Open carry only becomes controversial, yea criminal, if a person "goes armed to the terror or the public".
For this to be a crime, it must be done intentionally for that purpose.
The Constitution doesn't protect people using their natural liberties to commit crimes. Merely open carrying is not a crime, it is a right, but doing so with the clear and obvious intent to terrorize people makes it one.
If this nitwit was honest, he would have written a different column. |

| I open carry here in Arizona nearly every day. Nobody here worries about it. In the last two weeks, at least two "older" ladies have stopped me to thank me for doing so. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
