William Kostric – better known as the gun-toting protester outside Obama’s health care townhall meeting – legally strapped a pistol to his leg as he demonstrated against Obama’s reforms. The gun is registered in his name and, as he was protesting with permission on a church’s grounds, police could not do anything.
According to MSNBC, Mr. 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.”
Kostric declared his decision to wear a gun a “political statement.” He said, “If you don’t use your rights, then you lose your rights.” Initially police asked him to move away from a school but when he was within the boundary of the church police said he wasn’t breaking any law.
