They show up at all Obama events, but I didn't see a single one yesterday.

Maybe they were guarding the perimeter?

1. The open carry nuts at Obama events are a barely veiled threat.
They have nothing to do with gun rights at all any more than Whitestock was about God or whatever the hell Beck babbled about.

5. well, there is a national guard
but let me tell you, open carry in front of the White House is going to be met with a, shall we say, forceful response. the Secret Service is not known for their sense of humor about such things. plus, the rally was on national parkland, such places are ruled by Federal Law, not DC Law.
