[QUOTE=dogmachines;21574564]Wow, there's alot of my fellow North Carolinian's on FP. Or they just clicked the NC. I don't even think these things are related. He probably didn't even know Obama was there. And we are not a State of hicks, it's actually pretty nice here.[/QUOTE] His visit to Asheville was pretty well-publicized.
Just saying, I had no idea Obama was around. Course I'm in Central NC, Asheville is a good ways west of here.

McVey Poor fuck has a name that sounds like "McVeigh" too. Also: [img]http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/imgad?id=CLeT3e6bsdTa8gEQ2AUYWjIIQ-8NZjH-U7c[/img] Thanks google ads, now I can recreate this scenario too!
I'm not familiar with NC gun laws, but I'm sure it's okay to open carry a firearm. He was in the parking lot too, and AFAIK, you can even enter the airport carrying, provided you don't go too far past a certain point. It sounds like to me that this guy was doing nothing wrong, and someone saw him with a gun and freaked out due to the president being there. That's why they charged him with a bullshit charge, because he wasn't doing anything wrong. It wasn't smart for him to go to the airport with his gun visible, but being dumb isn't a crime.

However, I think the guy was a moron who wasn't really anti-Obama.

That's how Gerald Ford got in as Veep.

The Vice Presidency has been vacant several times due to death, resignation, or succession to the Presidency. Often these vacancies lasted for many years. Under Section 2, whenever there is a vacancy in the office of Vice President, the President nominates a successor who becomes Vice President if confirmed by a majority vote of both Houses of the Congress.

[QUOTE=GunsNRoses;21583395]This was nearly a pun[/QUOTE] It's definitely good wordplay.

Gun? A shit load of people carry guns in the U.S. now. Especially rednecks. North Carolina is loaded with Rednecks. Coincidence. Strobe Lighted Car? Headed to a cheap rave party, he was going to park in the front lawn and keep his car lights on to save money. Rave hosts are known to be low on cash, duh. Coincidence. It's simple logic, people.
An Airport is the last place you'd want to try to kill someone. Camera and security everywhere, trained and armed people at every corner. If you're going to kill someone at least have an ideal location.
