ChickOn2 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 They had folx both on the patriotic side and the anti-president side, openly carrying. Perfectly legal in Arizona. *shrugs*Although it's a perfect opportunity for the Secret Service to run your face through it's Facial Recognition software.. as long as you got nothing to hide.. do what you do.

ChickOn2 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Matter of fact, in Arizona, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, New Mexico, Kentucky, Vermont, West Virginny and Virginny.. you can open carry all day long, no license is required.

fusion Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 meh nothing news worthy about the guys with their handguns open carried especially in Arizona. The AR-15 though screams attention whore especially at a protest over health care. If it where a town hall where there was discussion over gun ownership rights sure, but here it acts as nothing but a distraction to the issue at hand.

I'm for people having rights, but to demonstrate them for no other reason than "because I can" is kind of a dick move in this instance.

Rod38um Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Glad to see people out exercising their rights........ Wonder what happens when the laws start changing to demonize gun owners?

Uncle Punk Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 No more of a dick move than you expressing your first amendment rights of free speech. This was at a presidential rally and he has the ability to sway gun rights for a long time, the guy could have seen this as his only chance for an audience with the president. I would hope that the president is not only putting his efforts toward heath care but other things as well and this guy might not be happy with the president’s efforts so far pertaining to the second amendment. I don't know but I will guess that him openly carrying at a "health care rally" might be something of a statement to the effect that the second amendment is there as a means to protect the others. Some people are not taking kindly to the government’s intrusion into their lives or a takeover of a large percentage of the economy and maybe it was just his way of making a statement without saying a word. Maybe he was telling them to watch their step. I'm not saying that this stupid government health care scheme is violating any of the amendments but it certainly is an intrusion into our lives.

InyaAzz Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 These folks never came near the President. Yes, they were 'outside' the Town Hall or whatever meeting his was having, but they were never allowed 'on-site'. Any where the Secret Service is protecting the President is considered a federal 'site' and open carry, or carry of any kind is not allowed.They got their point across...but best believe they were being closely watched.

fusion Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Amazingly if this had been at one of Bush's, the protestors would have been herded into Free Speech zones and he would have been arrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
