A 9mm pistol holstered clearly to his side, and holding a placard that references spilling the blood of patriots, this gunman is waiting for none other than Barack Obama.
But instead of being wrestled to the ground by police and taken away to prison, William Kostnic is left untouched - because it is legally OK to carry a weapon in New Hampshire so long as it is not concealed. Even American commentators were taken aback at the sight.
'Just to be clear,' a baffled MSBC anchor said to the reporter on the scene.
'You're saying a guy has a gun in the open - where we already know there are concerns about every president's safety, but certainly this president... and the guy's just being allowed to stay there? Is that right?' The reporter replied that the chief of police had told him that 'the law allows this man to be here'.
Kostnic was waiting for the U.S. president before a town hall meeting in the town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire yesterday. He stood in the grounds of a nearby church, which was private property, and police had no objections to his presence, MSNBC reported.

Well, he’s black, or at least the half they care about, so they’re probably certain he’s going to be lynched at any moment.
Some folks in the USA are the same way. I was in Tombstone a while back and a gent from Illinois asked how all those re-enactors were allowed to cary guns.
He was amazed that AZ is an open carry and CCW state. I added that unlike IL, AZ citizens do no need a state license just to own a gun.
Some of those police don’t seem to be very enthusiastic Obama supporters.
Brits have permitted their radicals to totally take over their lives and they are abusive as heck. Each to his own, I guess.
Glad our founders parted ways with them and I think it is time the US part ways with our royalty and their nasty subjects.
It’s sometimes said with only the tyrants but I think the original said both. Which makes sense if you think about what he was trying to say: the things which must occur periodically to ensure liberty will result in the shed blood of tyrants and patriots. He’s not saying that shedding the blood of patriots, or even that of tyrants, is an end in itself, merely that it’s the inevitable outcome of the necessary events.
Don't be too hard on Prissie Chrissie. Obama's candidacy and presidency is the first time in years he's had a tingle up his leg, so anything that could even be CONSTRUED as a threat to Obama is big stakes for him.
...the Brits aren't the problem with this.
WTH? Did you read my post correctly? I defended the guy’s right to do what he did under the Second Amendment !
““And the prez. is going to enter thru the front door?? Gimmie a break.””
Help me out a little, I don’t get your point.
Oops, it's in the way I wrote - it, saying "you" - and not in what your opinion was.
Very sorry for the misunderstanding, FRiend!
(This is at least the second big mistake I've made in a few days... maybe I need a break.)
Bambi is giving all of us a blood pressure spike that leads to quick decisions . Can’t wait till its over .
Our police in Michigan use to have guns and billyclubs...Dad was a mounted man and said a crowd or riot would disperse pretty quickly with a row of mounted men swinging billy clubs come at them full gallop...He was a cop during some of the early union riots in Detroit..
