Sorry but the definition of bear is,
to hold or support and transport somebody or something
So, how does that not give you the right to carry your gun?
The dispatcher actually told her open carry was legal, and then the caller out-right apologized for calling and emphatically stated the men were doing nothing wrong and she didn't want to get them in trouble or waste the cops time.

Just answer the question. If you have the right to bear arms, why can you not open carry. How does it not allow you that right? Answer the question.

Prove this statement. Why do you believe the 2nd ammendment does not allow for the right to open carry? To bear arms means to carry those arms. Are you saying it doesn't allow for carrying arms or that it only disallows certain types of carry.
Give your interpretation. You have made a statement justify that statement through evidence or interpretation. It isn't up to me to prove anything since you made the original statement.

Maybe you need a refresher course in English. I am asking you to justify the statement you made. I quoted it directly so that you would have it in front of you.
Prove or justify the statement you made regarding the second ammendment and open carry.
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm trying to understand why you made the statement. You keep saying that some how I am twisting your words. Yet, I quoted you twice.
Why do you believe that, the second ammendment does not grant the right to open carry?

A prime example of mass paranoia.
One of many excuses used to try

There are plenty of reasons to carry your firearm EVERYWHERE. This includes FAMILY RESTURANTS. I will carry into a chuckie cheese. I dont care. Violent crime can and may happen ANYWHERE at ANYTIME, thus me wanting to be ready at ANYTIME and ANYWHERE.
You think that the American people and their families should be completely vulnerable to criminals just because it makes a few uncomfortable? If American firearm tradition and culture, makes you uncomfortable, move to China or the UK. You'll be much more comfortable there.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
No it does not stipulate a particular type of carry.
However it does say the right to keep and bear arms. To bear arms means to carry them. So while it does not stipulate a form of carry it does give the right to carry.
Are you disputing the fact that it gives the right to carry weapons because it fails to stipulate a type of carry?
If it fails to out right allow for concealed or open carry then what form of carry is meant by the word bear?
I just want your interpretation.

Mass paranoia indeed.

I was asking if that was your belief. I never said that you believed in anything besides what I quoted. If you notice, I repeatedly used a question mark instead of a period. That means it was a question and not a declaritive statement.
