MSNBC is having an on air meltdown over a man their camera crew videotaped openly carrying a handgun at an anti-Obama protest in Portsmouth, New Hampshire this morning near where Barack Obama will be holding a town hall meeting later today.

MSNBC showed footage of the man with the gun openly holstered to his right leg. He was holding a large sign with words about the tree of liberty.

The Portsmouth police chief informed MSNBC the man was legally armed.

The man was reportedly standing with a group of protesters on the property of a church.

More as this develops.

Actually he is making a point.

Don’t the Kenyan’s bodyguards and the police have guns?

Why can they have guns and not law-abiding citizens?

Let SEIU, Acorn, the Black Panthers, and all the rest learn from this and back off.

Sounds like good self-preservation advice.

However, self-preservation is not always top priority. As the proverb goes, “the coward’s mother does not weep.”

Some folks don't seem to understand that it doesn't matter how you dress, what you say, or what you carry. There is no compromise with the left. They want to take your guns, stifle your speech and steal your income. No amount of nicey-nice, marketing or compromise is going to get the state-run media to portray you in a favorable light.

Running away and hiding instead of demonstrating that in some parts of the country guns are a way of life is why we keep losing.

>> because of the negative publicity.

Valid arguments can be made either way. If a concealed weapon was legally used in defense, the ‘publicity’ would argue that visibility would have deterred the assault.

What represents Christs word?

Holy Spirit thru studying the Holy Bible ???

we can disagree, but I cant follow the doctrine of submission to 'worldly' evil...IF thats what it really means, then i'll be judged and saved accordingly, but its either self defense, or total submission imo...

certainly The Lord can and will do as He pleases, and He spoke things in parables to encourage the study of His Word...He coulda taken the guess work out of it and stated plainly as in the original Law, or the certain revelations to the deciples, but then it wouldnt be faith huh for the rest of us ???

Thanks for your comments...

I guess activism isn’t for the timid. Kinda glad the founding gents didn’t avoid controversy and danger.

What a steaming crock! Obviously you're not even as strongly pro-2A as many on this thread!

Can imagine...even for a minute...what a field day Hussein and his Maoist pals in the media are gonna have with this photo? This photo very possibly could be Hussein's "OKC bombing moment" and we all know how much of a tragedy OKC was for BillyBob's political career,don't we!.And what I've just said is assuming that the armed guy's "background" is pristine...which I'm completely willing to do.But if it's not....if,for example,NPR finds a facebook page of his in which he expresses a wish for Hussein to meet a violent end...then you can,among other things,kiss the Republican nominee's chances goodbye in '12....as well as defeating HusseinCare.

Wow! I sit corrected. I have never seen anyone open carry so I assumed (yes, I know)we didnt have OC. I sit corrected. Thanks! Of course Philadelphia tries to make its own rules up. Been hassled for concealed carry in Philadelphia a couple of times. My lawyer likes the extra change. :)

What about if I got a baton holster and wore the baton on my hip?

Why is it stupid??? We as a country have let these anti 2nd Amendment people brainwash citizens into thinking only crazy people have guns! Funny, I don’t know a person who does not carry!

I am absolutely thrilled to see this man exercising his right to bear arms, they way it is supposed to be! And bravo to the Sheriff to tell these media Bozo’s how the cow eats the cabbage!!!! Love it, I’m gonna send this all I know!!!

"Geez, why is it so hard for people to figure this parable out these days?

Christs sword, the symbol of his church is the CROSS! It represents the WORD (gospel) of christ! Why would christ suddenly say, go buy a sword, when the entire parable is talking about spreading the gospel?"


Glad to see you so sure of yourself.

I disagree.

Christianity is NOT a pacifist religion. I believe that Christians are obligated to defend the defensless.

Do you believe that the Old Testament is divinely inspired?

-Sorry, getting way off topic here-

Then let's give him a million more!

But I know you won't be there, you'll be too worried about what the other side is going to think and say about you.

I am sorry. I disagree. I think he diminished the argument. Again, as a gun owner, I cringe when I see fellow gun owners using poor judgement.I do not think it benefits our cause at all. To the contrary.
