Strapped with pistols and AR-15 rifles, at least four men walked through Grand Rapids' Southeast Side Saturday in an effort to promote and "educate" the public on openly carrying guns in public.
One man, who declined to give his name, said if the public sees "somebody walking with a gun, despite everything the media says, there's nothing bad happening." The three other men also declined to give their names, saying they feared "retaliation."
A Grand Rapids police lieutenant said 911 dispatchers received at least one call about the gun-toting men. Officers responded to check out the report, then briefly talked to the men and found no violations.

The article repeatedly mentions four men.
The accompanying photos depict four people, one of whom is shorter than the rest, wearing a skirt with leggings underneath, and carrying an AR with pink furniture.
Is that really a 'man'? If not, why does Mlive conceal the gender diversity of the group after the writer interviewed them?

| Yep, four dudes, just like the reporter said. That is an odd looking kilt he's wearing though. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
