Open Carry
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says:
"A well regulated MILITIA, being necessary to the security of a free STATE, the right of THE PEOPLE to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
For those of you that don't understand classic English, I have capitalized words and phrases to help you.
When our Country was founded and the Constituion was adopted, there were representatives from the States that were worried that too much power would be given to the central government. They wanted the right to form their owh army to defend themselves from an agressive and powerful Washington should that become necessary.
The "open carry" folks are NOT a militia as permitted by the Constitution. They are individuals that wish to show off their guns.
