When purchasing a firearm you are required to prove who you are and submit to a background check. In many places, one doesn't even need to show ID to vote. So you might want to rethink that one.
Do you not need to show some form of ID to register to vote? Isn't that the same thing?

As the law stands now, this guy did nothing wrong. If you don't like his actions or legality, then try to get it changed.
I'm not saying that he did anything illegal, and I am not advocating that we make open carry of any weapon illegal. I just don't see the harm in subjecting people who want to open carry rifles in a crowded city to questioning and being asked to ID themselves. Is it an infringement on the right to bear a firearm? Absolutely. Is requiring one to provide an ID to vote an infringement on the right to vote? Absolutely. In both instances, I think the slight infringement is far outweighed by the potential negative consequences that could follow if the safeguards are not in place.

How, exactly, that an infringement. He can still bear the firearm while he gets his ID out. I don't recall the second amendment saying anything about not being able to ask for an ID.

Personally, the guy wearing a kilt was the most disturbing part of the video.
I don't think open carry should be illegal, but it seems kind of stupid when I see people doing it. Seems to me that when the psycho nut job storms into the Cracker Barrel to kill every jagof in there, that hog leg on your hip is either going to make you his first target or make everyone expect you to jump up and go all OK Corral on his arse and get yourself shot by either the psycho or the amped up cops responding. To each his own, I guess.
