There are good reasons to carry a loaded gun. None of them apply to the picnic.
The picnic's organizers say the purpose is to educate "the PC crowd" that gun owners are careful and safe. This is rural Wisconsin. Almost every household has at least a hunting gun, knife, and/or bow.
Guns kill. That's what they're for. If you want to attract that kind of thing into your life, that is your right. You ought not to have the right to invite death into a peaceful park. Unless you are law enforcement, it's paranoid and sick to carry a loaded gun into a peaceful park.
This picnic will go on and the town will send cops to stand around and watch this crowd. All the organizers will have accomplished is to have hoisted their rabid loony flag high.
