Time to Water the Tree of Liberty

MSNBC just aired video of a man with a pistol strapped to his leg waiting for Barack Obama to arrive at a townhall in New Hampshire.

The man is carrying a sign that says, "It Is Time to Water the Tree of Liberty." That's a reference to a Thomas Jefferson quote: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants." It was a favorite slogan of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who was wearing a T-shirt when he was arrested with a picture of Lincoln on the front and a tree dripping with blood on the back.

Now, this guy is carrying a legal weapon, says NBC News' Ron Allen. The local chief of police has no objections. Open carriage of licensed handguns is legal in New Hampshire, and the man is standing on the private property of a nearby church (!) that has no problem with an armed man hanging around.

Seems a little wonky to me.

People are getting so worked up over these townhall meetings I hope nothing happens. All you need is one person thats a zealot or in some hate group that doesn't like government and something could happen. Most people are legitimate people but you only need one nut to do something.

Exactly and this has turned into a VERY, VERY hot topic. Because people are afraid (and maybe rightly so) that it will in the long term affect their PRIVATE ins. by putting them out of business etc. I know around here it shows plenty of cops in the room but still it only takes a second.......

I agree people have a right to voice their concerns. I just hope people that are anti-government or crazy stay away. There doesn't seem to be a lot of that happening which is good.
