As open carry of handguns was/is illegal. However it is legal to open carry long guns and they were being used as a protest.

Other than that, others that open carry long guns is just plain idiotic and actually backfires on the open carry movement. I do not favor open carry of any weapon but I can see it in a hot climate as it can be very difficult to properly conceal.

As far as a rifle at burger king scenario. It would be determined by each situation. Slung and behind back, magazine inserted, how is the person acting. In most cases, I do not think I would not leave or call 911 unless there was a threat beyond just a weapon.
