Open Carry as FIRST Amendment Right

I think we should start pitching "Obvious Open Carry" as a 1st Amendment issue and get the ACLU to defend our "freedom of expression" on that one. Then we'd have ACLU lawyers arguing against ACLU lawyers and honest Americans could save money on legal fees and spend more on ammunition.

And doesn't this administration realize that the manufacturing of American made ammunition and firearms creates jobs?     Or maybe BHO is more concerned about "playing politics" than he is about saving and creating jobs for American citizens?     Naw - that couldn't be it. [sarcasm font]

And, though he makes it clear that it is a right guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the Constitution and open carry is supported by California state law.
"Under the California penal code, an individual is allowed to wear in a holster, unconcealed, essentially on his belt, a gun" and "...the open carry movement... they are lawfully conducting themselves.  They are not breaking the law."   But Morley Pitt, San Mateo County Assistant District Attorney also makes it clear in the video that he is against this particular Constitutional right and that he feels this makes people less safe.

Most of the citizens interviewed seemed to be just fine with it.
