Legal? sure. But I can't say openly carrying a gun around at a protest of a President's speech is a good idea. -- (link)

and the sign referencing Jefferson's quote about watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants isn't particularly reassuring. (www.huffingtonpost.com)

Do they mean "concealed" in that article, rather than "unconcealed"? -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:51 17
- no. he's carrying it openly, which is allowed on private property, apparently. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:52 1
  - and the link to the TPM article has a still of the gun and holster. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:53
- no, you need a special permit for carrying concealed. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:52 14
  - So you can walk around, gun in your hand, totally legal? But if you store it in your pocket without a permit, you're breaking the law? -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:53 13
    - as long as you're on private property twith the owner's permission, in New Hampshire, yes. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:55 3
      - (at least, that's the impression I'm getting from the article) -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:57 2
        
        furthermore, it's not "in hand" but carried openly in a holster. - znufrii Aug 11, 10:58 1
        
        Ah ok, that makes a little more sense. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 11:02
    - These laws vary greatly from state to state. -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 10:55
    - it varies according to the state. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:55 6
      - That's crazy. Say you're walking down the street, and you're the nervous type, in a rough neighbourhood, so you bring your gun, without a permit to - Loyola Aug 11, 10:58 5
        
        If you're openly carrying a gun, the police would probably ask to see your permit -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 11:02
        
        if it's concealed, they're not gonna see it in the first place. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:59 3
        
        But you pull it out anyway in case they stop and frisk you. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 11:00 2
        
        normally you don't get frisked for nothing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 11:04
        
        see my distinction above re: brandishing versus open carry. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 11:00
    - As long as the weapon is legal (registered and all), yes. That's how it sounds. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 10:54
"We'd like to have a word with you..." - Secret Service Aug 11, 10:51 1
- and the wording of the sign could easily be interpreted as a threat of violence and/or desire for martyrdom. - znufrii Aug 11, 10:54
