Yes. And at least one state ( I can't remember which one) has passed legislation clarifying that simply bearing arms in public is NOT disorderly conduct.

It won't be disorderly conduct in ANY state as soon as the courts stop ignoring the Second Amendment.

Yes, and that is exactly what we need more of. Sadly, recent events in Washington tell me that many will have to be replaced before we get there at a national level. Perhaps the states are our only refuge now.

Wisconsin comes to mind. It passed that legislation after numerous cases where police abused the “disorderly conduct” law to suppress open carry. There were several lawsuits settled in favor of the open carriers *before* the change in the law.

A number of courts have ruled that merely carrying a firearm is *not* disorderly conduct.
