Once the guy in New Hampshire brought his gun out to an Obama event, it had to be expected that others would do the same. Today in Arizona at the Veterans of Foreign Wars national convention where Obama spoke, one unnamed guy even brought out an AR-15. I give this guy props!
A man, who decided not to give his name, was walking around the pro-health care reform rally at 3rd and Washington streets, with a pistol on his hip, and an AR-15 (a semi-automatic assault rifle) on a strap over his shoulder.
"Because I can do it," he said when asked why he was armed. "In Arizona, I still have some freedoms."
Two police officers were staying very close to the man.
"What he is doing is perfectly legal," Det. J. Oliver, of the Phoenix Police Department said. "We are here to keep the peace. If we need to intervene, we will intervene at that time."
