Although I personally am not a supporter of open carry for philosophical reasons, as related to myself and carry.
I am though happy and even excited to see such good and basically positive press free of histrionics and factoids being presented by the media while also allowing the gentleman featured time to get his point across which he does clearly and also without histrionics.

America needs more of this.

My only comment as a complaint is why do people in general and the media in specific commonly use the term "toting" and 'packin' to describe what is actually more properly 'carry' of a firearm?
Use the proper term especially when in a professional mode on the job as this newscaster was, rather than going to slang terminology.
In the BHE courses I instruct we teach "Firearm Carry" techniques, but not 'gun totin', 'gun packin' nor 'gun slingin'.
