NH: Open carry activist outside town hall meeting: “Outside the event where President Obama will conduct his town hall, there is an anti-Obama protestor with a gun — a pistol strapped to his lower leg. The local police chief said it’s legal for the man to have a registered handgun — as long as it is not concealed. What’s more, he is on private property, a church yard, which has given him permission to be there. … The local police say he is within his rights to carry a handgun openly under state law. He was carrying a 9-mm Smith and Wesson strapped to his lower leg. … He’s passing out a bookmark that says, ‘Join the Second Amendment Revolution, the most exciting pro-liberty movement in over 200 years.’”
