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.
Horse-apples, NOW is exactly the CORRECT time to remind the Leftist Commies in the USA that OUR SIDE has the weaponry to defend ourselves from the over reaching SOB Government!!
bttt
So the “Live Free or Die” state actually has people that can carry in public, and it hasnt turned into a third-world cesspool like.....CHICAGO?!?!
It is his right, and to some extent in the other town halls, some responsible exercise of the 2nd Amendment may be necessary to guarantee the exercise of the 1st.
However, I would also not have done so today. Whether we like it or not, there is a different “security” standard that applies to the POTUS, whether he is Republican or democrat. I would not openly carry a weapon anywhere near a presidential event. It’s a matter of personal discretion.

Awwwwww FREAK OUT!
LOL
Cry me a river. The left will tar and feather us no matter what. Next they’ll say that they object to conservatives wearing white shirts, and some conservative will wear a white shirt and some weak-kneed rinos will freak out on the conservative.
I applaud this man for standing up for his rights.
“wouldnt do it but nonetheless hes in his right.”
It’s a safe bet there is a rifle on the head of every armed non-law enforcement person within 5 miles of Obama right now.
And though I say rightfully so, it is something that everyone should keep in mind...
HA!~HA!.....
I’ll be armed at the Rhinelander, Wi. party tonight at 6 pm.
We expect acorn and seiu and they have a reputation ya know.
When the liberals hit a brick wall!.....
I bet the SEIU thugs don’t bother this man. I hope we see more “legally armed” citizens at these “Town Hall” meetings!
You’re buying into the mindset that being armed is something extraordinary and that conservatives should be defensive about it. Instead, it should be reinstituted as a common thing about which people don’t faint at first sight. Do you freak out too? Curious.
I think this was the first time MSNBC didn't have a laugh about the shoe-throwing incident.
It’s not like he will be allowed inside with it...geez.
And a lot of people agreeing with him.
What’s the problem? BHO et al are willing to go that far to enforce the plan. Some (many?) are willing to go that far to stop it.
Good point!.....Don’t even think about it SEIU! HA! HA!
Hope he knows someone is glassing with a very large rifle.
