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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
