Right to Protest ... With a Gun?

" Today guy showed up at an Obama event. In Arizona caring what appears to be an eight ar fifteen rifle. And extra banana clip in his back pocket and a handgun on his left hip. Looks like a plot but our next guest might know for sure. Joining us by phone to tell us why we've seen at least twelve people. Arrive at town halls toting firearms. Is -- we're -- survival blog author and a proponent. -- both open carry and even Vermont style concealed carry with no permit required at all thanks for joining us against them. Thanks for having me on September yeah. Start us up here I hear you're all for these guys bringing guns to the town halls or not doesn't concern you don't people bring guns to public -- event."

" No it really doesn't because I think it's it's merely exercising. Their constitutional right we've held all along. And I've I've also been of the opinion that unless you exercise their right you stand at risk of losing that -- It's just like the muscle that after these if you don't use it."

" Tim I gotta tell you I was up in Portsmouth, New Hampshire for the president's town hall meeting at. A major problem with the fact that a man showed up what they've gone there for this reason it. Other people we're scared scared enough to leave people who showed up. -- to express their opinions which they have the right to do but they thought that their safety was at stake. How do you respond to that."

" Well it's the active citizens are armed. It's part of what provides our safety and I think people need to be educated in Baghdad. -- gun and -- it does not represent a -- it's the man behind the gun. If if someone acting irrationally bet --"

" I say it's okay if they don't have a permit. For months that we do have a permit it -- Paul the Second Amendment right. Right day -- in -- agree with you 100% sir if you don't exercise exercise your right. You risk losing it and the theory I think people will tell you that. -- if -- if you're not allowed to carry guns and governments the only one allowed to carry gun. They may be starting to take away your rights with those guns absolute mandatory second and right were entitled to carry a gun legally. Not to use it when you want. Not to discharge it illegally but to carry it absolutely I don't advocate."

" Negative -- journalists don't dig it. Add a little bit further I mean do you would you actually like to see people lots of people show up at these guns militia style. Any admission with a lot of guns and and and have sort of like eight. But wait a gun toting -- town hall meeting. Well sure to accurately targeted it as long as people handle them safely and responsibly. I think it. A good -- academic and a senator that's I think the assumption that most people who long before these guns tightly for a gun toting rallies would have is it making the assumption that. The people with the guns are responsible I mean people get dry they show up at these bands -- got a CR 1420 -- model blocked out of their black banana pocket. Did not get a little scared man. Well it is not likely that the Third World where we're going to show up."

" Political -- and -- guns in the air okay what we're talking about responsible gun ownership. And I I think into a real civics lesson that a lot of people and need to be reminded of -- long tradition in this country. Our right to keep and bear arms and unless you use to write you lose that right."

" This just isn't they. Right Lee plays the try to make that point can you understand -- and they act exactly the right pleased to make a lot yeah."

" I think it is I think it's a bully pulpit. It it gives people the opportunity. To do. Demonstrate that right to the large number of their fellow citizens. And on to it granted in a lot of states open -- is not legal but those states where it is I think if people ought to get back want it."

" Jim what do you think. I don't know the NRA saying right now they cornice is I this novel for the sort of qualify with if it's legal go ahead do it it's legal. But are they going out to you really need to push it right front and center like this especially. Outside of alcohol or Barack Obama president is speaking is that an issue for them."

" That might be for them that we can't speak for them. I know all I can say is that I I hope that people. -- continue to be responsible. And conservative in their gun handling and out on that debt they've made it clear the reason for their doing what they're making. Camp out that again it is it's very important civics lesson."

" Her jail forever aren't. Jim actually I am a pistol and the shotgun and I think that rightfully been in New Mexico but I obviously don't have them here in New York. Do you think that the right to be bring in all three of those guns with me to the happy hour Barbara bull and bear every day illegal. Well I easily edit it looks like it -- it."

" Illegal in New York he would even possess but much less scary and that I I think -- I would like to speak. Laws in the country normalized. That's the point where are we all -- Not discretionary concealed carry permit in an open carry -- god and even that goes so far to say Vermont style carry. Where there's no permits required -- concealed carry inside the city limits. I think he'll work we're mature responsible adult in this nation. -- we -- given a lot of responsibility by our creator. And I and our constitution it's merely the guarantor of those rights and it's it's incumbent upon us to use them responsibly but as long as we continue to do so. More power to them."

" I tend. Thanks so much for joining us I'm happy hour where you major point."
