The man with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle was among about a dozen people carrying guns outside the convention centre where President Barack Obama spoke Monday. Other people have been visibly carrying firearms near Obama's events recently. During a health care town hall in New Hampshire last week, a man stood outside with a pistol strapped to his leg.
Phoenix police say the people with guns, including the man with the rifle, don't need permits. No crimes were committed, and no one was arrested. The man with the rifle told The Arizona Republic he was carrying the weapon because he could.
No mention that it was a black man with the AR-15, anywhere.
