Fairbanks AK group will bare arms to support gun rights

[RamboLiberal]

FAIRBANKS — A growing group of Fairbanks gun rights activists will show their support for the Second Amendment today by openly carrying guns.

“We’re going to have an open carry day,” Schaeffer Cox, unofficial leader of the Second Amendment Task Force, said Thursday.

Members of the task force, which he called a “movement” more than a group or organization, will be displaying their firearms openly across Alaska’s second largest city on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for the next two weeks, Cox said.

“There’s a social stigma that only cops and robbers have guns,” Cox said. “The truth is everybody is packing but nobody knows it because we keep it concealed.”

Hoffman suspects the movement is a result of the election of President Barack Obama, a Democrat whom gun rights activists worry will crack down on gun ownership.

5. So why the big push for concealed carry?

I remember when concealed carry passed in Indiana. Suddenly everywhere you looked were people with holstered pistols on their belt. I took great pleasure in reminding the idiots that it was NEVER illegal for them to carry unconcealed weapons.
