"Ted Jarosh, who describes himself as a strong defender of the right to own and legally carry guns, said last week he will ask the city attorney Tuesday whether the city could classify certain acts of so-called open carry as disturbing the peace."

Just as President Obama is a "strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment". What a pathetic liar. I can just hear this guy saying "Who you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?"

No one needs to justify exercising their Constitutional rights.

...legally carry guns....

Guess it depends on what the definition of legal is.

Ted Jarosh, who describes himself as a strong defender of the right to own and legally carry guns

Let's see: concealed carry is already illegal where Ted Jarosh is. Ted Jarosh wants to make open carry illegal. Exactly how is Ted Jarosh defending the right to legally carry guns by making every manner of carrying guns illegal?

"Carrying a firearm just to incite the public or prove that you have the right to do it, that is a misuse of the law," Jarosh said.

Driving a car around town just because you have the right to do it, that is a misuse of the law.

Barbequeing out on the grill when you have an oven in your house, well that is a misuse of the law.

Going to Burger King over McDonalds just because you can, well that's a misuse of the law.

Freely choosing to do one legal thing over another legal thing, well thats just a misuse of the law.

“Carrying a firearm just to incite the public or prove that you have the right to do it, that is a misuse of the law,” Jarosh said.

And who makes Mr. Jarosh the arbiter of the reason why I or anyone else is carrying a gun?

Let’s remember that carrying a gun is a RIGHT. What must be justified is restricting that right, not the use of it.

Nope. he was ticketed for OBEYING the law! The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!

Even here in the Peoples' Republic of Kalifornia I can do that.
