I read this article, which is linked from the Open Carry home page:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/2100677/American-gun-owners-call-for-cowboy-holsters-to-be-worn-in-public.html

"Their right to wear their gun, usually on a holster at their hip, as they go about their day is protected in state laws that override any constitutional ruling in the US capital, they claim." :shock:

Nobody's making that calim, as far as I know. Apparently, they don't quite understand the US legal system.

I would say they wrote that exactly opposite of the way most 2A advocates would say it.

It should read;
"Their right to wear their gun, usually on a holster at their hip, as they go about their day is protectedby the Constitution in spite ofanylaws in the US to the contrary, they claim."
