In principle, yes, it would be a good move. Going in armed, responsibly, and not "shooting up the place" SHOULD be a positive contribution to our cause.
However, the reality is that we live in a world where the lib side will use this in a negative light as fuel to their fire.
It is ridiculous that he got "banned" even though no laws were broken or anything of the sort though. I sent Kroger a nice, friendly little message telling them how I felt about their actions.

Kroger is free to ban him, but we need to stop acting like hiding is the key to survival.

I have carried , handled and made my living with weapons since I was 17 years old...now an old man, Perhaps I missed something along the way but I have never and still do not see anything positive that comes from flaunting weapons in peoples faces ... it comes across as a challenge or dare for someone to say something..it doesn't prevent anything...if some guys wants to rob the place and sees your weapon in plain view, if he is determined , he will simply approach you from the blind side and kill you first, then he'll have another weapon to carry out his plan.
Carrying that way as a form of protest " in an organized protest or support march" is one thing scaring people is a whole different issue...if you think that outwardly forcing the public to see you have a weapon makes you look important, or manly or like a protector..you are very wrong and the only person you are fooling is yourself. The general public in the store with their families see you as a totally irresponsible individual, a bully and a potential threat and if they are sitting on the fence of being pro or anti gun...you just pushed over the wrong side.
To do something like this in the current atmosphere is incredulously stupid as it only fuels the fire of the anti gun movements and makes gun owners look like the stereo types that the anti gunners claim we are.

I haven't heard the complete story from the manager or the douche bag but I have a feeling the kid earned his ban.
I totally agree that instead of hide our every move and sit back and hope these laws don't pass against our 2A we as responsible gun owners should flaunt to an extent that the overwhelming majority of us mean no harm. I am not saying that is the best way to do it, but if someone wants to walk around with a AR sling over their shoulder more power to them. A gun is a gun is a gun. We need to get the ideology that they are evil out of peoples heads regardless of how they look. I am sure there are better ways to do this, but really it is the same as OCing a handgun.
Guess you wont be joining us in College park...that place is full of gay blacks..lol
