However for some unknown reason police officers with holstered weapons do not cause this same phenomenon.

It's the ol' ostrich/head-in-the-sand/fingers-in-the-ears method of living in your own little world. Apparently some people will simply pee their pants in horror upon the mere sight of a firearm (unless it's carried by a cop ). For these people, simply hiding the firearm will instantly ease their fear, much like an ostrich sticking it's head in the sand in a pathetic attempt to hide from a predator. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.

If I was that terrified of guns I think the best course of action would be to move out of PA and into NY or NJ. Here in PA we value our personal freedoms and our right to self-preservation. If guns scare you so much move some place where they are heavily restricted. Of course the states with the tightest gun laws also have the highest rates of violent crime, but that's of no concern to someone who is already obviously not very familiar with the concept of logic and critical thinking.

the funniest thing is, there was at least one person open carrying at the sonic meet and no one even noticed.

well said. if you don't like it, leave. lol. all the ignorant sheep flock to those states (NY, NJ, etc) because they think it's 'safe'. they genuinely think that by outlawing or severely restricting gun ownership, criminals are just going to turn in their weapons and go home. in reality, it just limits peoples' rights so severely that criminals are allowed to go about their business unchecked.

i was one of the ones from this forum and there was another guy, older... maybe 50-ish... who was OCing as well. there were probably more, who knows. i sure didn't see every single person who attended. lol.
