If you arm yourself with an AK, shouldn't you arouse the suspicion of our Govt? I mean, we seem to have a thing against other large groups of folks who carry Mikhail's rifle around . . . oh wait, THOSE groups of people are Muslims.

@ Dick_Pender. You seem to be missing the point of this rally. We were there to educate people on our 2nd Amendments rights. The NH state constitution gives us the right. They were breaking no laws, and were and are legally carrying their arms in the support of this rally. Maybe you should first educate yourself on the laws of NH before making knee jerk reactions and jumping to conclusions on a subject you apparently have no clue of
