Gun enthusiasts plan to gather in Portland, Maine to support their right to openly carry firearms. The event is part of an "open carry" movement that's gaining momentum across the country.
19-year-old Shane Belanger is a pre med student at the University of Southern Maine.
On campus, Belanger is apt to be carrying a racket, but back home in Caribou he's just as likely to be carrying a holstered gun..
Belanger says he decided to organize an "open carry" rally in Portland after reading about similar gatherings on a pro gun website called opencarry.org.
Shane: "We want to exercise the right we have it's just as legal as carrying a sandwich down the sidewalk there shouldn't be fear from people
. . .
Portland police say they'd just as soon handle the law enforcement themselves.
But they're happy to support the groups right to gather as long as all the firearms stay in the holster.
