Most of this country has a law called "open carry". This means you can openly (not concealed) carry a gun anywhere you want to... it's perfectly legal.
For example, Oregon is an open carry state... you can pack a gun on your hip or over your shoulder almost anywhere in the State.
Here is a site that has the laws for each state: Concealed Firearm Permit Information By State
Elections do have consequences.... and the consequence of the last election could be the best thing that has happened to this country for a long time, the end of the liberal movement.... I think the vast majority of the people of this country now have their eyes wide open.Democrats have been flaming law abiding citizens how carry a gun and speak out against the President's lies, all while defending child prostitution and promoting taxation without representation to "solve" a problem which has been proven not to exist.
Elections have consequences.
Legal yes but there's a time and a place. You have a right to drink but would you show up to your son's school drinking a bottle of whiskey? You're expressing your constitutional rights about something unrelated.
Would you expect anything else?

They are protecting their interests at the expense of propriety and decency.
So no.
Politicians.
About carrying guns to town hall meetings...
What exactly is the point of bringing a gun especially when one guy brought one within proximity to where the president was going to be.
One guy was arrested carrying a knife to the president's town hall meeting and had a loaded gun in his truck.
Defending child prostitution? Sounds like the ACORN employee was trying to find ways for the "ring" to hide their activities.
Also taxation without representation? I didn't know congress was dissolved.
and I bet you think if anybody opposes Dear Leaders policies we must be Racist :roll:Ignorant white, poor and middle class voters who are not sophisticated enough to discern what issues are important to their livelyhoods and what issues are red herrings designed to distract them.
Mr. Obama took great pains to act as if he barely knew about Acorn. In fact, his association goes back almost 20 years. In 1991, he took time off from his law firm to run a voter-registration drive for Project Vote, an Acorn partner that was soon fully absorbed under the Acorn umbrella. The drive registered 135,000 voters and was considered a major factor in the upset victory of Democrat Carol Moseley Braun over incumbent Democratic Senator Alan Dixon in the 1992 Democratic Senate primary.
Mr. Obama's success made him a hot commodity on the community organizing circuit. He became a top trainer at Acorn's Chicago conferences. In 1995, he became Acorn's attorney, participating in a landmark case to force the state of Illinois to implement the federal Motor Voter Law. That law's loose voter registration requirements would later be exploited by Acorn employees in an effort to flood voter rolls with fake names.
In 1996, Mr. Obama filled out a questionnaire listing key supporters for his campaign for the Illinois Senate. He put Acorn first (it was not an alphabetical list). In the U.S. Senate, Mr. Obama became the leading critic of Voter ID laws, whose overturn was a top Acorn priority. In 2007, in a speech to Acorn's leaders prior to their political arm's endorsement of his presidential campaign, Mr. Obama was effusive: "I've been fighting alongside of Acorn on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote in Illinois, Acorn was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work."
But the Obama campaign didn't appear eager to discuss the candidate's ties to Acorn. Its press operation vividly denied Mr. Obama had been an Acorn trainer until the New York Times uncovered records demonstrating that he had been. The Obama campaign also gave Citizens Consulting, Inc., an Acorn subsidiary, $832,000 for get-out-the-vote activities in key primary states. In filings with the Federal Election Commission, the Obama campaign listed the payments as "staging, sound, lighting," only correcting the filings after the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review revealed their true nature.
The guy wasn't at a town hall meeting.
What exactly is the point of bringing a gun to one of these events? Other than intimidation I don't see any need.Assuming carrying a gun in a government building were not a felony and someone actually did this, then I would say that the purpose of carrying a gun is not for you to even ask. How dare you assume you have a right to know.
Where was his truck?
Neither did I, when did this happen?
He was within the vacinity of where the president was going to be.
Also his statements later on about how he thinks Obama should die. Again there's a time and a place.

In a parking lot outside the event. The guy was scoping out the area and tried to see if he could get through with a knife. He got caught.
You said taxation without representation. Unless congress is dissolved I'd say you're wrong about taxation without representation.
