Can you either stop using this example or get it right? When white rednecks in TEXAS (you know, that weird State with the Open Carry Law) show off their guns in a Target, it's 'exercising a right'. If a black man did the same thing in Texas, he'd have the same right. It's a dumb law, to be sure. When a black guy in Ohio (which DOES NOT have an Open Carry Law) picks up a BB Gun in a WalMart, and then is shot when not putting it down, one can figure that there may have been racial overtones and an overreaction...but it's still not the same as Texas' Open Carry Law (again, which seems like a really, really dumb idea to me.) I would imagine that if a white person in Ohio was playing around with a gun in a walmart, someone would likely call as well.
