PHOENIX, Arizona (CNN) -- A man toting an assault rifle was among a dozen protesters carrying weapons while demonstrating outside President Obama's speech to veterans on Monday, but no laws were broken.

You have me confused now. You said in your post #12 “He was caught at the end of the second video shouting with the pro Obama guys “Health care now”

I’ve seen some shop keepers in bad areas of Cleveland Oh open carry years ago.

I thifnk they were going for the deterrent effect.

I hear you...not cool at all.

I was at the range last weekend and I saw a girl there with a pink .22 I think it was a Sig Mosquito.

Why would you want a pink gun?

Well, I guess it’s okay to be/act ‘girly’ but, hell, that’s what boobs are for! Not to trash up a perfectly good rifle! Again, just damn!

Hell...It’s a lot more sexy to see a chick bust out a .357 Blackhawk and know how to use it! ;)

Sounds like a good plan for a merchant in a bad area. All the personnel working in gun and ammo shops here, open-carry, inside their establishment or immediately outside.

If you were a man with a pink gun, it may be to tell the world that you’re an armed gay man with issues.

This is from another site. Not the one from CNN that is in the post that started this thread. It shows him chanting with the pro Obama crowd. Look at the end of the second video.

I don't see anybody at this your link talking about health care. Looks like they are strictly pro gun rights.

Interesting - the AR is slung right-handed, but the holstered handgun is on his left hip.

Of course it’s legal, just poor judgement.

That is what many on the side of the communists would have American Citizens believe.

Actually it needs to be done to the extent that it is not even noticed such as . . .

or here...

or even here...

or even such an outlandish concept as guns in a school...

“Even if he’s us he is not helping! He singlehandedly changed the subject matter from town halls to calls for more restrictions and restraint.”

So, you believe in cowering to the left and hoping they don’t notice we have firearms and don’t make new laws? How is hiding our firearms and hoping no one makes new laws helping to make us free with more liberties?

Israel’s an entirely different story.Nobody other than soldiers,police and Secret Service should be allowed to be armed when in the vicinity (and,yes,”in the vicinity” needs to be defined) of the POTUS.Including one as repugnant and despicable as the current one.

Is the president so unpopular even amongst his own?

I wouldn't call this guy "one of Obama's own". He seems like a nice guy who can have a friendly rational conversation. And no, I'm not having a Joe Biden "articulate" moment, my point is that he sounds like an intelligent guy, so he's probably a Republican or conservative Democrat never voted for O in the first place.

I wouldn’t know. I wasn’t much of an NWA fan.
