To be honest, I'm surprised that there haven't been more racially motivated public incidents in the US since Trump was elected (eg protests at police brutality against blacks with the KKK turning up etc). It can only get worse from here surely.
FWIW, sitting the UK, I can't get my head around how any country can think it's OK for people to attend high sensitive protests/rallies carrying guns legally. Barking mad.
Open Carry is legal in some states which is fine. However a bunch of people gathering for a demonstration while openly carrying weapons can always be viewed as a threat to the public safety.
Even if open carry is legal it’s still possible to properly and legally stop it from happening if it’s going down a dangerous road.
I do think States where the police are afraid to engage with protestors because even if they are breaking the law they are open carrying should probably change their laws.
