This particular guy would be dangerous armed in public.
"Well regulated" has nothing to do with the right of the people to keep and bear arms. The 2nd amendment to the constitution does not grant us that right. That right is granted us by our Creator. The 2nd amendment clearly states "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
My personal opinion is that an individual should not strap a pistol to their side, for everyone to see, and walk around in public. But if they choose to, it is their right.
And to go back to the whole legal/illegal sign debate. It's a bunch of crap. That is nothing more than another way for lawyers and politicians to make money. If the owner of a business decides to spray paint their door to say no guns allowed, then don't take a gun in there. It's their property, and they get to make the rules. If you come to my house, you abide by my rules. If you don't like my rules, then stay away. If I come to your house, I either abide by your rules, or I leave. It really is that simple.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is,
as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
