Open carry is not uncommon around here.
When there was an open legislative session whether to pass a resolution in support of the 10th amendment, there were more than a few of those guys that entered the Legislative Office Building with sidearms openly holstered.
Unfortunately, we have a communist in the governor’s office, and the state legislature is dominated by communists, so the resolution did not pass.
However, the local police mostly support open and concealed carry.
It is the truth behind this man’s statement — and the knowledge that he is not alone that worry the Socialists/Communists/Fascists. They know they can’t achieve the control they crave under our laws and that “gun-toting” citizens are the ones protecting those laws ultimately.
