Remove 'legally carrying a licensed weapon' and insert 'same sex making out' and it sure seems like we've had this conversation before.

I'll say Bush when she says Obama, not 0bama, fair enough?

ooh golly clever on the syntagmatic substitution but kissing boys never scared the living shit out of anyone, or had the potential to cause a crowd panic at a public event. except, of course, if the crowd is a bunch of retrograde morons. in which case, fuck 'em.
familiar with the "yelling fire in a movie theater" standard for free speech?

I find it worrying in the extreme that exercising an entrenched right can (supposedly) encite the panic you suggest. As for 'retrograde morons' ... once again, if you can't make your point without resorting to name calling, you've no point to make. Mormons have as much right to their beliefs as you do.

Who pulled a gun, or shouted gun? A guy was standing there, with a gun, in a holster. Fin.
You know what really pisses me off? If that guy was wearing any kind of uniform, noone would even blink twice about it.

if you fail to understand how an openly visible firearm would be upsetting to a good many people in the context of some kinda public rally/political debate type of thingy, you're irrecoverable at this point.
i again refer you to the yelling fire in the movie theater standard. ever heard of that one?
now if you'll excuse me, i have to get back to my systematic oppression of LDS'ers.

Oh, I understand it. Very well indeed. Just like I understand people who drive new cars to the Welfare office while I work 9-5 and drive a clunker. Doesn't disgust me any less, either.
People are 'afraid' of guns because they've signed responsibility for their personal security over to the state, as they've done with any number of things. And are now lining up to do with their personal health. They've accepted that mummy and daddy gov't will protect us all.
Last time I checked, children weren't supposed to vote.

wow. way to overlay a bunch of moralizing nonsense and sloganeering bullshit onto a very simple distinction. mama government blah blah blah yawn gag puke. this ain't the wild west and you ain't clint eastwood. there are contexts where having a firearm in plain view are fine. there are contexts where having a firearm in plain view are simply dumb. some kind of political rally/town hall/wherever, where tempers frequently flare, is an inappropriate venue for open carry. what's next, open carry in divorce court?
Under what law would they have the authority to ask him to leave?

Dunno. How about the two busses that arrived in South Bend with members of ACORN Pennsylvania yesterday?

I'm reading on another site that another camera angle clearly shows a 'matrix agent' style earpiece. That, and his sign wasn't current, but recycled from a 'tea party' months back.

Sorry, but anyone who can't be trusted to carry a weapon based on 'tempers might flare' really shouldn't be out in public at all. After all, he obviously can't be trusted with a baseball bat. Sporting events are far to emotionally charged. Can't drive ... someone might cut him off and make him loose his temper while in control of a 2000lbs guided missile. Obviously can't be trusted to pick a mate ... emotions while in love clearly impair judgement.
Just out of curiosity ... why do you accept so easily that cops and security should be allowed to carry weapons in exactly the situations that J6P isn't?
