there are a couple of youtube clips from today's randi rhodes broadcast (wed 9/21) that are worth a listen.
the title of this post is one of the clips, about 16 minutes long: "can you really open carry IF you're black?"
the other one is: "50 year old black vet asks what the hell is happening?" and is about 6 1/2 minutes long.
some of us are randi rhodes fans, some are not, some don't care, and some don't know a thing about her.
if you're curious about this 'randi rhodes person', want to hear another progressive voice, or hear what she's doing these days, i suggest you find/google those two clips on youtube and take a listen for yourself. this is her new show that was brought into existence through a kickstarter campaign, and this is how she sounds today.
no corporate ass to kiss, no censorship.
pure randi. enjoy!
ps...
i'm posting this through a little kindle tablet, and i can't do the links for you... sorry!

(17,865 posts)Carrying a weapon in your hand is going to get a reaction from LEO. I am researching now to determine if you can open carry in North Carolina in your hand. I read a long document put out by NC on the laws in the state, and it does not address the question

The pro gun sites seen to think it is a no brainer that you should never have your handgun out of its holster in public unless you are planning on using it. Same goes for low carry of long guns (these should be slung on the back).
We really need to see the video in North Carolina to understand what actually happened. It would be quite the conspiracy if it was actually a book and a gun was planted.
