Yes, of course. That was never questioned. We all agree people have the right to wear what they wish.
The discussion was whether people increase their chances of a crime being committed against them by openly displaying that which the criminal desires.
I have the right to take a handful of money and openly display it to the general public. I contend exercising this right will contribute to the likelihood of it's theft. Even though I have to right to press charges against the thief, if caught, it does not guarantee the return of my property. Law enforcement does not guarantee prevention, only punishment.
Therefore it is prudent and incumbant upon me to keep my valuables out of the public spotlight. To purposely keep from drawing attention to that which I place a high value, thus reducing it's vunerablility to theft.
It's not about an individuals right to do as they please.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
