Is today Bizzaro day?

A few weeks ago, we mentione that Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign said that he didn't see a problem with concealed carry.  Now, via Ahab, we read that the Peter Hamm has been talking about open carry.

Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign, the largest U.S. gun control organization, said he doesn't dispute the legal right to carry weapons openly but thinks those who demonstrate for such rights are pushy and aggressive.

This is incredible for two reasons.  First, that Hamm has retreated to the position of the open carrying of handguns as "legal, but uncouth." As Ahab points out, open carry is controversial even in the gun rights crowd.  But secondly, the notion that the spokesman of a gun control organization calls anyone "pushy and aggressive."  How could you get more pushy and aggressive than trying to take away someones privately owned property?
