Our recent poston a new poll indicating that more that 52 percent of the country is opposed to allowing the open carry of loaded guns in public has left some readers questioning the integrity of the findings. The survey, some note, was commissioned by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence (which itself is adamantly opposed to open carry), and it was conducted by Lake Research Partners, a Democratic polling firm.
