I like this line from the article:
OpenCarry.org’s co-founder John Pierce says,
“the police have no more power
to confiscate openly carried handguns that they do
to confiscate openly carried cell phones.”

They should hit the cops with an action under 18USC242 also.

That one has some teeth in it.

“the police have no more power to confiscate openly carried handguns that they do to confiscate openly carried cell phones.”

That's true but they will, and they also confiscate openly carried video cameras.

Guns and audio/video recorders are a potent combination that every citizen should have access to.
