(17,502 posts)We the people are represented though the various elected Representatives and elected administrators. Obama is "We the People" but Holder is not. I don't know who decides in MD, but NYC the decision is up to a police Sgt, with a police Lt to verify the decision.
If it's legal why don't we all do it? Most don't. Go to Vermont, Wyoming, Arizona, or even Oregon and see how many open carriers there are. For example:
In Wyoming, you can't carry concealed in a government meeting. You can open carry. Why? When Wyoming liberalized CCW, the leg had to think about it where you can and can not carry. Since open carry is very rare, and as far as I know, no one has at a city council meeting, making a law on the subject would amount to creating a solution in search of a problem. There is no restriction simply because no one thought of it, or thought of a need for it. If there is a sudden surge of former New Yorkers (or people from Utah, both are the butt of jokes there) decide to make asses out of themselves, I'm sure the leg would change the law.
