There's a NH town that allows nudity on Main St. That's how I feel about the Arizona allowing people to walk around with assault weapons.
Walking around with an assault weapon is like walking down Main St with your penis hanging out of your pants. Legal, but offensive.
@johnrobinson -- like they should arrest them anyway just to protect innocent people who would be intimidated.
In Davos the police have assault rifles. You bet I was scared. That's the point of carrying an assault rifle. To scare people.
@leonardklaatu -- it became an issue when very unattractive people started parading down Main St in the alltogether.
@AlexK -- only in some really weird places in New Hampshire.
It was Brattleboro, Vermont that had the problem with ugly people walking naked down Main St in the middle of the day. http://tr.im/x1Ag
