You might not think you would need to be armed to order a latte, but the Bay Area gun owners--who are loosely affiliated with a website called OpenCarry.org--are hoping to draw attention to what they see as a Second Amendment guarantee: the right to carry a gun without fear that it will be confiscated. In at least three states--including, oddly, Texas--it is illegal to carry a gun openly. The Supreme Court recently heard arguments in McDonald v. Chicago, a case that will decide whether state and local gun-control ordinances violate the Second Amendment. The court is expected to rule on the case before the Justices adjourn in June for the summer. In the meantime, gun advocates and opponents are fixed with anticipation and worry--hence the OpenCarry.org demonstrations of firepower.
