The NRA isn't turning on gun owners, just this bunch of nutcases.

You would not believe all the ones who conceal carry. Would much rather see them out in the open.

Open carry would tend to bring up the guilt in certain ones, thereby making them afraid so yes, they would have a problem with open carry.

From the article :
[ The NRA on Friday called the Texas group's open carry displays in restaurants "weird," "scary," "counter-productive" and "downright foolishness" in a blog post on the NRA's Legislative Action website. Chili's and Sonic issued statements Friday requesting that patrons not openly carry firearms in their restaurants in response to the incidents.
"Using guns merely to draw attention to yourself in public not only defies common sense, it shows a lack of consideration and manners," the NRA's lobbying arm wrote. "That's not the Texas way. And that's certainly not the NRA way."]
I certainly agree with this ! Especially the "downright foolishness " of their display of weapons.

Tactics used by Open Carry Texas are being outlawed by at least six national restaurant chains and criticized by the diehard pro-gun National Rifle Association following recent demonstrations by the group's San Antonio chapter at a local Chili's and Sonic.
The growing grassroots Second Amendment organization has gained national attention with rallies across Texas, including last year at the Alamo, where members openly tote long guns, including semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15. Open Carry Texas chapters have published several videos online in which they walk into restaurants, most recently the two San Antonio establishments, with semi-automatic rifles strapped to their backs, seemingly to test the response of management.
