Just showed him and his pistol. Explained it was legal. Said the SS and cops had eyes on him all day.



I am getting video of it now.

The ignorance and idiocy coming from the in-studio reporter is amazing.

Wow, these guys are idiots.

They mentioned a couple of times that the gun was registered to him. I didn't know NH had gun registration. Is that true?

Ohhh, 'Liberty Tree' - how provocative!

I wonder how many 'Progressives' even understand what his sign means?
I was laughing quite hard when I saw that. The stupid things the reporters were saying do indeed make you wonder if they have even a slight clue what it means. If they did, I bet they wouldn't have shown it.

However you want to look at it, this seems to be some awesome OCer recruiting material. :celebrate

I've met the guy who was OCing and I'm pretty sure he's a Free State Project member (http://freestateproject.org/). The police didn't remove him; he was there all day in the same spot. The Portsmouth PD said he was within his rights and left him alone.

In addition to him open carrying, there were plenty more concealing.

I agree, but I also thought that the on-site guy was trying to do his best and cover the actual story. Seemed like he just tried to glaze over it but the in-studio guy was pestering him about it.

No, New Hampshire doesn't even have a system to register guns. The reporters were just clueless is all.

That's what I figured, thanks for confirming.

Wouldn't be surprised if a cop actually told the field reporter it was registered so it sounded more legit...

Apparently, there's a lot of "ignorance and idiocy" going around. This is from the 'Crooks and Liars' blog:

[SNIP]
NBC caught a man outside the NH town hall with a gun strapped to his leg. It appears to be legal as long as it's not concealed in Portsmouth. And get this. He's on private property and if the owner of the property consents then he can carry the cannon on his leg. What's weird about that is the private property is a church. A man of GOD thinks it's swell to let this man carry a loaded weapon on church grounds. What would Jesus think?
Carlos: You're saying a guy has a gun in the open and 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?
Allen: The Chief of Police, I just asked him because I was amazed too, but apparently the law allows this man to be here as long as the gun is not concealed, it is registered to him apparently and he's on private property on a church ground...
Do you think anybody would be allowed to be near President Bush who had a huge gun strapped on his leg? I doubt that, but this is the country the right wing wants us to live in. And if Sen. John Thune had his way, it wouldn't matter what NH law said if the state that this man came from did let you walk around with a gun. Unbelievable.

I took the time to read through some of the post on the site. Hard to believe some of these people. All seemed to be convinced the guy is a "republican rightwing nut".Sad really.

he would never be in the presence of the POTUS.

He was at a church, near the school where the POTUS was speaking. He is not allowed under federal law (iirc) to go within 1000' of the school grounds. This was never really an issue, but the news made it one.
