I hope this goes nationwide. This is awesome!
While I’m glad he supports us on this, I’m sad that our rights are so defined by the arbitrary whims of the bureaucrats.
Not for long.
Like the gajillions of useless polls, these announcements only serve to tell Liberal-Socialists what they still have to do.

Had he been a RAT, would the paper have stated his party so early in the article? If something bad does happen, gotta get the pubbies blamed, you know.
Oh, wait there would have been no story; he'd have threatened disorderly conduct and menacing charges against open weapons carriers!
This and the 9th Circuit decision that says states and local governments must abide by the 2nd Amendment make this a good day for gun owners.
Bump for your pinglist!
KEEPER!!!
AZ is an open carry state, but I still wouldn’t do it. Too many Californicators and New Yorkers have moved here and will have an aneurism if they see you walk into K-Mart with a holster and sidearm. I’ve seen it happen.
You know, his last name would make for a great name for a band.
I guess plastering Van Hollen’s picture on milk cartons finally paid off.
A pleasant surprise from JB.
Ought to be interesting to see how this plays out. Especially in light of the 9th Circus' surprise ruling.
While taking the c.c.w. class here in Florida they stress, If a cop approaches you for any investigation, let them know you have a c.c.w. and offer to let them check your i.d. and do what ever they say.
Then sue them if they screw you out of your rights.
A little open-carry march in Ohio over the weekend. From the Springfield News Sun (Ohio):
Residents march with firearms in downtown

URBANA — Ruth Helms’ jaw dropped just a little as she sat in a barber shop in downtown Urbana and a small parade of armed men and women walked past the business.
In order to raise awareness about Ohio’s gun laws, a group of about 30 men, women and children celebrated their right to bear arms Saturday, April 18.
Thomas Horch, who organized the Patriots’ Day Open Carry Walk, said the walk was designed to educate people about gun rights in Ohio. For about an hour, the small group walked through downtown Urbana carrying rifles and handguns. The rifles were not loaded, and the handguns were holstered at all times, Horch said. Authorities were also notified about the walk in advance.
“We just want to exercise our liberties,” said Michael Craft of St. Paris. “It’s more of a celebration. It’s not a protest or anything.”
Joseph Ponikvar traveled all the way from Cleveland to join in the walk. He said he wanted to show his support for Ohio’s open carry laws. He said he is also trying to organize a rally on May 30 in Cleveland. Ponikvar said he believes it is actually safer to carry guns openly as opposed to concealed carry laws.
“I personally don’t like concealed carry unless you have to do it,” he said.
Horch said the walk has grown a little since last year, when about 15 people showed up. This year, the figure roughly doubled, he said. Those who attended the walk were not required to carry a firearm.
Horch said the walk, which was in its second year this year, would be an annual event in Urbana.
