The crime is called "going armed to the terror of the public", and it's been around since our beginning. That concept was well within the public understanding at the time of our founding, and such behavior was considered criminal. Guess what? It still is.
This guy knew or should have known that walking around with a hi-cap semi-auto AND black ballistic clothing AND a bunch of spare mags would likely terrorize people. His is a textbook case.
Open carry, yes. Open carry like Rambo on a mission, NO. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
