age; her reaction was "I'd rather not see it". The other was an adult who stated that she agreed with the lawful exercise of rights. Surprisingly fair piece, really, I expected them to pull out some fear tactics about people walking around with guns.

Yes! That was extremely positive in my opinion! The young lady at the end "I feel safer seeing the gun carried openly than hidden." or along those lines was a great sum up. Good job guys!

The end of the report was what made it a good day. Having a citizen say that she was happy that we were there made it all worth while.

Wonderful ending, good fair report. Sad it was so short.

Only two things wrong, the properly registered part, and the can OC with a proper permit part. But oh well, not too big of a deal.

Wonderful exposure. Next time I will be sure to show up on time. Somehow got confused and thought it was at 6. Missed my camera time :p
