N.R.A. Backs Away From Criticism of Open-Carry Advocates - NYTimes.com

N.R.A. Backs Away From Criticism of Open-Carry Advocates - NYTimes.com: "The National Rifle Association on Wednesday sought to distance itself from an article on its website that called demonstrations by gun rights advocates who brandished weapons in public “scary” and “weird,” and said such advocates had “crossed the line from enthusiasm to downright foolishness.”

The 1,500-word article and the subsequent denunciations in the past week are an unusual public disagreement inside the N.R.A. about the tactics of protesters — particularly in Texas — who have shown up with shotguns and rifles in parking lots and inside stores and restaurants to assert their right to openly carry firearms."
