These open carry clowns in Walmart make it hard to fight the urge to go up and slap them
I don't disagree about open carry, I absolutely loathe it and find it entirely counter productive.

What better way to tell folks not to f*** with you and your arsenal, eh? A little free advertising!
Yeah... if they go that route, I want a registry section that is at least several pages long.
Wait! Oh, crap! Do I have to note grenades and land mines on said registry?!?!?!
I can tell you definitively that advertising your gun ownership is a sure fire way to get your house burglarized. Criminals look for things like "Forget the dog, beware of owner" signs, American flags flying outside (the logic being that those are right leaning people who are more likely to own guns), or basically anything to would lead one to conclude the homeowner owns a gun. Also in areas with a high Asian population they look for shoes on the porch. Asians are more likely to keep cash in their home and not trust banks.
Criminals breaking into your home are looking for 1a: money, 1b: firearms, 2. jewelry, and a distant 3. easily portable electronics. They will carry them out of your house in your pillowcases so if you see a person/persons toting an apparently full pillowcase outside a neighbor's home, call the police. Unless it's Halloween and they're kids, in which case don't.
