MSNBC is freaking out.  Apparently the exercise of not one, but two constitutional rights at the same time is too much for the liberal network to handle.  An American with a gun? The horror!

Outside the event where President Obama will conduct his town hall, there is an anti-Obama protestor with a gun — a pistol strapped to his lower leg.

The local police chief said it’s legal for the man to have a registered handgun — as long as it is not concealed. What’s more, he is on private property, a church yard, which has given him permission to be there.

*** UPDATE *** More on the man with the gun… William Kostric is a married man in his mid 30S who works in sales. He says he moved here to New Hampshire from Arizona about a year ago, because it’s a “live free or die” state — and he thought Arizona was becoming too restrictive with its gun laws.

…

The local police say he is within his rights to carry a handgun openly under state law. He was carrying a 9-mm Smith and Wesson strapped to his lower leg.

Police say he’s OK on a public sidewalk. Kostric says he has permission from a church just down the street from the high school to be on its private property.

Be warned: the ignorant, anti-freedom attitude continues in the article’s comments.

Update: Chris Mathews makes an ass of himself.  Kostric handles his hysterics well.
